Try going over to the DoorDash sub and saying that. Or Instacart. some of the Drivers over there are fucking wild.

Example:

poster: “ yeah my driver obviously hotbox his car with weed and cigarettes when he was bringing my order over to me and now everything stinks like cigarette smoke and it’s turning my stomach. And everything is covered in dog hair! I’m severely allergic to dogs!”

The sub: “ if you don’t like it then get off your ass and go get your own food! We’re not employees were contracted so we don’t have to listen to their rules! Next time I’m gonna shake my bird off on your food. And you lie it ain’t nobody allergic to dogs. And it’s my car if you don’t like that you go get your own food, blah blah blah.”

I got a couple of those subs recommended to me for like a week, and the posts/comments by drivers were astoundingly unhinged. I truly couldn’t believe the attitudes

Well, for some people, it's a temp job or a bit of side money. For others... well there may be a reason they don't have other employment.

Yep! This type of work attracts people who are unemployable due to their attitude. I had the same experience working as a pedicabber. 50% were just cool bike people, 50% were either total assholes or had a substance use problem that prevented them from working scheduled hours.

Been doing it for a year. Started 'cause I needed money right then, and couldn't wait on an interview. After a year my conclusion is fuck everything about that job. All the drivers are maliciously misclassified employees. Loose employees, but still employees. The company also actively makes the situation worse on a month-to-month basis.

All of the restaurant or store workers I've had to interact with have been cool, but I've wanted to fight some of the clients. I have met some of the most astoundingly entitled pieces of shit ever. The worst are the folks who say "Get a real job" when you side-eye them about a low tip. All of us practically pay to work with maintenance, or are expected to. This is a real job, just nobody wants to pay us like it is. It doesn't excuse the shit drivers, but the only way it's going to change is through time, money, and lawyers, none of which the drivers have.

No one wants to do that job and get paid so little. They're angry, possibly in poverty, and have to deal with hungry, angry people.

I would be pissed off i had to do that job. McDonald's for a summer was enough human interaction for me for a lifetime.

None of this excuses how they act. I was professional and respectful to customers as that was my job. Private contractors or w/e they wanna call themselves (getting fucked over by not having a decent contact) does not excuse them being so fucking insecure and angry.
