Right? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago Careful, you'll have cherrypickers coming in to defend/tell you how wrong you are for disliking "gig economy" apps when they're a literal scam meant to keep the middle and lower classes subservient. These cherrypickers are apparently making bank just doing these deliveries though, and we totally shouldn't question their methods, how many apps they actually work for, or whether they're just straight up lying. I hate doordash, Ubereats, grubhub, any of them. It's such bullshit to be constantly accepting orders that pay literally $2.50 for driving them a coffee from the one place they need it from across the county. permalink fedilink source parent [–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 week ago If you are using either of these companies you kinda get what you deserve. permalink fedilink source parent
