Valentine's day was probably a bad day to go on strike.
So many couples went out for dinner, the effects from striking delivery workers was probably minimized a bit at least.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoYou're making a lot of assumptions and/or generalisations there, because plenty of people would prefer a quiet night in.
- Magi604 3y agoI drive Uber (non-food delivery) weeknight evenings and it was super busy shuttling couples to and from restaurants, easily the busiest night of the year. That was what I was basing my comment on. Maybe there's enough couples out there where we can both be right?

- Magi604 3y agoInteresting, I as a non-food delivery Uber driver was super busy all night shuttling couples to and from restaurants. Biggest night of the year thus far. Keep in mind maybe you were so busy because your fellow delivery drivers were striking and you just picked up their slack.
- buggeryorkshire 3y agoI left the company last April, but was there 5 years. It is definitely one of the busiest days on the calendar, along with New Year's Day, in the UK anyway.
- fakedang 3y agoI think that's a really good point, even if unintentional. You're not inconveniencing most of the end users, but you're definitely inconveniencing the delivery apps who might have been counting on some uptick due to the celebration.
