When your Uber Eats driver disappears with your order for over an hour and tries to blame the store (who also tried to contact him) but then turns up and looks nothing like the person in the app (they did not change drivers). Just wondering if Uber Eats drivers can share accounts with other people and have them drive for them?
@lostlifefound This is pretty common for all of the gig economy driving apps. Typically people who can't get on the platforms themselves - because they are not allowed to work, don't have ID, or have driving offenses - will 'rent' an account from someone else, who will then forward them a tiny fraction of the money they make.
The companies don't do much about it, because the benefit to them of an insecure, arms-length, easily exploitable workforce outweighs the reputational risk.
