Why? Because the customer waits longer for their food to be picked up and delivered, as well as the delivery worker being paid critically low, sometimes just $3 for trips going 2+ miles in any state of weather. In the end, you’re getting $5, regardless of how long you had to wait at the restaurant or how far you had to travel! Bottom line, people would get their food faster if delivery workers would be paid a consistent, reliable wage because it would reduce the competition to choose certain deliveries over others, which is why the current system creates a plethora of unsustainability issues, leading deliveries that include a tip to be delivered first, which leaves the deliveries that do not include a tip to be delivered last, which is a lose-lose situation for both the customer and the delivery worker. Imagine being told you’d be paid $15 for a delivery which includes a $10 tip only for the customer to revoke the tip when you’re on your way to drop it off. On UberEats, customers have the ability to revoke a delivery worker’s tip in the app when they’re enroute to drop off the customer’s food, which is wage theft and should be considered illegal. This job comes with zero protections, absolutely no paid time off under any circumstances, regardless if you’re sick or not and are not able to work to fully recover. That’s $7 per hour, and in NYC not even a single person can support themselves on such a meager income.

Trying to engage in full-time employment with these companies is extremely difficult, as many people work a full 8-hour shift or longer to obtain a measly $50. Anyone who claims to routinely generate $15+ per hour everyday is completely undermining the truth when it comes to the way these companies pay their delivery workers. After engaging in work for all three of the mentioned companies for awhile now, I can say with complete confidence that NOBODY is consistently making a wage utilizing these apps. These companies routinely exploit people that work for them chronically paying them a grossly inconsistent, lackluster wage that, is impossible to rely on. The companies DoorDash, GrubHub, and UberEats need to be held accountable for how they inappropriately compensate the individuals that work for them.
