The reason for this is door dash pays abysmal without a tip. It might be $2 for them
Not that I don’t empathize, but it seems this would encourage them to hustle and give good service. Yes, a few assholes will stiff them, but people like myself would tip well and they could flourish. DV away.

Never have and never will use that service

Why not?

The last Door Dash I ordered or ever will order sent it's tiny little child to my 4th floor hotel room with my order. Yeah, let's incentivize more of these losers to come into our plane of existence.
Maybe I'm missing something, but what's the issue? Was that driver supposed to wait at the entrance of the hotel, and you leave your room? Wouldn't that be more work for you, leaving the comfort of your hotel room and having to meet him halfway?
Also, why are delivery drivers losers? Are they beneath you somehow?

All restaurant servers would quit and start Doordashing.

Right. People out hustling to make more money should be right up the OT’s alley.

I agree with you, in principle, and think this is usually the case. But, there's some people, more than you think, that don't tip (at least on regular Ubers) no matter the quality of service.

They also can't drive UPS in their pajamas or while high, and they can't "work their own hours". I've seen people describe it as running their own business. It's wild.

Point proven. Loser.

That the driver was too lazy to deliver the food and sent a little kid to drop it off at his room

Now, think about the cut that these food delivery services already take from restaurants. I wonder how much that will go up with this stupid pay hike? Don't worry, though, there's no way that cost gets passed along to the consumer.
And the uber eats and grub hubs don't rape restaurants just in NY and other cities. It is everywhere.

There's an easy solution. Do what I normally do and just go to the restaurant yourself to pick up the order!
My philosophy is if I have two legs and a car, in the vast majority of circumstances, I don't need an Uber Eats/Doordash driver to pick up my food with a very long wait time and deliver it to me. I can just go get it myself.

I agree with you. Fortunately, some restaurants have wisened up to this. They don't want to put the burden on their entire customer base, so they basically carry two different menus with different pricing. If you order online or through an app, you will see one price. If you call them or place your order in person and wait, you get a different, cheaper price. I've been told this by two different restaurants lately, one Chinese and one Vietnamese. They will do the delivery services, but they aren't going to lose their asses on every order.

It is just terrible how they force people to deliver food for such low pay.
It's slavery really. They should demand reparations

Let's pay DoorDash/UberEats workers $33/hr - NYC
Posted on 4/29/23 at 4:37 pm to MJackson
I know it’s NY, but the equivalent of $70K a year to deliver food. Unreal.

Easy solution.
Don't live in NYC.
Don't use door dash etc.

Good, I'm sure Uber is a woke company, let them enjoy the fruits of democrat control.

How would the company decide how many hours a driver worked? You want $33/hour? Fine but work a minimum number of hours to get that and you don’t get to be as picky on your trips since tips won’t be as important. Hours worked could be the time you’re actively picking up and delivering.
I swear, food delivery drivers are right up there with teachers about complaining about their jobs. It’s like all the negative aspects of the job could not have possibly been known before starting work.
