A hidden consequence of the gig economy is that workers keep asking customers for sex or dates::“People have the right to order a pizza … without then being asked for sex or a date.”

      Gig economy means a bunch of randos get your contact information instead of long term employees who receive proper training and management.

        Are you saying that traditional food delivery drivers get trained specifically not to hit on people when they deliver food? I don’t have any data but I feel like that’s not really a thing. Maybe my concept of the training a food delivery driver gets is way off the mark?

        I’m also pretty sure that it’s easier to give a bad review that others will see via one of these food delivery apps than it is if you go directly to the business.

        I think we all agree that this is inappropriate and should not be happening, I just don’t see how it doesn’t apply at least equally to traditional delivery drivers.

            I’ve delivered pizzas from 4 different locations and none of them had any training about what to do and not do with customers. The most training I had was when I was supposed to take orders over the phone and enter them into the computer system. The others were just “here’s where the pending delivery tickets will be and here’s where they’ll be when they are ready”.

            Hey, I was up front about my data (or lack thereof) and we’re not talking about climate change or string theory, we’re talking about fast food delivery driver’s onboarding.

            “The Internet” would just state it like a fact.
