    I get the exact opposite from this. Those companies should be given special exception due to the nature of the work.

    Minimum wage should only apply to jobs you actually have to clock in and work a schedule to perform.

          You do realize that you have to clock in and out to do these things, right? It’s not like you just do it then say, “Hey, I did that one thing! Pay me!” Even if its on a self-made schedule, these people deserve to be paid a proper wage for the work they do. This would also make drivers far less reliant on tips, which not every rider can give.

            Tipping culture makes tipped employees more money. If you can’t afford the tip, you can’t afford the tipped service, and you wouldn’t be able to afford it after their pay was scaled either. You do realize that, right? The income has to come from somewhere, and “people who can’t afford to tip” just wouldn’t be able to get the ride.

            Minimum wage laws fuck up “work when you want” jobs because they crush your flexibility, which is the entire point of these jobs.
