Needless to tell you that I follow you because you already know eh eh!
I really like this type of relationship, moreover, as you know, I find this working formula interesting, so I am pleased to read your developments.
I'm sure you'll be able to increase your earnings and I don't think you'll do it just by working more hours; in my opinion, by practicing you will be able to maximize deliveries at the same time; obviously by doing a few more hours it will be easier to achieve certain gains.
However, I like the effort you put into it and the value you give to time, we see it the same way!
The last company I worked for the thought of its workers as "bodies" and not human beings. At least with Instacart, they don't try to get me to overwork myself. I like that it is up to me and not somebody else whether or not I show up to do some work.
I'm with you on that thought about increasing my earnings. I don't want to increase the hours, but with more experience and better shopping strategies, I should see a decent bump in my average hourly pay.
This is the worst thing, one is inclined not to work well and indeed to not really want to work under certain conditions.
