How can Postmates be proud to pay the Los Angeles couriers what equals less than minimum wage, discourage tipping, and still sleep well at night?
But isn't it dishonest to claim that they're providing a fair wage when in reality it's less than minimum wage? And why not just include the cost of delivery in the price of the item, rather than rely on tips to make up the difference?
Some might argue that it's a matter of approach. Postmates could be taking the stance that they offer a platform for people to make money outside of traditional employment and that the earnings are dependent on how much the individual works. As for the cost of delivery, some might argue that it's beneficial for customers to see the separate cost so that they can determine whether or not the convenience is worth the additional expense.
