My one daughter does a couple of the ones that delivery groceries and such. They rely mostly on tips to actually make any money. Sometimes people can be complete a'holes and give her no tip or like $1 or 2 and even when she is on time and everything is perfect.

You get all the free food you want. A friend of mine ordered from Door Dash and the person driving actually drank half their coke from the bottle and had the balls to deliver it half empty. They called the restaurant and they just told him that it happens from time to time. WTF is that!?!?! I literally don't believe this.

Why the hell would I make that up?

I use Door Dash way to much; lol. One of my friends who I was a Correction Officer with; he's been making great money at it. He's planning on leaving Corrections; once he brings his family from Afghanistan here; he wants to split his time between doordash-and being a Uber driver he mentioned. Heavily considering doing it as hustle; if things don't work out for me.

I mean, stories of drivers sampling the food are pretty damn common. I've never had it happen to me, nor did I ever sample anyone's anything when delivering. (Though occasionally I did place a quick order myself when picking up from a fast food restaurant. It didn't add time to the delivery, since I only did it if they didn't have my skip order ready yet). I know at least locally, places now seal their delivery bags to prevent this from happening. McD's even seals the drinks inside a bigger delivery bag so the drivers can't drink them either. That way if the seal is tampered with, it's on Skip/Door Dash, etc, and not the restaurants, who are already operating under razor-thin margins for these services. (They get exploited haaaaaaard).

I live in a town of less than 8,000 people. Uber, DoorDash, GrubHub, Skip the Dishes do not exist here. Oh you're hungry for take out and it's past 10pm? You're going to starve. I called a pizza place at 8pm one night recently. Asked for delivery. Their answer was "we don't offer delivery sir" and then a hang up. Small town life can suck sometimes. The worst. I called a small pizza place I actually worked at, at 8PM one night for a delivery, and was told they were closed for delivery. When we closed at 12 on the weekends. So the guy that was supposed to be there just bailed and left early.

Indepedent contractors R Us. Although it looks likely to change now. As they move to employee status under Biden. Not going with Canada's 'dependent contractor' model.

I never worked for those places but I worked in Safety&Security for Hershepark and always felt bad for the people working for Uber on Concert nights having to deal with drunk\high people arguing price and what not.No thanks....
