      At my old place it was paid for by the employer (which I think is the standard? idk I’ve only ever worked at pizza places my entire life) maybe they’ll let me back

      Easy, just deliver on a bike instead. They’ll give you shorter routes too.

          Ah, I see. I live in suburban america, but I will admit it depends on where you are. My town is older, has a lot of pre-car infrastructure, so commercial zones and residential zones are more interspersed (the idea of zoning is pretty car centric actually), and we haven’t been hit by any crazy projects trying to stick a highway through us.

          I can imagine someplace more impacted by the post WWII suburban sprawl. I’ve had to live in places like that, and I genuinely think it’s an evil cancer in American society (We have far too many of those). It’s probably only worth doing in a place like that if you’re a crazy biker like me anyways. Sorry, I couldn’t resist the urbanist urge to talk of the tragedy of American cities…

          Also, Doordash does offer a lot of relief for gas prices. They would need to, or else no one would do it. I assume other delivery services would too.
