Thoughts on government oversight when it comes to regulating Uber, Lyft, Instacart and mandatory tipping here in America.. what do you think?

[FranklinRoosevelt_FTW]

It's an easy fix, just take a photo when the food is delivered and exactly who received it. As for tipping, not so much. These folks are paid to make deliveries, a tip is for going above what's required by the job.

Now for the video you posted, the gal should have been fired for confronting a customer the way she did. She should have just contacted the drug stores corporate HQ and requested the surveillance tape for that timeframe.

Thanks for a well mannered informative post. Thanks for a post without personal attacks and I enjoy having a conversation.

To your point here’s the thing that folks who do not work in the gig economy know my good friend. Even when there’s video evidence like there’s been Uber drivers who have a camera in their car 24 7 and then all of a sudden they get fired for no reason they say hang on a second I have a video evidence to show you guys, Uber doesn’t care about it they won’t even watch the video.

There are also examples of win DoorDash delivery drivers take a photo of the food they delivered, and they still get a contract violation due to circumstances beyond their control like the customer got the wrong food from the restaurant. And you should understand that restaurants sealed food in bags, and the driver can’t see what’s in the bag. So there has to be protection against this kind of thing. . This is a America. This is not a third world country although with the Democrats and their neocon Ally’s they’re trying to turn it into a third world country.

Tipping is expected anywhere in the service industry in America. And those who go “above and beyond” usually get extra tips.

That’s how these people live like for example, waiters and waitresses don’t make a minimum wage so they have to get tipped by the customer. This is an American value in American tradition. Like take for example a valet person, or a maid at a hotel or a barber. They all have to be tipped. It’s the same thing with a pizza delivery person. It’s customary in America to tip the pizza delivery guy not for going above and beyond but for them doing their job on time.

I mean, I agree with you totally if a pizza delivery person, a waiter , a valet is extremely rude and dirty or what not then they don’t deserve a tip.

As for the lady who was fired from Door Dash. God bless her for confronting that thief. That CVS manager is a thief she committed fraud. There’s actually tons of videos on YouTube showing her getting delivered the food. She then lied about not getting the food that is literally fraud. CVS later fired that manager.

I don’t know if the Door Dash worker was rehired, but I think there was a go fund me for her, and she got some money for it from fellow Americans.

you can make the argument that she shouldn’t confront the manager, but I wholeheartedly agree with her and admire her for confronting the thief.

Here’s an issue for Democrats to champion. Like they used to Champion, the cause of the workingman, and now they’re all about race, division, waive the little BLM flag wave the flag of Ukraine, and support nazis in ukraine. How despicable that is.

Where’s AOC on this? Right She’s busy calling white people racists in America while supporting nazis and ukraine.

Who will stand up for the working person in this country who is getting treated like trash

The gig economy is just another way for corporations to abuse the worker relationship. This is what they did in California when democratic voters supported protecting the workers which was overturned by a judge then reinstated.

California’s gig worker-focused Prop 22 isn’t overturned after all

A 2021 decision declared it unconstitutional, but it’s been overturned.

Now the FTC, under Biden, is getting involved. The gig economy evolved faster than protections.

Amazon’s business depends on deliveries. Deliveries, in turn, require drivers. In 2015, Amazon piloted a new model: paying drivers per gig to use their...

As far a tipping. The word tipping is voluntary. Service or Deliver Fee is the term for mandatory charge. Just use the right terms so the customer isnt misled.

Delivery drivers are literally heroes that deserve $100 per hour for their skilled labor, if not more.

They are crucial to the continuation of civilization as we know it.

Indeed, they surround us and bind the galaxy together.

Jokes aside just looking at the sack she toted away what in there could be worth more than a $8.00 tip?

We'll have to agree to disagree. A barber that charges $20.00 or more for 10-15 minutes work deserves no tip. I go to a cut rate shop that charges $5.00, I always give them a tip and they do a better job than the $20.00 guys and gals. A waiter/waitress has a 20% tip when I walk in the door, then it's up to them to keep it. If they bring my order and it was gotten wrong by the kitchen, it's an automatic zero tip. It's their job to make sure the cook gets it right, if not make them prepare it again. But an order the kitchen screws up should never make it to the table.

I don't do any of the gig crap and no one deliver pizzas to my subdivision.

