Sharron Simmons, the first DoorDash employee to ever deliver a meal to the White House, said she hopes that the benefits she’s reaping from President Donald Trump’s no-tax-on-tips policy will extend past its current 2028 lifespan.
“Well, obviously, we would like for it to continue, but I’m going to enjoy it while I’ve got it. And, you know, it’s not for me to decide that,” she told Fox News Digital during a Monday interview shortly after delivering a McDonald’s order to Trump.
Overall, Simmons says she believes she’s taking home more than $11,000 in extra income.
“I figure that I’m probably going to be saving about $3,000 to $4,000,” Simmons said.

Despite the future uncertainty of the policy’s current timeline, Simmons said she would focus on the present moment.
“[In] younger years, I didn’t feel like my voice could be heard. And I feel now like we are heard,” Simmons said.
