Across New York City, delivery drivers are a ubiquitous sight: congregating outside big restaurant chains waiting to collect orders, zooming through the city streets with orders in tow. “The most chaotic time for deliveries is easily during lunch time,” says Elijah Williams, who delivers food for both Uber and DoorDash. “I’ve had up to four orders at one time.” 
Mayor Eric Adams recently announced a major change that will deeply impact busy workers like Williams: app-based delivery workers will be paid $17.96 an hour starting July 12th — and nearly $20 an hour by 2025 — marking the nation’s first minimum pay for such workers.
“Our delivery workers have consistently delivered for us — now, we are delivering for them,” he said. “They should not be delivering food to your household, if they can’t put food on the plate in their household.”
The Background
Mayor Adams made the announcement at City Hall, surrounded by delivery workers as well as members of the nonprofit organizations, Workers Justice Project (WJP) and Los Deliveristas Unidos.
Ligia Guallpa, executive director of WJP, expressed her excitement and gratitude.
“This first of its kind minimum pay rate will uplift working and immigrant families,” said [Ligia Guallpa of Workers Justice Project (WJP)] alongside Gustavo Ajche of Los Deliveristas Unidos. “[It will] ensure that workers who keep New Yorkers fed, are able to keep also their families fed too.”
WJP was founded in 2010, and coordinates numerous worker-led programs, including Los Deliveristas Unidos, that aim to improve conditions for low-wage immigrant workers across the five boroughs.
The Details
The current minimum wage in New York is $15 an hour. On average, service workers are paid $7.09 an hour, excluding tips. The new wage is in keeping with a law passed by the City Council in 2021, which requires the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection to set a standard minimum rate for delivery workers.
App-based delivery workers are classified as “independent contractors,” which means they’re not entitled to the standard minimum wage that applies to salaried employees’ pay. Instead, delivery workers who work for the big food delivery services, like Uber Eats and Relay, are entitled to just $2.13 an hour before tips — a so-called “tipped sub-minimum wage.”
Research has shown that getting rid of tipped sub-minimum wages benefits not just the workers getting the raise, but the economy as a whole. A 2021 analysis found that states without a tipped sub-minimum wage saw 29 percent growth in their leisure and hospitality sectors, compared to just six percent in states that used the federal tipped sub-minimum wage of $2.13.
...For many of the workers who face hostile roads and unpredictable weather conditions to get New Yorkers their ordered goods, this is a life-changing development.
“This is my full-time job. I get up every day and do this,” says delivery driver Justin Martinez outside the Chick-Fil-A in Washington Heights. 
Martinez, 30, is originally from the Dominican Republic. His commitment to completing deliveries, he explains, is fueled by his love for his family.
“This is my way to contribute. I go out, 9, 10 hours a day, do deliveries, and then I can come home,” he says. Martinez first started driving for Uber in 2019 before transitioning to delivering food for Uber Eats and other apps in 2021. He’s excited for the pay wage increase: “Maybe now, I only [have to] go out for 6 hours.”

I think the takeaway is that if you’re going to be an asshole and leave a one star review for your delivery driver, at least also explain why you’re leaving a one star review to them. Or better yet, leave a five star review and explain what they did wrong to them and how they can do better next time. Simply leaving a rating below five stars has a high likelihood of getting your delivery driver fired. It does not teach them any lessons other than that customers are cruel.

I've thought about making this post a dozen times since december, but like
TIP your delivery drivers! at least $1 per mile. on average I can get 3-5 deliveries done an hour, and whatever you tip is all we get usually. sometimes on weekends DD will give an extra dollar per delivery but otherwise *shrug* 5 or 6 bucks always makes me happy as a delivery driver
ALSO RATE US 5 PLS
anything less than 5 actively pulls our rating down, and it is incredibly difficult to climb back up, at least in doordash, as your rating is based on your last 100 ratings. I think like 1/20 deliveries give me a rating? I got 3 1 stars in a row one week from people who messaged me and said they misclicked and then never contacted support to fix it.
and I've made 400 deliveries since then and they still haven't gone away soooo :PP
ALSO WITH JULY 4TH COMING
DON'T FUCKING FLASH YOUR DRIVERS
it always happens a ton around the holidays but like. please, put on a shirt and pants if you MUST answer the door. otherwise pls just let me leave it on your doorstep.
Because 1) mm yes thanks you're very pretty, but I just wanna hand you your food and go, I have zero energy for people and I have no idea how to appropriately react to this and also idk feels vaguely harrassey?? I certainly don't get a choice in the matter
and 2) YOUR OWN FUCKIN SAFETY?! like I'm safe, I'm not going to do anything, I'm just tryin to make a few bucks but like, girl. If I were dangerous I now have your first name and last initial, your address, if its a house and your car is in the driveway I've got the make model, and license plate number. THATS A LOT OF INFO AND YOU JUST MADE YOURSELF A TARGET
FUCK
I'm lucky enough I don't need the money and use it to pay off bills, but most of the other dashers out there are much less fortunate than me

I'm trying to deluver for Uber eats for some income for college rn
I did my second ride today. I just learned that the payment they tell you upfront includes an expected tip that the driver can just not give you, I guess if they're either dissatisfied or short on dough. Or just don't want to. 🤷‍♀️ That's good to know ig...
But th. The guy... ordered from a chain restaurant like... 12 minutes away from his location (and my current location) when there was the exact same restaurant just a few minutes from him... like... how. How does that happen. Why.
Tumblr media
My dude... you could've saved money on the trip costs that could've gone into the tip you didn't give me, and could've saved us BOTH time. That order could've taken 10 minutes and it took 40. W h y

O conceito de subir na vida para muitos entregadores de aplicativo é um triste paradoxo moderno, onde subir significa enfrentar desafios extremos, humilhações e comissões baixas.

POV: Gojo is a Deliveroo/Uber eats delivery driver but he can’t drive so he has to use a bike.
He runs into his first predicament - bro is like 487ft tall and his massive fucking legs are too long for his little cycle bike - bros on his last straw.
Because of this, he fell off the bike outside KFC after picking up an order but it tips him over the edge - it’s KFC. We know what happened outside KFC. he sits there with grazed knees and spilled KFC and sobs.