OK first and foremost my brothers and sisters think about your fellow American. Think about the Mom we had to work three jobs including in the gig economy, to support her kids because we’re talking about a deadbeat dad he’s not around the house. Many mothers across the country are doing these jobs and some of them have been fired due to a false complaint. Look at this horror story here. including in the gig economy look at this horror story… this Walgreens employee a manager actually falsely reported not getting her food in order to get a free meal. This resulted in the woman getting deactivated from Door Dash.



that right there is why we need government government oversight on this. Because that’s a horror story ….and if we don’t care about our fellow American than what do we even care about ???

I think that this would apply more to gig jobs like Uber, DoorDash, GrubHub, Instacart. Compared to say actual real live waiters and waitresses at a restaurant. And I say that simply because you can see if you’re getting treated like crap by a waiter or waitress at a restaurant …. It’s literally happening right in front of you.

Personally, I always tip even if the waiter is a piece of you know what.

Before I get into the idea of mandatory tipping, let me provide my own experience as an Uber driver, and the fax to those who have no idea what gig jobs are like or what it’s like to be in this business, and how incredibly different it is for being a waiter or waitress at a restaurant.

if you’re talking about a DoorDash driver or an Uber driver, they pretty much always have to do their job on time or they risk a contract violation. They risk losing their job. And it is much much easier to be fired on a gig job compared to fired as a waiter or waitress at a restaurant and I’ll explain why.

It’s because when you talk about Uber drivers DoorDash drivers, some of these people have been fired due to false complaints by customers. And on Door Dash and Uber the employees don’t even know what their boss looks like. At a restaurant the waiters and waitresses usually have a good relationship with the boss…. even if they don’t, they know what they look like they know what’s going on …I’m sure that there’s a very few exceptions to these rules but they’re pretty much ground in fact. A waiter or waitress that has been at the same restaurant for 10 or 20 years there’s no way they’re getting fired from that job unless they do something crazy. This does not happen with Uber drivers or DoorDash drivers. They could be doing the job for five years perfectly with 20,000 deliveries alls it takes is literally one false complaint and they get fired.

Anybody who has done gig jobs knows exactly what I’m talking about… I actually did 5000 Uber rides as a driver before the Covid virus and some insane black BLM person along with a far left wing white loser from Seattle literally made up a false complaint about me saying I was “driving too fast”… the other false complaint was I was “aggressive or rude to a rider I refused with the BLM lady to let her do whatever the hell she wants ..she wanted to go into a store for 10 minutes ..but they’re not allowed to do that. That’s abuse of the system. There are those on Uber who abuse the system and they make stops if they’re making a stop its supposed to be for literally in and out because you don’t get paid nothing for time it’s all mileage.

Get this, even though I was fired from Uber as a driver they still would let me use their platform as a rider. That’s how corrupt and greedy this trash company Uber is. That’s insane it makes absolutely no sense.

So again, if one is an Uber driver or a Lyft driver, they don’t get paid anything for the time it’s all for the mileage. So those customers who abuse the system and want to make one to even three stops are in the wrong …. It’s not like a taxi cab with a meter keeps running it’s just not like that.


That black BLM lady pulled out a camera and started videotaping me when I confronted her about abusing the system …and I said “oh so you think it’s OK to go into a store not leave a tip take advantage of the system and shop around for 10 minutes” I dared her to put it on YouTube and see how awful she would look.

The white lady from Seattle clearly a progressive leftie was a psychopath. I had to drive her and her grandkid(you feel bad for kids like this who grow up around psychopath lefties) from Buffalo to Niagara Falls and the entire time she’s complaining about me “ driving too fast “…I’m literally going 6 miles over the speed limit. There’s nothing wrong with that most people can go over 10 miles the speed limit.

Not too long after dropping off the white lady from Seattle, I was fired from Uber. And these monsters on Uber fired me for life that’s how sick these folks are. These are the enemies of humanity. The CEO of Uber is a monster and he has done this to countless Americans Black people white people that he’s fired, countless amount of them for literally no good reason …all bc the customers wanted to get a free ride so they make up a false complaint about the driver.



So there’s a little bit of a background, their you can clearly see how Uber drivers and there have been other people who have been DoorDash drivers with 15,000 deliveries ..alls it takes is one false complaint and they get fired. There’s tons and tons of videos on YouTube showing delivery drivers getting deactivated and it’s really a shocking thing that this is allowed to happen in America.


