A hidden consequence of the gig economy is that workers keep asking customers for sex or dates::“People have the right to order a pizza … without then being asked for sex or a date.”

    If an employee delivering pizza harassed me, they would be fired. They couldn’t be hired at that same pizza place again - they’d have a blacklisted ssn.

    If a gig work worker harassed me, they could easily resign up using someone else’s info. In fact, that’s a common method for harassing women - they sign up with a fake woman’s profile so you let your guard down.

      Isn’t that pretty much the definition of lack of enforcement? Any customer could report if the driver is using a different ID, then it’s up to the platform to kill the account.

        That’s one of the big issues with all these Gig companies. There’s little to no oversight. They offload as much responsibility as they can by lying that “this is not really our employee but a self-employed contractor”
