I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people (especially in the US) regularly demand that their food be chauffeured to them. (lemmy.world)

Driver tip...?

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

$8 is the full 8-5 working daily wage in many developing countries. I know NY rent is not the same as nigeria, but I'm just putting things in prespective when you see economic immegrants delivering your food

I'm not sure that I understand/follow your point. Could you rephrase it?

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

many of the delivery drivers are economical immigrants who came from developing countries where the median average salary is $8/day, which is the driver tip for one single delivery.

Unfortunately, I still don't follow what your point is.
