OP here. If everyone tipped 10%, these drivers would be making approximately $42 per hour by my calculations. You don’t think that seems a bit high?[/quote]

Most people don't have $200-300 orders. My last order was $100 and I tipped $5.[/quote]

This is the OP. I calculated that using the total amount of groceries they are delivering on a shift, which is $2500 (across 17 deliveries, so $147 is the typical delivery total). So I'm taking that into account in my calculations. $2500 x 10% = $250. Divide by 9 hours (length of shift) and that's $28. Add on the $14 base pay, that's $42 per hour. [/quote]

Where do you get they do $17 deliveries a day?[/quote]

OP here. I found this “day in the life of” article. Not a representative sample, but it’s the best I could find.

I work for Instacart and see these guys all day. They are at most doing 5- 6 deliveries a day. Maybe 8 on the weekends. Now that covid is dying down, the orders have dropped SIGNIFICANTLY. Folks are getting thier own groceries.[/quote]
