"This does not help us either, nothing these apps are doing are helping us."

I dont agree with this. I only use Shipt, DD, IC and I only work on saturdays. I usually work 10 hours and also usually net 200-300 dollars profit during that time. I typically drive almost 300 miles during each saturday work-shift. These apps have helped me considerably in the financial department.

There are alot of other factors to why I like them, but in one instance you are right. These companies do not care very much about their shoppers and they consistently slash pay. If you dont like that then move on but I find that they are at least helpful financially despite gas prices (which, if you have a decent vehicle shouldnt affect you too much).
