Dodging death and immigration officers: 12 hours as a London fast-food rider – and all for £40
tl;dr these poor people! remember to tip your deliveroo guy
A couple of interesting things:
Quote: | Deliveroo was among the first platforms to offer riders free insurance |
IMO carefully written so you make the mistake of thinking these guys are provided on-the-road insurance, they are not. Riders are still expected to provide their own third-party cover including "Hire & Reward." H&R bumps up insurance considerably and from the article we know these guys are on below minimum wage. You work it out
Another nugget:
Quote: | [Some interviewed Deliveroo guys] juggle different platforms – or “multi-app” – renting accounts, typically for about £50 a week, from holders who have the correct documentation to register for an account (typically a passport and right-to-work paperwork). Riders are allowed to let other riders use their accounts, provided they too have been checked and approved by Deliveroo. |
Oh really? As these guys are all self-employed of course you can substitute someone else to do your work How diligent are these checks?
An entire industry based on fucking over both the tax and immigration systems ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Having written software for both Deliveroo and UberEats I take more of an interest in their affairs.
I agree though, I cringe when others employ their services ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
