(yeah i know leftbook is generally bad and no i didn't expect anything better but still)

Yes, employers should be paying delivery drivers way more instead of other working-class people making up the difference. Yes, the US system of tipping and the fact that service workers rely so heavily on tips is fucked up. No, that doesn't give you an excuse to not tip the person who's bringing you your treats.

Multiple people called this meme "ableist" and "classist" :agony-shivering: and even more are saying "delivery driving's way easier than making the food and sometimes they deliver it to the wrong place!!! so they don't deserve to be paid more!"!!

If your arguments sound exactly the same as a chud's, you are not a leftist, you are a propaganda mouthpiece for billionaires that would love to see you drop dead. Shut the actual fuck up you PMC radlib swine. /rant

    Holy shit that's so little... I get like paid $6 per delivery by Uber and that's increased depending on how far I have to drive.

    This makes total sense now, holy shit. I hope we don't end up like America, those poor fucking drivers, I wonder how many of them know how hard Uber is stiffing them compared to here.

      how far I have to drive.

      apparently americans can get a mileage rate as well but it isn't based on actually mileage lol. I'm having trouble seeing if this is a given tho. seems it may be folded into a "trip supplement" payment that can include a lot of things outside the base pay. Idk seems like they purposefully keep this shit vague so they can pay whatever they feel lol

      Mileage Rate

      This portion of your payout considers the mileage between pickup and dropoff points.

      The Uber app, however, uses the most efficient rate.

      It does not track the distance that you actually travel.

      It also does not consider the mileage that you travel while getting to your next pickup point.

      You should also note that this rate is only applicable in certain cities, such as New York and Los Angeles.

      You may want to look into whether Uber offers mileage pay in your respective city.

      When you sign up to drive, you’ll receive more information about your delivery location and respective pay rates.
