Lol, "everyone except me is a government agent".
Its not blaming customers, its not the customers fault, its the company making things confusing to scam both the customers and drivers.
I'm saying, if the company wants to effectively make customers pay the wages of the drivers, then it should be transparent, like how it is in Europe.
Raise the base pay to match at least the minimum wage. If the company isn't happy with their greed (they charge restaurants somewhere from 5% to 30% btw), then they can charge the customer more delivery fees to make it up (like they do in Europe).
But the point is, if companies want to be greedy, at least be transparent about it.
Sir, we are aligned. If I was not clear, the corpo is shifting responsibility of wages to the end user and then makes them tip out of guilt.
If companies gonna be this greedy, deny the parasite profit full stop. Delivery is a luxury, nobody has yet to die from lacking delivery slop.
