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.”

    Yeah I don’t know about that, boss. I’ve been working since I was 16. Needed to support myself because my parents sure wouldn’t.

    But I also made an attempt to take union jobs that give me benefits like health insurance and retirement.

    Gig workers are fucked. They don’t get benefits. They don’t even get treated like employees. They don’t have a union. The only real money they’re earning is mostly from tips. It’s a shitty job that exploits people desperate to make some money.
