Bodega owners ask NYC for help as grocery delivery apps expand in Five Boroughs... UPDATE 7/17/22

Why the fukk would you need to use a delivery app for a corner store anyway? The whole point is to quickly grab something and be on your way

I've never used a delivery app of any kind and don't think I will. fukk I look like paying double for a random to pull up to my home address

a babysitter might not have permission to leave the home with the children but be in need of something from the store, they could get it delivered. a sole adult at home with 2+ kids might not want to go through the hassle of getting small children dressed up just to go around the corner, across the street or 2 blocks down to get one or two ingredients. an individual working from home might want something but can't step away too long from their pc or laptop webcam/voip phone. old/disabled people in NYC walkups or buildings with broken elevators.

there plenty of reasons people might want something delivered even if the store is closeby.

I'm more caping for small businesses. I guess you can cherry pick the ones that you had bad experience with.

The financial affects don't cherry pick and affect future small business owners from even getting started.

Uber, Grubhub and DoorDash must pay NYC delivery workers an $18 minimum wage​

A first-of-its kind law requiring a minimum wage for app-based delivery workers will take effect after a judge rejected the companies' bid to block it.​

Uber, DoorDash and Grubhub won’t be able to get out of paying minimum wage to their New York City delivery workers after all, following a judge’s decision to reject their bid to skirt the city’s new law. The upcoming law, which is still pending due to the companies’ ongoing lawsuit, aims to secure better wage protections for app-based workers. Once the suit settles, third-party delivery providers will have to pay delivery workers a minimum wage of roughly $18 per hour before tips, and keep up with the yearly increases, Reuters reports.

The amount, which will increase April 1 of every year, is slightly higher than the city’s standard minimum wage, taking into account the additional expenses gig workers face. At the moment, food delivery workers make an estimated $7-$11 per hour on average.


New York Acting Supreme Court Justice Nicholas Moyne put the law on pause back in July, when the three companies and the smaller delivery service, Relay Delivery, sued the city, arguing that the raised rates will have a negative impact on their services. With Moyne's latest decision, it’ll now move forward. While Uber, DoorDash and Grubhub will have to comply once it takes effect, Relay will be given more time to renegotiate its contracts with restaurants, according to Reuters.

The move makes NYC the first US city to require a minimum wage for app-based deliveries, and others are likely to follow suit. The city previously pushed ride hailing apps to raise their minimum rates for drivers, forcing Uber and Lyft to raise their per-mile rates by just over 5 percent in 2022.
