What I liked

I could make my own schedule, I did not respond to any "boss," and the I included tips in the "hourly wage" which resulted in me getting paid more than an average part-time job every week. I was also able to take my friend on deliveries with me, which allowed us to talk and listen to music as we drove around and made money.
