I know that tipping culture has completely changed over the past decade. These days, it feels like we have to tip everyone, which can be really annoying. But from a DoorDasher perspective, I would take into account the weather or traffic. Is it at 5 o'clock and your dasher is going to be sitting in traffic waiting, waiting at the restaurant, driving in a snowstorm? If so, a decent-sized tip can long way.

Also consider, how far do you live from the restaurant? If you're across the street, a small tip is totally okay. But if you're eight miles away, it's a bit different. What most DoorDashers say is you should tip between $1 and $2 per mile. I even recommend extra if there is inclement weather, lots of traffic, or other circumstances that would make the delivery a challenge.

Strategies to win the lottery?
Are there any tricks to winning the lottery? I mostly play scratch-offs and stuff like that, but I’m beginning to wonder if there are any games or strategies I should know about. I always kind of thought it was just random, but I know a guy who swears by this thing where he buys tickets at a certain time? I don’t know. What’s the deal? Are there strategies or no?

How do I tell a cute boy I like him without being embarrassed 🙈?!
I really like a boy and I am not sure that he likes me. He is just a little bit taller than me, brown hair and hazel eyes. I wouldn’t say he’s a nerd, but he is very good at school. I’ve liked him for around 4-3 years now.

The thing that made me first like him, (you know, turned me on) was when he had the courage to let me see his story’s. I thought that I was the only one in my class who made up story’s and tried to make them into something real! The best part was when he looked at me smiling and said that he thought he might give writing and drawing a try, turns out he is a fantastic artist and writer. But the fact that he wanted to try something that I shared with him warms my heart. He also told me that he only showed three people sooooo I mean like…

Idk I need help with this he is really cute and I wanna show hints and make him show a few hints
