> I’m happy to do whatever makes the most sense in any given situation

What makes the most sense in this situation: you walk to the nearest pizza place, you buy your pizza, done.

To an able-bodied person it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.

Bonus points: you know the way back to your home.

> because problem-solving is work

You know who made someone else's problem a problem=solving problem? You.

The delivery guy will eventually find your place or he's just taking a different route for whatever reason.

How arrogant is it to think that you can tell people how to do their job, from your couch?

You obsession for micro managing other people's actions it only says that you suffer from high anxiety, it is not in any way proof that you make everyone better off. That's just what you tell yourself.




This is a completely unhinged response to the idea of getting pizza delivered...


> unhinged

while wanting to monitor what the delivery guy does while doing his job and pretending to "help" him because you truly believe that having tipped a couple dollars makes him your butler, that's completely normal...

alright...

There’s a reason why everyone hates the USA right now — one major reason is that, unlike in much of the world, you truly believe that workers don’t have rights.


honestly wtf are you talking about. What is these insane leaps and projections you're making?? how did you go from having a map that shows you where the driver is to "makes him your butler" and "micromanaging" and "workers don't have rights".

I sometimes forget that HN is mostly US people, unaware that there is a World out there.

It's illegal or challenged in courts in many developed countries, that are actually developed.

> showing a driver's location on maps in apps like Glovo or Uber can potentially infringe on workers' rights in Europe, particularly under EU labor and data protection regulations. In Europe, the legal status of gig economy workers on these platforms has been a contentious issue. Several European courts and regulatory bodies have made rulings that impact how these companies can monitor and track their drivers.

> the practice of constant monitoring of delivery drivers by app users (where customers can track drivers' real-time location) has been challenged in several European contexts

ELI5 for you: would you accept a webcam pointed at you that your client (or your employer's clients) can constantly watch, to see if your doing you job the way they want you to do it?

For example, would you accept that a McDonald's customer could monitor how their burger is being made and could give instructions to the people working there, by the sheer overwhelming power of having bought a burger?

And why not?