So this is a two-part question. Do you think that the US government should get involved here and step up and make sure that Uber, lift, Door Dash, Postmates, Grubhub, and all the same other gig jobs are not allowed to fire delivery drivers for literally no good reason. ???

When a customer makes up a false complaint and they get somebody fired. Or when a customer says “I never got my food” and they did get the food and they say they did not get the food to get a free order at the expense of the driver, who can get fired for that. …OOH YA you better believe the answer that question for me and practically every single gig worker is yes.

This never happened in the American past because you saw your boss, face-to-face, but with the gig jobs this is a new thing good American people across the country and immigrants as well…. These are good people they get fired due to a false complaint. Our government needs to protect delivery workers in someway, shape or form. They need to do something about this.


Now as for mandatory tipping. on Uber and Lyft, huge percentages of the riders never leave a tip. This includes rich, elite people whether they republican or democrat they don’t leave any tip. Doesn’t matter how good of a driver you are. This is a well-known establish fact tons of videos on YouTube show this. If people can afford to pay the fee for Uber and they are a tip the driver every time. People who don’t tip the writer drivers are inhumane in cruel. They don’t care about their fellow man. It’s one of the worst things to do to not tip.

All of these points are made because it’s vitally important to show folks who have never worked in the gig economy exactly what’s going on here just before they want to talk about government regulation or their thoughts on a company forcing someone to tip it’s really important that they understand the context of this. Some folks may not have even gotten to this paragraph and they’ve already made up their mind that would be wrong on them and that is part of being uninformed.

It will be in to see if some of my fellow Democrats would disagree with me because usually they stand up for the workingman. All those so much of their rhetoric is about race, division of the other nonsense. Let’s see what they have to say about this one, because I expect that Republicans with a pose mandatory tipping and mandatory government regulation, making sure that delivery drivers and ride your drivers are not fired due to a false complaint.

Check this out. Here is how the system is checked. There needs to be a camera in every single rideshare drivers car first off that’s common sense that’s just common sense for safety reasons and that’s also going to show us if the driver actually did something wrong if they did something really bad then yes ….they should get a warning or even fired. So there you go right there that’s how you handle the issue.

Where on earth do they charge $5 for a haircut other than a school training newbies?

 

[Resnic]

Uber or any other "gig job" should have the same stipulations as any other job. You work a job, you get paid, well that's a job. The idea gig jobs are outside of normal jobs is dumb. If you work at McDonald's 2 days a week that's still a job.

Mandatory tipping? Fuck that.

I already pay full price for the meal, why should I have to pay additional money on top of that?

And why do I have to pay a percent of my bill? I order a burger and ice tea and it's say 12 dollars I am expected to pay 15% tip. But if I order a steak and a mixed drink and I am expected to pay 15%. Why the hell do I have to pay more? She still carried 1 plate and 1 glass to my table, it's the exact same amount of effort and time. But because I spend more I have to tip more? Fuck that.

My one exception is my usual Saturday breakfast hangout Ive been going for 30 years. It's small and family owned, they all are friendly and treat me great and know me well. I normally spend like 15 bucks but always give the server 10 and at Christmas I give all the ones working a 20.

 

[Blues Man]

All good brother. Millions of people are employed in the gig economy in America.

And some are being fired, because customers are falsely complaining that they didn’t get their food ..they do it in order to get free food at the expense of the driver.

All the driver has to do is take a picture at the point of delivery. In fact if a driver isn't doing that it's his own fault.

 

[OKTexas]

Where on earth do they charge $5 for a haircut other than a school training newbies?

Nope, a shop I've been going to for years, it was $3.99 when I first started going there. It's on FM 1960 in north Houston.

Tipping is a reward for good service. When I get good service I tip well, when I get average service, I tip 20%, when I get poor service, I tip a penny. That tells the server that I didn't forget to tip, but that their service was sub-standard.

Doesn’t matter how good of a driver you are. This is a well-known establish fact tons of videos on YouTube show this. If people can afford to pay the fee for Uber and they are a tip the driver every time. People who don’t tip the writer drivers are inhumane in cruel. They don’t care about their fellow man. It’s one of the worst things to do to not tip.

