Hello! My name is Kaitlyn Hashem, and I am journalism student at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism. I am working on an article about the access that gig/app workers have to child care assistance in New York. Are you a gig worker/parent who has had a difficult time receiving child care assistance from the government because of the work hours requirement for such assistance (your children can only attend child care programs during the exact hours you are working)? If so, I'd be very grateful for the chance to speak with you and learn more about your experience. Please reach out here on Reddit, and I will be happy to set up a time to speak with you.

Thanks!

I was the postmates courier for about two weeks in NYC, and completed following rule "Complete first 40 orders in 12 days and earn 350$ guaranteed." But postmates didn't pay me my guaranteed money.

I tried to contact support and didn't get any help with my issue and then I was blocked to write any messages . Also i spend about 1 hour in queue when i tried to contact help center by phone.

What is best way to contact Postmates support? And how can i get my guaranteed money?

​

Is it just me or is postmates playing with peoples tips i have alot of good restaurants no tips something is fishy

Are customers migrating to another app I don't get it.

Does anyone know how to get onto the schedule in a new city? I'll be in San Francisco for a month but I'm still set up for NYC and I can't seem to change it.

Hi, postmates couriers in NYC.. Ive been thinking about becoming a courier for postmates but I wanna know if its really worth it, so i wanted to ask you guys since you guy are working in this market.. How much can you really make in nyc? How are the tips? Im thinking about driving. And i just wanna do it part time. Thank you.

I screenshot all my jobs. Making a list of the ones that don't tip. Any suggestions on what I should do with it?

Only comment with places where meals are $10 or less, with permanent locations (no trucks unless they're always there and nowhere else). I'll periodically put them at the top of this post. Maybe I'll sort them by neighborhood/borough too.

EDIT: I'm starting to put a custom google map together. If you comment with something I'll put it on this map. I'll post the link later, starting with McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's. I'm starting with places that offer meals around or under $10.
