  I think they should really go all out and just text “is it cool if I deliver to you at the restaurant parking lot, I got a real busy night, just come on down and help a guy out?”

  I think it’s more the nature of the question being “hey is it cool if I don’t complete the delivery as written and just save myself some minutes by doing curbside when we promised door-to-door?” That’s what I’d have to guess is annoying to people.

  I don’t think it has to be easy, these are tough jobs. So are most jobs, and mistakes do happen. But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with expecting the service that the company is offering to actually be performed to completion. I get it’s tough working in something like an oil change place, but promising to do the whole job and then deciding to not do some part of it because “things are seldom so straight forward” would not, I’d hope, be acceptable to anyone involved.

  I don’t expect perfection, but I do expect companies and employees (even gig employees) to fulfill the basic promises they make about what their service consists of. Surely not too much to ask?

  Inflation and low wages are caused by people asking door-to-door delivery drivers to actually deliver door-to-door? Guess I’ll go save the economy by hopping out my taxi before they actually get to the airport then to save those folks some time and gas and tamp down that leaky inflation!

  I really hope app-based 3rd party food delivery just dies soon. The incentives are so fucked up and at cross purposes between the customers, companies, restaurants, and drivers. Like literally no one is getting a good deal out of it except the app itself.
