I believe it. They were probably banned by sight without knowing their name.

Why is the government, at any level, attempting to run private businesses? The very same governments that are completely incapable of running, you know, government.
Didn’t NYC go bankrupt at one point (1977)? How much debt do they currently have? How much unfunded pensions and liabilities do they have?
Insane. The inmates who believe they are capable of running the asylum.
Don’t ANY of these people take Economics 101?
This is wacky socialist stuff. It’s one thing to set a minimum wage. But now NYC is trying to set wages for a specific job category.
Why stop there, NYC? Why not just set wages for every job category? Dentists, janitors, landscapers, etc.
Perhaps they could use an old wage scale list from Stalin’s USSR, and update it for inflation. Yes, that would save time.
So I went into the app for the local pizza joint and ordered one. Would have cost $24 if I chose to have it delivered and would have been obliged to tip on top of that.
Instead, I drove a few miles to pick it up myself and paid $17.
Why not $1000?
It’s like waitressing. If you listen to actual waiters, not politicians claiming to represent waiters, they will tell you they prefer the tip system. Good waiters make excellent money for what they do.
I have a very blunt question for you, how much of a tip to you expect for a delivery? This is just a curiosity question, not a debate starter.
Rule of thumb is $1.00 per mile, but Dasher’s really appreciate it when we get $2.00 (a dollar a mile for coming and going). We return to the restaurant areas after a drop-off, and that is usually lost mileage, gas, etc. Good question!
I do. I love cooking. And I’m pretty dang good. Ask my wife. We use DD when we’re on the road but usually look for a Cracker Barrel first.
And good waiters really do deserve the tips. I always make sure to tip my waiters and waitresses well. I even tip at places like Dunkin’ if they have a tip jar showing.
I believe it. They were probably banned by sight without knowing their name.
You were wise. I know I’m shooting myself in the foot here, but I figure if I can Dash 5 hours a day, the clients can jump in their car, drive ten minutes, and pick up their own food. But...maybe I shouldn’t say that too loudly, LOL! I have one regular client who pays a lot just to get two cups of soda from Chik Fil A every day. Another who only orders two cups of coffee in cups from Dunkin. Want to guess how much they’re paying? You wouldn’t believe it.
The clients I enjoy most delivering to are the moms who can’t get out because they have small kids, the obvious disabled (ramps), and people who are working and can’t get away from their desks.
Between car expenses and taxes I broke even
Government determining private pay rates, for pizza delivery no less. What could go wrong?
I broke even, too.
Minimum Wage:
1. Not what I have to pay you, it is ALL I have to pay you.
2. All jobs worth less are prohibited.
I’m sorry, folks, I didn’t intend to steal the thread and make it a Door Dash theme!
Does sound like a fun job to do for a few hours a day.
Why is the city setting pay rates for a private business?
