These companies are so reliant on a zero-interest-rate market and the increasing prices are bringing this reality home in a big way. On Friday, I went to UberEats to do basic takeout for 2 in a reasonable cost of living area, and it was $50 total for basic takeout, nothing fancy. In that situation, the company then expects us to tip knowing that we’re already at the upper limit of what’s considered appropriate pricing for this service. Of course the drivers are gonna get shafted. The system was intentionally designed to make them as powerless as possible, as evidenced by the fact that these same companies had the gall to garnish tips from the drivers and then pretend like it was some misunderstanding. Anyone who’s written commercial software knows that this is BS.
