Poor people don’t have rights.
And I’m glad, it keeps my food cheap
Your food could still be cheap if the people profiting off of it made less profit.
They’d still be richer than you, though.
Delivery services are completely unprofitable
Pizza places were doing it for decades before Uber eats came along.
Not even close to the scale, speed and price of companies like Uber Eats. These service are unprofitable and by their own admission they will likely remain unprofitable
I’ll give you scale, but would definitely argue speed and price.
Anytime I’ve used one of them the total ends up being at least double what the food itself was and wasn’t even close to the “30 minutes or it’s free” that used to be prevalent.
That is simply not representative of the actual numbers involved. Delivery times and prices have decreased with the emergence of delivery service, at least in general, your specific area might be an exception.
Nah that isn’t true.
At least in Italy the pizza delivery that already existed for decades before Uber eats was both cheaper and faster. You needed to call a specific phone number for each store instead of opening the app
Profit can be distorted based on how much employees are being paid.
A service isn’t ‘unprofitable’ if people are making 6 and 7 figure salaries off of them.
Apparently people downvote sarcasm here
So far no one posted media bias check: mediabiasfactcheck.com/al-jazeera/
Just keep that in mind when taking information from there…
