- incumbent taxis are also predatory services that abuse drivers, arguably worse than Uber/Lyft - and they're a shitty rider experience in many many ways.
- hotels are OK but rarely provide kitchens, let alone friendly hosts who bake you killer banana bread (yesterday's stay)
- delivery from individual restaurants is rarely available at all, and thus you're going to call a Postmates/etc to help pickup. Delivery is all-but-required when feeding a large group, e.g. work function.
One has to decide, do I give up some comforts to make things better for others or not?
I'm sure it's usually pretty easy to convince oneself that others won't give up the comforts so nothing will change and just continue using the services.
How does it make things better for those people? By taking away their opportunity? So they go home, and rethink their life, and come up with a better way to make money?
Great, but is taking away bad jobs really the best way to do that?
Just to be clear, whose life is being made better by you not taking delivery of food? The now unemployed delivery worker? The restaurant workers? Yourself?
> delivery from individual restaurants is rarely available at all
You can thank the likes of Uber Eats, Deliveroo, etc. A lot of restaurants would've otherwise had their own service, and some actually replaced their own service with these companies.
