Topic	so do delivery drivers not get paid?
CE_gonna_CE 02/09/24 12:57:51 PM #9:	FurryPhilosifer posted... "If you can't afford to tip don't get food delivered". Isn't that what the delivery fee is for?? The delivery fee is paid to the company, not the driver. Giant_Aspirin posted... it depends on the platform, but my understanding is that they only get like $2 or something per delivery, so the only real incentive to be a driver is for the tips. the companies get away with this bullshit because the drivers "are not employees" and we, as a society, have just accepted that monumental level of bullshit as okay. This is also correct. Base pay on DD and Uber deliveries can get as low as $2, so its often not worth the time or gas to even take orders that are that low. It really should be renamed as a bid since thats actually what it is, not a tip. But as long as these shitty companies and are publicly traded, theyll keep on doing whatever they can to push the burden of every possible dollar down to customers and away from their own stockpile. --- "Creed made better Pearl Jam music than Pearl Jam did" - shockthemonkey <cite>CE_gonna_CE posted [p:978748002] in so do deli...
