The covid lockdowns started my senior year in high school, so I ended up working at an Amazon distribution center and Walmart my restaurant job also laid me off.

Sure both sucked, but an Amazon warehouse is much more dull. It is truly mind numbing work, the only enjoyable aspect was seeing how many sex toys people bought when they were stuck at home. It's noisy, hot, and you do the same task for your entire shift. You could not wear headphones or listen to music. You are micromanaged to a degree I have never seen before like timing your bathroom breaks. They even had thermal cameras at the entrance to see if you were hiding any stolen product under your clothes, and insisted they were for detecting employees coming to work with a fever.

Walmart was a relaxing experience by comparison.

It's because CRT displays draw from top to bottom, right?

The switch is widely used as a portable game console. The switch lite can't even connect to the dock

I work at a restaurant with door dash and grub hub. Unless there is something I have missed about doordash raising the prices, it’s the restaurants who are raising their delivery prices to stay profitable right now. Where I work every menu item has a .50$ to 1.50$ markup for delivery to make up for the some of what delivery services take from the restaurant.

I wish I could be more specific but I’m just working here while in school. I don’t really know the full detail of what doordash charges us.

There’s plenty of online tools and browser extensions to accomplish the same task (I wonder how many of those use YouTube-dl on the backend)

On the west coast waiters make minimum wage and there is still a tipping culture. Because of this, being a server or a waiter can be a very high paying job. To-go orders usually get tipped, but closer to 5-10% as opposed to the standard 15-20 for a sit down restaurant.

I currently work in a restaurant with doordash. While I rarely have to take to-go orders and doordash orders, I see my Coworkers who hate taking doordash orders.

First of all, there's no tips for doordash orders. On a busy night our Togo person makes ~50 in tips, so they just don't pay as much attention to the door dash orders.

Second, no matter how long we quote the order, the driver always shows up immediately and gets in the way of the servers and bussers and other customers (its a fairly small restaurant with no waiting area) so usually we are rushing to try and finish the order to get them to leave.

I don't know a single person in the restaurant except the owner who likes the doordash system, but as long as people keep ordering it'll stay

100% this, I'd guess if you asked everyone in the U.S, it'd probably go 9:1 against Oxford and Cambridge
