They should of did this a long time ago when the gas prices went up.
Is it like this in Boston too?
If i’m getting payed by the hr then i’m taking my time. Stopping at all red lights. Be prepared to wait longer for your order
What a JOKE
If they want tips that bad they can strip.
Get rid of taxes to lower prices and increase pay
Sound like a step in the right direction and they deserve it.. Sure that’s gonna mean even more ridiculously overpriced food
Watch them go out of business.
finally!!
High stress job? Like an air traffic controller?
"Inctivcised" to stay at the bottom, not seek higher education or better employment?
Why does my food costs so much? Hmmmm cant figure it out?
I love how the answer is always “increase the minimum wage” and NOT “hey let’s stop stealing so much of people’s money through taxation.” 🤦♂️
and thats good, most areas that employees have constant work, should be applied
I must be a chump, working for $12 an hour, just handling equipment, 18 wheelers….
NOONE calls them "deliveristas"
They don't deserve it!! They take do damn long to deliver my food. This pisses me off!! Obviously they are Biden Supporters who passed this B.S.
It's a step in the right direction for food delivery workers. My friend and I spent some time doing Door Dash during the pandemic, when he lost his old job due to cutbacks and health issues. We kept fairly busy but at the same time, spent a LOT of time waiting for calls to come in, so paying them for that time when they're on shift for DoorDash (if you want to call it a shift) makes perfect sense. As for the wheelchair access on planes, I honestly don't understand why they never thought of this before. I am disabled, I can't walk very long distances, and usually need a wheelchair in airports. I've seen others having to accommodate wheelchair users and it is very difficult, especially for those who literally can't walk (worse spinal issues than mine, amputees, etc.) These are both positive developments. Now watch anti-progressives try to shut them down.
Gig workers don’t deserve to be paid while waiting around, they aren’t working.
All you clowns doing is making a degree worthless
Also New York City cost of living is outrageous as well.
just think this job only is around because people are lazy
lol 😂 that slavery minimum wage
Why it said minimum. They finna increase food and rent .And other things too keep u the same
I make 250 to 300 daily delivering food
Someone's finally waking up and figuring out how to undercut Big Tech. Faith in the US, restored.
I'll definitely say that this makes sense. Delivering in dense cities means that it can take longer to drop off your order, including the time it takes to park and then get to the destination (apartment/condo/suite/office/etc.), at least if you're driving a car. I'd think it might be possible to do deliveries on foot in parts of NYC (Manhattan), though.
The delivery process definitely takes less time in single-family neighborhoods, as long as traffic isn't a problem. I typically average $20-$25 an hour in Fort Worth, TX, but that's not always the case when I get a lot of lower-paying orders or when orders are slow.
Tipping shouldn't be forced. Stop making employees expect tips
Good. Now for the waiters
Make sure to force the price up so that no one uses it and they all become unemployed…
Yes Let's Go, Congrats to them 👏😀❤
The amount of emphasis this dude is putting on "guys" being men is cringe 😂
About time.
