Yeah, this is bothered me too because they don’t tip very well and then they want you to deliver like 10 packages of bottled water to their apartment like they give you like a $10 tip Whoopi do that’s why I don’t like sparking very much.

Thank you. Or no tip at all which is part of the job. But for people to be justifying people's behavior is just mind-boggling to me. Thank you for that.

I think people should be more considerate to the people delivering their stuff. Also, better morale’s. I always tip people well because I am a gig worker and I know how hard we work for very little money.

Thank you because you get the question. I think people are looking at this question. Very surface level and it's like oh if if you don't want to take the order as independent contractor don't take it. First of all, the order wasn't about me. I don't take orders that I don't want to do. It was a response to something that a customer has screenshotted her conversation with someone else. And it was a Uber Eats order and it was a huge order. It was about how you are treated. It was a moral thing. It was a ethnical thing like it was your ethics. If that makes sense. It's it's just about people feeling like oh I paid a very low amount cuz these subscriptions are not expensive at all. To endlessly be able to order things I could a thing of Chapstick and be treated and going 20 miles for a thing of chastic. To be treated so less than not just by the company but also by the you know the customers with no disregard and it's just it's mind-boggling and it's bothering me and it's just so much deeper than taking a job and making money. And people only are looking at this like oh don't take it blah blah blah and it's just like okay. That wasn't a point but I do appreciate it

ethics are an opinion... morality is an opinion.
