This seems like a Wal-Mart problem, I don't know who any of the people who deliver goods to me are, I never have done, it's not normal for me to expect anything from the people who deliver things to me aside from they have the capability to deliver things to me.
Yeah it’s gig work; they already were letting “anyone” do it. If they don’t like the results of the business model they should stop using it.
It's an accountability problem. If Wal Mart doesn't know who delivered your stuff, how can they address problems? Was your stuff delivered? Stolen? Property defaced? Who bears responsibility? Are they doing background checks? How do they know they aren't paying someone unauthorized to work in the US? I personally think everyone should be allowed to work here regardless of status, but I have to think there are serious considerations and implications for the business
You know how you solve all that? Hire them as a delivery person instead of using an app to skirt employee protection requirements.
Totally! I think all of them deserve a living wage and full employee status with healthcare, even. Was sort of just musing about the problem.
i remember a few years ago i got blacklisted from applying to doordash because it detected i had a speeding ticket. can't blame anyone for trying to get around petty bullshit like that
Well, someone else wants to hold Doordash liable for the behavior they tolerate or encourage in their drivers. Taking on that liability incentivizes them to filter out drivers known to break rules of the road; which is you.