All of these points are made because it’s vitally important to show folks who have never worked in the gig economy exactly what’s going on here just before they want to talk about government regulation or their thoughts on a company forcing someone to tip it’s really important that they understand the context of this. Some folks may not have even gotten to this paragraph and they’ve already made up their mind that would be wrong on them and that is part of being uninformed.

It will be in to see if some of my fellow Democrats would disagree with me because usually they stand up for the workingman. All those so much of their rhetoric is about race, division of the other nonsense. Let’s see what they have to say about this one, because I expect that Republicans with a pose mandatory tipping and mandatory government regulation, making sure that delivery drivers and ride your drivers are not fired due to a false complaint.

Check this out. Here is how the system is checked. There needs to be a camera in every single rideshare drivers car first off that’s common sense that’s just common sense for safety reasons and that’s also going to show us if the driver actually did something wrong if they did something really bad then yes ….they should get a warning or even fired. So there you go right there that’s how you handle the issue.

They term "mandatory tip" is an oxymoron.

Can you imagine being trapped in a car with the OP who says he's an UBER driver. Holy crap. I've never jumped out of a moving car but that would definitely be an option in his case.

Bullshit

Why do you say that? Pleas explain your logic.

Why do you say that? Pleas explain your logic.

It is a phony social performance that does NOT result in improved service.

It is a phony social performance that does NOT result in improved service.

From my experience in the restaurant industry tips most certainly improve service. Wait staff know that their tip levels reflect the attention they pay to the customers.

Being on the other end of the driving "spectrum", that is transit buses and a Commercial License holder, this is one area that I believe should fall under the CDL regulations because I see every day, cabbies and rideshare "drivers" not behaving like professionals. I've always said if I ever owned a taxicab company, I would
1. Require all of my drivers and mechanics to hold at least a Class B Commercial Driver's License
2. Subject new hires to a minimum of 21 days training
3. Mandatory pre hire and random drug testing
4. Article 19-A Background, etc. etc.

Ups drivers make good money.

Yeah, because there's no freaking AC in the trucks.

OK first and foremost my brothers and sisters think about your fellow American. Think about the Mom we had to work three jobs including in the gig economy, to support her kids because we’re talking about a deadbeat dad he’s not around the house. Many mothers across the country are doing these jobs and some of them have been fired due to a false complaint. Look at this horror story here. including in the gig economy look at this horror story… this Walgreens employee a manager actually falsely reported not getting her food in order to get a free meal. This resulted in the woman getting deactivated from Door Dash.



that right there is why we need government government oversight on this. Because that’s a horror story ….and if we don’t care about our fellow American than what do we even care about ???

I think that this would apply more to gig jobs like Uber, DoorDash, GrubHub, Instacart. Compared to say actual real live waiters and waitresses at a restaurant. And I say that simply because you can see if you’re getting treated like crap by a waiter or waitress at a restaurant …. It’s literally happening right in front of you.

Personally, I always tip even if the waiter is a piece of you know what.

Before I get into the idea of mandatory tipping, let me provide my own experience as an Uber driver, and the fax to those who have no idea what gig jobs are like or what it’s like to be in this business, and how incredibly different it is for being a waiter or waitress at a restaurant.

if you’re talking about a DoorDash driver or an Uber driver, they pretty much always have to do their job on time or they risk a contract violation. They risk losing their job. And it is much much easier to be fired on a gig job compared to fired as a waiter or waitress at a restaurant and I’ll explain why.

It’s because when you talk about Uber drivers DoorDash drivers, some of these people have been fired due to false complaints by customers. And on Door Dash and Uber the employees don’t even know what their boss looks like. At a restaurant the waiters and waitresses usually have a good relationship with the boss…. even if they don’t, they know what they look like they know what’s going on …I’m sure that there’s a very few exceptions to these rules but they’re pretty much ground in fact. A waiter or waitress that has been at the same restaurant for 10 or 20 years there’s no way they’re getting fired from that job unless they do something crazy. This does not happen with Uber drivers or DoorDash drivers. They could be doing the job for five years perfectly with 20,000 deliveries alls it takes is literally one false complaint and they get fired.

