I feel like half the time when I’ve ordered from a delivery app, the photo of the person delivering does not match who ends up handing over my food. Like, completely different gender or race. Why is this? I assume people are delivering under the account of someone they know, but why?

    Those apps often ban drivers for arbitrary reasons and it’s near impossible to appeal. So many people will buy accounts or use friends/family to make an account.

        Bad driving, good driving, too much shit in food, too little shit in food, Tuesday, etc. make something up and I’m sure someone has been banned for it.

        Because they work a shit job for a shit company and get treated like shit. Getting randomly fired is par for the course.

        Something as stupid as a customer who orders nonstop and reports every order as fucked up or missing can get them in trouble and fired.

        The entire thing is a scam for everyone involved.

        This is like content matching on YouTube or Twitch. It can be wrong but what are you going to do about it?
