> it's not very difficult, not physically straining eh ... I've never been a driver, but I kinda doubt this right now. A Chicago driver just ran over this women: https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2020/5/16/21261241/ms-ts-fried-chicken-grubhub-hit-and-run-delivery-driver-chicago https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2020/5/16/21261241/ms-ts-... We don't know the full story as the video starts with her blocking his car. He shouldn't have run her over obviously. There's no excuse for that. But if he's operating on very small margins, he may have been frustrated they were moving slowly. He allegedly kicked their door, they wouldn't let him in, and then he was just going to dive off. They then blocked his car waiting for the police. The guy turned himself in, so if we give him the benefit of the doubt, it might have been stress rage. He's probably going to serve several months for assault. People are on edge right now. A lot of companies are profiting and also screwing everyone over they can. You can be a delivery driver, but be aware it might be a very short term gain, and may not cover the cost of maintenance/operation of your vehicle in the long term.

Or, some people are just assholes. I find it very odd to read a comment here basically defending the driver - they were obviously going to call the police as soon as you started committing property damage to their store.

  I'm not defending the driver. We also don't know what the 'property damage' was ... maybe he just kicked the door in frustration. He should go to jail, but the underlying thing I'm getting at is that EVERYONE IS ON EDGE. This whole thing has made humanity more scared and dumb than anything. People are worried about their jobs, paying bills, etc. I don't think what this drive did was right, but there is a whole context being lost as to what led to this point.

This seems like the very definition of play stupid games, win stupid prizes... Obviously I have zero capability to make a morality judgement here. But I do know that the 2-ton hunk of metal with hundreds of horsepower and foot-pounds of torque is going to win that physical fight every day. Just take the damn license plate number, get out physically unscathed, and let the police do their job.
