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?

    -People who have a record in the legal system (i.e. convicted of a criminal charge) and can’t pass background checks

    -People who may not have work authorization in the country

    -Account under real name was banned (some might be legitimate bans, some might be unjustified bans)

    What I really don’t get is people delivering with someone else (also an adult) in the vehicle, like that seems like their SO, so why don’t they just do their own separate gig so they get double income?

      If you could spend the boring part of your job chatting with friends, would you decline?
