The thing I find offensive is people defending a group of workers that do not have to work as a gig worker. I think most people would consider 4.9 service as nothing special and just the due course of delivering food, on time, not opening and eating my food, putting it somewhere accessible. We are not talking about a 3 start dining experience. If they are not making enough money to provide the minimum level of service for delivering food then they should do something else. That is the problem with gig work though. A lot of it is self-filtering, I will see people doing deliveries/uber rides in high-value vehicles or massive gas guzzlers like trucks. A rational actor would realize this is probably below minimum wage when you account for all the extra costs which leaves you with the rest of the pool of potential gig workers that are not doing the math.
