No one here treated the gig worker like shit. He got a higher than average tip, he wasn't satisfied with it, lashed out at someone who did nothing wrong, and then he had to face the consequences of his own actions. It doesn't matter if he was having a bad day, it doesn't matter what happened before this.
I would fucking hope this is controversial. The very idea of tipping before I get my food is already ridiculous, and I've had to contact doordash multiple times to lower or remove my tip when I've received food in unacceptable conditions (as if the driver had tossed the bag around in his car). There is no way in hell I'm going to be paying over a quarter the price of my food on delivery.
Gotta keep the servants in line. Got it.
Everyone who makes more money than me is the wealthy and the problem: a child's guide to class consciousness.
Are you trying to pretend the power relations were in favour of the driver here?
Get a grip.
You hyperfocus on the fact that the homeowner likely makes more money than the driver, therefore absolving the driver of any and all responsibility. Take a step back, maybe pull your head just a little bit out of your own ass, and realize that all the driver had to do to not get fired is literally just not swear at the fucking customer
I have never said the driver behaved well. Only that the customer behaved much worse.
Lmao. People like this exist in real life, apparently. Are you a human personification of the "Well I'm sure the guy who stole my bike needed it more" meme.
Dude, you are way too focused on who did the thing (or rather, how much money they had) than what actually happened. You're missing the forest for the trees.