Anybody who has done gig jobs knows exactly what I’m talking about… I actually did 5000 Uber rides as a driver before the Covid virus and some insane black BLM person along with a far left wing white loser from Seattle literally made up a false complaint about me saying I was “driving too fast”… the other false complaint was I was “aggressive or rude to a rider I refused with the BLM lady to let her do whatever the hell she wants ..she wanted to go into a store for 10 minutes ..but they’re not allowed to do that. That’s abuse of the system. There are those on Uber who abuse the system and they make stops if they’re making a stop its supposed to be for literally in and out because you don’t get paid nothing for time it’s all mileage.

Get this, even though I was fired from Uber as a driver they still would let me use their platform as a rider. That’s how corrupt and greedy this trash company Uber is. That’s insane it makes absolutely no sense.

So again, if one is an Uber driver or a Lyft driver, they don’t get paid anything for the time it’s all for the mileage. So those customers who abuse the system and want to make one to even three stops are in the wrong …. It’s not like a taxi cab with a meter keeps running it’s just not like that.


That black BLM lady pulled out a camera and started videotaping me when I confronted her about abusing the system …and I said “oh so you think it’s OK to go into a store not leave a tip take advantage of the system and shop around for 10 minutes” I dared her to put it on YouTube and see how awful she would look.

The white lady from Seattle clearly a progressive leftie was a psychopath. I had to drive her and her grandkid(you feel bad for kids like this who grow up around psychopath lefties) from Buffalo to Niagara Falls and the entire time she’s complaining about me “ driving too fast “…I’m literally going 6 miles over the speed limit. There’s nothing wrong with that most people can go over 10 miles the speed limit.

Not too long after dropping off the white lady from Seattle, I was fired from Uber. And these monsters on Uber fired me for life that’s how sick these folks are. These are the enemies of humanity. The CEO of Uber is a monster and he has done this to countless Americans Black people white people that he’s fired, countless amount of them for literally no good reason …all bc the customers wanted to get a free ride so they make up a false complaint about the driver.



So there’s a little bit of a background, their you can clearly see how Uber drivers and there have been other people who have been DoorDash drivers with 15,000 deliveries ..alls it takes is one false complaint and they get fired. There’s tons and tons of videos on YouTube showing delivery drivers getting deactivated and it’s really a shocking thing that this is allowed to happen in America.


So this is a two-part question. Do you think that the US government should get involved here and step up and make sure that Uber, lift, Door Dash, Postmates, Grubhub, and all the same other gig jobs are not allowed to fire delivery drivers for literally no good reason. ???

When a customer makes up a false complaint and they get somebody fired. Or when a customer says “I never got my food” and they did get the food and they say they did not get the food to get a free order at the expense of the driver, who can get fired for that. …OOH YA you better believe the answer that question for me and practically every single gig worker is yes.

This never happened in the American past because you saw your boss, face-to-face, but with the gig jobs this is a new thing good American people across the country and immigrants as well…. These are good people they get fired due to a false complaint. Our government needs to protect delivery workers in someway, shape or form. They need to do something about this.


Now as for mandatory tipping. on Uber and Lyft, huge percentages of the riders never leave a tip. This includes rich, elite people whether they republican or democrat they don’t leave any tip. Doesn’t matter how good of a driver you are. This is a well-known establish fact tons of videos on YouTube show this.

So there you go right there that’s how you handle the issue.

I don't want government regulating anything that should be the purview of the private sector. There have always been those jobs everybody would like to have and those jobs that for want of a better word to describe them are just plain sh**ty. When people continue to accept those bad jobs, there is little incentive for employers to figure out how to make them better so people will take those jobs.

I actually stopped using Door Dash and other delivery services for food because of truly lousy service--the food too often arrived stone cold for instance which might or might not have been the driver's fault. We just cooked our meals at home when there wasn't any other choice available to us during the worst of the COVID lockdowns. I never complained about anybody though.

The whole purpose of capitalism is to profit those providing goods and service to those who want those goods and services. It generally finds the happy solution to most problems so that more profit is earned by the provider and the customers are happy to pay good money to get what they want and need.

I've never seen any government regulation--okay meddling--in that process that did not make things worse for one or more parties involved.

Ups drivers make good money. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to get into that type of company plus not everyone can lift the required weight for such a job.

So do stevedores but it was a tough job and you had to be related to one to get a job. I think you still have to have an in, but I don't know how tough the job is anymore.
