Well that’s different from food delivery, where you as the driver see the offer in dollar amount, restaurant location, and estimated time of delivery. You see a $20 delivery but it’s estimated to take 1.5 hours? Just refuse it.

The system doesn’t punish you. You can refuse as many as you want and they just keep coming in.

Refusing pre-defined contracts doesn't make you a contractor. It makes you unemployed.

Contractors are unemployed by definition. Lots of contracts are tendered as-is and non-negotiable.
