A hidden consequence of the gig economy is that workers keep asking customers for sex or dates::“People have the right to order a pizza … without then being asked for sex or a date.”

    I think the last thing anyone wants is some broke ass gig worker hitting on them.

      Well that’s pleasant and shows how spoiled you are.

      Literally could be a college student working and studying, or an immigrant that came through a fucked up jorney just so he could send money back home.

      I can say that they aren’t as spoiled little s like you

        It’s not spoiled to not want to be harassed by someone you’re paying for a service. It is however spoiled to expect it’s ok to treat a job as a dating service.

            You should re-read what you wrote, because literally nowhere does it say that you agree that gig workers shouldn’t be hitting on or propositioning their customers.

              But he didn’t disagree with that point, so to assume he meant to disagree is a quite the jump in logic. All I see from his reply was to criticise the blanket calling of all gig workers as broke, which is an elitist point of view towards workers of that industry.

                Hmm, that’s fair, I guess my interpretation of what he said was colored by how he said it.

        Yeah I don’t know about that, boss. I’ve been working since I was 16. Needed to support myself because my parents sure wouldn’t.

        But I also made an attempt to take union jobs that give me benefits like health insurance and retirement.

        Gig workers are fucked. They don’t get benefits. They don’t even get treated like employees. They don’t have a union. The only real money they’re earning is mostly from tips. It’s a shitty job that exploits people desperate to make some money.
