If this is wrong I don’t wanna be right

Wait, so do you yell at garden plants when they aren’t growing fast enough?

No I take the weakest one for a tour around the apartment to say goodbye to his friends, then I come back with an empty pot.

I’ve never really wanted some random person to bring me fast food for 40% more plus a tip.

I’d be ok with a random person bringing me a regular restaurant’s food for about 10% more plus tip

I suppose. I don’t really approve of the way drivers are “hired”, vetted or paid by these companies, though.

Neither do we, but money is money.

I don’t fault anyone for driving for them. If the company was actually responsible and hired employees like a normal company and paid them that would resolve most of the issues. As it is the bad drivers and the pressure to deliver while not being paid that much causes problems for everyone.

Well I can say it varies from company to company. Doordash is the worst. I consider it the McDonalds of delivery services as far as the way they treat employees. I left there making less than $10 an hour.

Grubhub has treated me the best so far. They pay mostly fairly even without tips. Had to wait 6 months to get accepted by them though.

My biggest gripe is being 1099.

I will say that when I was working for Doordash they sent out a very fucked up, threatening survey. It was around the time the government started looking at them more so they were asking questions like 'If the laws change, would you be willing to work a schedule and have a boss?". The whole survey was a bunch of loaded questions and bullshit in that nature.

I do love the work. Honestly. I just wish it wasn't so hard on my car. :(

They used that survey for their bullshit “drivers LIKE being 1099” ads

I knew someone that delivered for Doordash. They proudly shared that they would tamper with and eat the delivery food, song with other scumbag crap they would do. This person was an all-around POS. Since then, I never order Doordash anymore.

@squiblet@kbin.social avatar

Yep, a lot of stories like that out there…

candyman337 ,

I do agree with that, they don’t even have to put in their real name for deliveries!

Ah, and now this account posts a door dash advertisement.

An effective way to stay poor is to spend your money on expensive, greasy, salty food that will send you to an early grave.

Mr_Blott ,

Picard Maneuver - posts hundreds of memes for no other reason than to provide content for fledgling communities and helping Lemmy get off the ground and not appear stale, some of said content clearly having to include the name of a brand as part of the content

Awwwyissss, who has done absolutely fuck all in the way of providing content to help Lemmy retain users - oH MeR GeRD Is tHiS gUy aDveRtIsInG !?!

awwwyissss ,

I don’t need to post to call out BS, and I’ve been an active user for a while now. ThePicardManeuver has repeatedly posted advertisments so I’m calling them out.

ComicalMayhem , (edited )

I just scrolled through their posts. There are way more unbranded memes than there are branded ones. Like a 10 or 15 to 1 ratio, if not more

awwwyissss ,

Yeah that’s how they work. If it was all ads they’d be easy to spot, so they throw in a bunch of reposts to look legit and build karma.

CheesyFox ,

Take your pills dude

Hey, thanks for sticking up for me back here, friend. I had thought this person was joking and moved on, so I didn’t see this thread the other day.

I only scrolled back tonight because the same person showed up under a different post accusing me of being paid by oreos or something now, and I remembered this one. Weird.

GCostanzaStepOnMe ,

I fucking love spending a 100% upcharge on terrible food delivered by some nameless poor person who can’t afford the hospital bill for getting hit by an SUV later this evening.

I will NEVER figure out how my kitchen stove works.
