Well they’d be in just as bad a situation if no one ordered at all for a week. Theyre without income either way. I honestly think its better for doordash and ubereats drivers if people still order in poor weather. Pizza places on the other hand where the driver may at least be making some sort of flat rate, they may just prefer to sit there all shift with no orders.
They would only be in a bad situation because minimum wage is low and they will be missing tips.
A pizza driver in the US is guaranteed at least minimum wage while they are on the clock.
To my knowledge, Uber style delivery services are not going to fire you for not working a night.
The typical pizza place has managers that will force workers to work. If you are forced to work and someone calls in a pizza, you are forced to deliver.
Im sure there are people out there that have 4x4s and enjoy the extra tips in the hazardous conditions.
But you could also be risking some poor soul life that’s being forced to deliver in their Honda civic.
Those people can’t say no to their managers in fear of being fired. It’s what the whole comment was about. They can’t quit, fired could be worse.
A delivery driver is already towards the bottom of the job ladder
Not many can say “I can be without work for a week or two while I look for a better/safer job”
Can they say no? Yes, can they really say no? Probably not
