Learned something new today. Had no idea. What a fucking trash company.
Just don't ever use doordash if you can help it
I'd rather just eat my food at home and donate $10 to a homeless guy and have him listen to me talk about communism for a few minutes or something
I work at a restaurant, and we can talk about the utter bullshit a tip system is, but with DoorDash, we don’t see any tips from those orders. So now, in a time when hours are slashed and staff is stretched thin, a rise in DoorDash orders means extra work with no real compensation for it outside of minimum wage.
You know, I used to find it a bit sleazy that a lot of restaurants would calculate the tip based on the total + tax, rather than just the total (which is how it's supposed to be done)
A bit sleazy, but it's still just pennies. With Doordash, Grubhub, etc I've seen all sorts of nonsense charges for like $3 each. You order a $15 meal and it comes out to $25. It's actual trash and the owners should all be rounded up and ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((hugged)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Anything but a gig app. Just be sure to tip well. Delivery based in brick and mortar stores is still ripe with labor abuse, but at least it's just wage slavery and not tenant farming with tech characteristics.
Honestly every time I see something missing I just assumed the restaurant fucked up, pretty damn rediculous they put this onto the driver and not the restaurant.
Does anyone know if this is true for the other food delivery apps?
I’m assuming this is a recent change because I saw a comment on reddit about a month ago from a restaurant owner that implied they had to pay for items reported missing.
I’m sure 99% of the time it’s not the driver’s fault if there’s a missing item, especially when stuff is sealed so they can’t even check if it’s there.

This is assuming that the Techbro ghouls aren't penalizing both the restaurant and the driver and keeping the extra.
The gig bubble is gonna burst and holy fuck is it gonna be hell on earth. Millions upon millions of people losing either primary income or supplemental income that pays their rent.
Labor will become cheap as people compete more and more viciously for jobs that pay only enough for you to buy shift meals so your kids don't starve.
No labor laws cover gig workers, because they're "not employees"
Do you have any source for that? I completely believe you but I want to share for others edification. Thank you!
I just made a post advocating for the opposite and a bunch of drivers told me not to do that.
