Gig companies are such a joke. They try to offer a service, but they want millions for doing nothing while the actual people who make their service useful are scrambling to make ends meet. Greed personified in App form. Restaurants use to deliver for free as incentive to get customers, now you are forced to use one of these fucking apps that tacks on an exhorbitant charge and then they still ask you to tip on top of these new exhorbitant charges.

Blow it all up, let's start again. Maybe we'll get it right this time?
