The absolute entitlement to believe that delivery workers should be coming up to your door at the 9th floor, while complaining about "ethics".

You're using a delivery service like Uber Eats, Deliveroo or Doordash that are well known to underpay, overwork and unjustly punish workers that do not maximize their deliveries per hour, and you have the gall to complain that they're not taking pride in their jobs from your ivory tower.

Your feet are not going to die because your fat ass has to get up from the couch. Put on some slippers, some pants and go down. Do it early too, every app offers tracking, don't make them wait for five minutes while you find your keys.

The obesity rate in Brazil isn't actually too terrible, by modern standards. Most of the customers are probably not fat asses.

Some people have disabilities thou.

[earthboundkid]

Yeah, or even just small children who can't be kept from burning the building down.

[bobsmooth]

Are you disabled?

It can also be argued that in a country like Brazil you might get assaulted or kidnapped if you leave your flat.

Either way, some people can’t leave their flats, period.

> Either way, some people can’t leave their flats, period.

So you ask for that nicely, and be respectful to others, like always, right?

[rcarmo]

I meant that some people (like motion-challenged and otherwise disabled) cannot leave their flats easily.

This is independent from my being Portuguese and having Brazilian relatives who have witnessed (and been victims of) violent (and murderous) acts during robberies.

Want to keep being snarky, or should we move on to discuss that life is _really hard_ in some places?

So they're supposed to let themselves into your house, walk to your bedroom and hand it to you there?

At what point do consumers become responsible for the choices made by businesses that they patronize?

I expect the working conditions and pay of your delivery driver exceeds that of the person who made your pants. Don't you also owe those workers a fair shake?

[ohgodplsno]

While I do not have any control over whether the place I buy my jeans from uses overworked children from Bangladesh, I also have the very basic human empathy needed to know you shouldn't complain to said children when your Shein order isn't next day delivery.

By all means, blast Uber, blast <shitty gig economy company>, but passing on the blame onto the guy that barely makes minimum wage and destroys his car/bike in the process is downright moronic.

[willcipriano]

If you feel guilt for paying a Uber eats driver to go up a couple flights of stairs but don't feel any for employing children to produce textiles because "I can't do anything about it", I promise you that your moral compass isn't working correctly.
