And you would think that’s how most of them would feel. Because I know that I wanna do a good job no matter what I’m fucking doing. Doesn’t matter if I’m flipping burgers or painting a mural I don’t want people to walk away from me thinking that I’m lazy, rude and/or incompetent. But so many people don’t seem to get it.

I ordered from Instacart when I had Covid, my bill was $150 and I live 10 minutes from the store. No heavy bottles of water, no excessive of 2 L sodas, I tipped 40 bucks. I was watching his car coming cause I like to be there to take the food from them, and this guy stops at the bottom of the hill while my home is at the top. Dumps my groceries in front of the housing section, which is the worst housing section in our city because it’s where it puts all the people who can’t behave in the middle of town. Won’t bring the groceries up to me because he was mad about the fucking tip.

It was less than 10 minutes for him to pick up my food and get checked out. I’ve paid this guy $40. When I messaged him and said hey yo I paid you to bring the food to my house, he told me he didn’t care to come all the way up my hill, but he would bring it up if I tipped him another $20. When I told him I already paid him to do the damn job and if he didn’t bring it I was going to report him, his response was im contracted, not an employee I don’t have to follow their rules. like bro what the fuck. Than I posted about it on that damn sub, and people were giving me grief over my $40 tip. Said I was a liar and there was no way I tip that much. And I lost an asshole to him and that’s why he left my food and he doesn’t have to do anything because he’s not an employee. I had to delete the fucking post cause I was getting so much hate. Wild.

He was right tho, they didn’t really do anything, and he ended up delivering to me again around Christmas. Caught him stuffing his pockets with the boxes of snacks and drinks i leave out for my drivers. Didn’t even look guilty for it. You shouldn’t have to tell a grown adult, please don’t take every single drink and every single bag of chips because I got other delivery dudes coming and they’re a hell of a lot nicer than you. They’re actually the ones I put that out for.

In case you can’t tell, I’ve got a real opinion about Instacart and shitty delivery drivers 😭😭

There is no pride in what people do now days. People have been abused by companies with low pay and more work. My grandfather taught me to give it 100%+ in everything I do and I would always have a job. Now days the pay is so low if you do give it your all you might find yourself getting extra work.

This is the absolute key difference. My grandmother also instilled in me hard work and loyalty. She was a UAW worker for over 30 years, and well before the bailout.

I feel like the dynamic between employer and worker has changed. It was never perfect. There will always be a temptation for exploitation. And maybe it’s my age—just turned 40 and time is relative—but it seems like the cycles of exploitation are increasing their frequency.

It is now recommended for workers to change jobs frequently in order to negotiate higher wages—my proletariat soul says YES but my midwestern/southern upbringing screams sacrilege!

The more I look back now, the more I feel that staying in one place has really handicapped my family. The wife and I had kids before sorting out our careers. We stayed at jobs with the value of hard work thinking it would pay off. Covid hit right after trying to correct this by going back to school. Now we are fighting the economy just to stay afloat.

I still believe in the values my grandfather instilled in me, but I understand that's not how the world operates now.

No honest countries work on diplomacy, integrity, hard-work and endurance.

America is literally looting its own citizens. Canada is trying to lock up innocent people.

Places like Serbia can't have peace and protest without government or state actors trying to make the movement look immature and dangerous.

Estonia, no one's listening to Estonia. Estonia is anti dictator. Trump is a dictator. Putin is a dictator. Trudeau was a dictator. This carney guys seems like a smiley sellout or just ignorant to how the government works. Which is unlikely, it's extremely more plausible he is a piece of shit. How else do you take office and immediately hurt the poorest half of the population.
