Your driver would have been paid a total of $6.50 $5.00 on that order.
Thank you for canceling.
Not all providers deserve your business.
Emails are permanent records. Your focus seems to be on how they sound to the initial recipient.
My concern is how they sound to the person reading them six months or two years later. What I have found is that the longer the delay between having written the email and it being read, the more pissed off the reader is when they are reading it. If the problem is big enough that they need to come back to me two years later, the reader is probably not going to appreciate the lighthearted jests I originally included.
My work emails with colleagues are brusque and formulaic. I don't include enough content to even begin to guess at mood or emotional state.
I'm not saying you should use email this way. I'm saying that I have little use for adjectives, articles, and my recipients rarely have need for a scroll wheel. I can't imagine ever using either an emoticon or an emoji in a work email.
I used the same approach at the family business for years without any major problems. Go for it.
I'll be in my bunk.
Pro tip: If you order Five Guys through DoorDash, UberEats, etc, you should know that Five Guys doesn't start cooking your fries until the driver gets there. Since these services usually give their drivers two or three stops at a time, and drivers know they will be delayed at Five Guys, drivers go out of their way to rearrange their pickups to get to Five Guys first. The Five Guys delay gives the other places a little extra time to complete their orders, so hopefully the driver will be able to get in and out with no additional delay.
It also means that your food will be waiting on the driver's cold passenger seat the longest possible time.
All that is just a matter of practicality. The drivers are trying to make the best of a bad situation. Some, though, take it a step further: it's not fair for the customers of other, better stores to suffer from Five Guys corporate policy. So they make sure the Five Guys order is not just picked up first, but also dropped off last.

Government should not be efficient, at least not in what the business class calls "efficiency".
Government is the entity that performs those tasks that need to be done, but nobody wants to do. If those essential tasks can be done "efficiently", everyone is going to want to get paid for doing them.
I've been looking for a Fediverse equivalent to uneddit. Something to restore comments removed by powertripping mods. Your community seems to be on a parallel track.
Ain't no prisoner gonna mess with him without his say so. He got a standing ovation when he showed up.
You're hoping he has good sex in prison?
No, dude, that's a pedophile.
An hero we need. We don't deserve him.
Yeah, but the DUI also buys you 3 meals a day for 6 months or so.
No. The problem wasn't the amount of traffic. The problem was the delay from the lights. It was enough to build up long queues on three of the six entry roads. It turns out when you don't unnecessarily impede drivers, they don't become "traffic".
A housing allotment (~100 single family homes) was built about a mile down one of the feeder roads. An elementary school was torn down on another road, but a high school and rec center were built on the old site. The number of vehicles passing through that intersection has only increased.
Maxinum throughput of a round about is much higher than a typical stoplight.
Now, if stoplights typically went to flashing red instead of solid red, so drivers could proceed if traffic was clear, they would approach the efficiency of a roundabout.
Did'n I just tell you to stop makin' up animals?
