Great article from the 'Stache. It seems like the people who benefit most from driving are those that lack the necessary documentation to get a "real job" - i.e. immigrants. If that's the target audience for Uber and Lyft's "clients" (because they are _not_ employees, right?), well, I find that somewhat immoral. I dunno. When I was between jobs I worked Postmates and Caviar (and Amazon Flex, until I was "fired by an algorithm" (no joke!) to make rent, and it was a modest success. I only ended up using the platforms for 2-3 months max, and starting off, I really enjoyed being the delivery driver and offering excellent customer service. I would go out of my way to ensure I grabbed extra napkins, utensils, sauces, etc. to go the extra mile, and when the tip reflected that, I was elated - the lizard parts of my brain that respond to video game achievements lit up - and I mentally competed myself to be better, faster, and more efficient. And this part of the brain, like the gambler's, forgets the bad times and cherishes only the good times. But I won't forget having to pace around in a pitch-black cul-de-sac, looking for a mysterious stranger who won't answer their phone, thinking that five minutes more, and these Greek fries are mine until...a college kid came out with a disposition reflecting both "hey bro" and "sorry bro" and we did the awkward exchange of "here's your food" and "here's me thanking you for it". Now I have a boring office job, and I tend to cook for myself.
