This Uber Eats driver only accepts high-value orders in the hope of getting big tips. He says it's 'like gambling,' but 'very exciting.'

• An Uber Eats driver told The New York Times that only accepting high-value orders is like "gambling."
• Brantley Bush, 56, said he spends about 40 hours a week driving his 2000 Subaru to deliver food.
• He told the newspaper he felt delivery drivers were now considered "the bottom of the barrel."

Some food delivery drivers try to complete as many orders as possible on a shift to boost their earnings, but Brantley Bush takes a somewhat different approach.

The 56-year-old, who drives an elderly Subaru, told The New York Times that he focuses on affluent parts of Los Angeles such as Beverly Hills and Pacific Palisades, where high-value orders are more common. So are big tips – in theory, at least.
