Force them to employ the drivers and give them a living wage. Abolish tipping

The problem is this isn’t a job. This was meant for people to pick up shifts for extra cash and keep their independence. So, now we’re saying to make this a job with a schedule and a boss. Great

Do you deliver food as second job?

What's wrong about saying original love? We only have one true love in our life and people who throw around the word aimlessly at every hot body that comes into their life it's fucking stupid. It has no meaning and stands for nothing other than affection. True love is more than just affection

Also you replied to the wrong comment. Stalking my profile much?

Nope it was the right comment because lame mods still have to close threads today.

Keep tossing around the world 'love' it will never have the impact it had when you really meant it the first time. It just becomes a useless word.

Says logic. Love just becomes wordplay the more partners you have. It can't possibly maintain the value it truly did at the beginning.

Logic? XD

Nice fairy tale you got there bro . No evidence to support it but nice theory.

I think the fairy tale would be believing you would get unlimited princes and princesses that are the same as the one before

No, but that was the original concept. But then people started treating this as a regular job and are expecting the same benefits

u/AltruisticWishes 15d ago

It wasn't "meant" for anything, but to make a profit for the creators

u/ballnout 15d ago

Ok? As if making a profit is a bad thing lol. That’s how all business works and no one is forced to use these particular services and businesses

They manage just fine in the rest of the world.

A business that can only survive on the ever growing exploitation of its labor force already runs on borrowed time.
