I have been fortunate this year that my employment was never interrupted. I am not an essential worker, however I am fortunate enough to work for a company that has the means to support its workforce working remotely. However since I have been working from home for so long, it has encouraged me to invest a little money into my home and office. This obviously comes with a price and well, I am not really "swimming in it" right now. So I am looking at other options that offer a lot of flexibility and can get me some side money.
I am thinking about food delivery service driver. My Canadian Auto Insurance provider already has an agreement with Uber, where any ride-share or delivery service through them is covered on my existing policy. I also have a friend who did Uber Eats delivery with her boyfriend in December/January while she was in-between jobs to make ends meet, and she said that they did bring in quite a bit of money. Not enough to completely replace her income in a full time job, but pretty darn close. I figure if I can come up with another $500-$1000 per month, I will be laughing all the way to the bank. Thinking only doing evenings/dinners and it would also be good to get me out of the house since I am spending so much time at home right now (work and play is all at home...I am a good quarantine person), but it might be good to go and do some random drives, and make a little side money doing it.
Have any of you dabbled, thought of, or even done something with Uber, Skip the Dishes, Door Dash, or any other food delivery/ride-share program? How did it go for you? What horror/happy stories do you have (or know from those who have done it)?
