wrt DoorDash (and Instacart etc), along with this squeeze I’ve observed the quality of service decrease severely. Could just be that my sample of a now wider employee pool is crappy, or workers are trying to “scale” to make a living wage with many concurrent orders, but I believe it’s part of the race to the bottom. I love the convenience, but the experience is worsening. How can these vendors continue to profit when lower quality leads to increased refunds?



Well in my observation people keep adjusting lower quality of service. I mean it is not going to be the case that people will start shopping in stores and/or cooking in kitchens.
