(1) Not only is this courier underpaid and mistreated by @UberEats he now has @piersmorgan piling in on him in public. Inaccurate delivery time is not the couriers fault. Was probably given a “stacked” order which is UberEats way of forcing drivers to do two jobs for less money.. https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/1312375054269906944

(2) The driver wouldn’t know the addresses of the orders until he accepted the order and they are regularly not even close to each other. Considering the can be terminated on a customers rating of them this just increases stress especially on a wet day like today..

(3) @UberEats drivers are not paid for waiting times and @McDonalds are notoriously bad for making couriers wait (outside in the rain) for long times. In fact so bad there is currently a boycott happening in Wolverhampton https://twitter.com/iwgb_clb/status/1312007915260252160

(4) courier deaths are not unusual as they chase less than minimum wage in treacherous conditions and these poor conditions are likely to get worse as @Deliveroo and @UberEats continuously drive down the cost of labour and further deplete rights https://twitter.com/alexjkmarshall/status/1312289046643838976

(5) Complaints like yours can result in couriers being terminated through no fault of their own like Khalid in Sheffield who was wrongly terminated by @deliveroo and is now struggling to support his family https://twitter.com/syorkscouriers/status/1304152233018298368

(6) So everyone, not just @piersmorgan, please try and think beyond your tummy rumbling when waiting for that food to arrive and maybe don’t take to your army of followers to moan about something that could destroy someone’s livelihoods. Take aim at @UberEats and @Deliveroo

(7) and not the courier who is putting himself at risk for often less than minimum wage to get that food to your front door
