Is Instacart, Doordash Uber Lyft any different? Or for that matter any of the gig economy jobs?

Why pick on Postmates? Any ulterior motive by authors?

they had to start with one of them...

My guess, as college students, they might not have wanted to start with a service (Uber, Lyft) that would potentially take them far from campus.

And DoorDash might have additional onboarding to do. For example, don’t you need to get a DoorDash shirt and credit card?
