Anyone here use DoorDash or services like it? Wife and I use it a lot and we're generally happy with it. Expensive and sometimes slow, but impressive in many ways. You can't beat the variety of food available.
When you place a meal order, Dash provides the name of your delivery driver. However lately I've noticed the name given (say, Susan) doesn't match a man who actually shows up at our door (such as Mohammed). I figured that a married couple (i.e. Susan and Muhammad) may share the work and perhaps even drive together,
Should add that the delivery people have all been polite to the extent that I've spoken with them. Out of perhaps 60 orders, I've had only three major screwups, where our meal went to the wrong home, and we quickly got a refund.

"DoorDash steps up driver ID checks after traffic safety complaints"
"DoorDash will require its drivers to verify their identities more often as part of a larger effort to crack down on unauthorized account sharing.
DoorDash has been under pressure to ensure its drivers are operating legally. Over the summer, for example, it pledged to do a better job identifying and removing dangerous drivers after a flood of complaints of dangerous driving from cities. Officials in Boston, New York and other cities have said that in many cases, people with multiple traffic violations continue to make deliveries using accounts registered to others.
The San Francisco delivery company said Thursday it was requiring some drivers to complete real-time identity checks immediately after they complete a delivery. Previously, drivers were occasionally asked to re-verify their identities before or after a shift."

GIG ECONOMY
Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub Team Up to Sue New York City
New York City just got a special delivery: lawsuits courtesy of Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub.
On Thursday, the trio of gig economy mavens, plus upstart competitor Relay, sued the city over sweeping new rules that would require paying gig workers a guaranteed $17.96-an-hour minimum wage — a move, they say, that would upend the city’s entire gig economy ecosystem.
A Declaration of Independent Contractors
It’s a tale as old as, well… at least as old as Uber. Should drivers for delivery and ride-share apps be considered employees — and thus receive the benefits and guaranteed wages of a regular job? Or are they, as the companies have mostly defined them, independent contractors enjoying the ever-flexible fruits of gig work, like setting their own hours and accepting and rejecting tasks as they see fit? It’s a status quo the companies have long fought to protect. Most notably, in 2020, Uber, Lyft, Instacart, and Postmates poured a record $205 million into supporting a California state ballot measure known as Proposition 22 to keep drivers classified as independent contractors. The group won, and secured the victory in a California appellate-court case this past spring upholding the measure.
Now the industry faces a similar fight on the East Coast, with DoorDash and Grubhub filing a joint lawsuit in the Supreme Court of New York, while Uber Eats and Relay each filed separate suits. The law, set to go into effect on Wednesday, could “cause immediate and irreparable harm” to their businesses, Uber said in its complaint. Here’s how the math works out:
• The city’s new rule would require companies to either pay the roughly $18 per hour minimum, or 50 cents for every minute a driver spends on a single trip, with each rate excluding tips. That’s a healthy beat higher than the city’s overall $15-per-hour minimum wage.
• That would radically change the fluctuating per-gig rate system that delivery drivers now receive. The companies argue the new law could lead to contractors simultaneously logging on to various apps, essentially earning wages from multiple companies at once and leading to significantly higher consumer fees — possibly harming restaurants’ takeout business as well.
Add it to the List: The lawsuits are just the latest filed against the city. DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub are also suing over a 2021 law that caps the commission they can take from restaurant sales to just 23%. A similar law in San Francisco limits their cut to just 15%. The trio is also suing the city over another law that requires the apps to share basic customer data — such as names, addresses, and phone numbers — with the local restaurants taking orders, unless users decide to opt-out. Then again, what’s the point of living in the country’s densest city, with takeout options aplenty, if you’re going to wait an hour to overpay for app delivery?
