On some of those late nights, especially when I picked up Indian food, I'd be hungry enough to genuinely consider this

Gig delivery is a rotten model to its core. You are better off learning to cook, driving or walking to pick up your food, or calling the business directly if they have their own drivers. Its hard I know, but so is paying an extra tax on every item, plus service fees, just to have an app do it

    What if you're in a wheelchair and the restaurant doesn't have drivers?

    It goes from "hard" to "absolutely impossible"

    Yeah I will concede that handicapped individuals benefit the most from the availability of drivers, but like...the drivers need everyone else to be on board to make a living wage and that doesnt make any sense. Better public transit and assistance programs are a better investment than lining Ubers pockets

    Such a person is more likely also dealing with poverty. Do you really think disabled people have the luxury of counting on restaurant food three meals a day?

    restaurants don't produce food. they produce addictive, calorific entertainment products that are genuinely not intended to be consumed all day everyday because you will die.
