NYC tipped worker minimum wage is like 13 an hour. Not that The food delivery services are paying minimum wage …
In one of the most expensive cities in the world, an on-demand courier is not going to be cheap. Even if they’re on a bike.
What we’re actually suffering from is that the cost of business and minimum wage has increased but the middle and upper wages have not. That, and the delivery services are a bit out of control. They’re taking $10 out of every transaction to connect a web page to a mobile app.
It’s not just delivery services, basically everything has been co-opted by tech bros that take a huge cut for transactions that are between two parties that have nothing to do with them, just for providing a “shiny” platform. Hotel bookings, AirBnB, marketplaces, Uber, and so on and so forth. All platforms that could be managed by 3 Devs in a basement, or public and managed by the government, but somehow they require 10k employees and vacuum up billions?
