Comment on Uber, Grubhub and DoorDash must pay NYC delivery workers an $18 minimum wage
echo64@lemmy.world 1 year agoIf they leave, people are still going to want food delivered. The job still exists. Uber just isn’t their to skim their money and squeeze drivers dry

Restaurants used to just have their own delivery drivers. Crazy, right?
I delivered pizza and later Chinese food for years, working directly for a restaurant. I get the sense you got a way better level of service from that arrangement, as well, versus the Uber Eats randos you get these days. You sure as shit did from places where I was a driver.

My wife and I have gone back to when we order food, like our pizza night, ordering directly from the place. I know the drivers are getting paid a decent wage and without all the extra fees it’s more reasonably priced. Plus the food actually arrives in a timely fashion and is still hot rather than the driver doing a bunch or other deliveries before us and the food being cold.

I haven’t read Snow Crash in decades. I think I’ll revisit it.

As soon as I read the word Deliverator a smile came across my face. An actual Snow Crash reference.
