Gig work is very anti worker and most deliveries are done gig style nowadays (like uber eats).
I stopped ordering altogether because I don’t want to support the gig economy and the quality of the service has gone down since all these gig apps started taking over.
When I don’t have food and I need something to eat I’ll just make a sandwich or a snack pot or something.
I do order pickup though and I try to support non-chain restaurants, but I do get mcdonalds and other stuff sometimes.
Night shift workers are also much more diverse - that is to say minorities are more often to take night work and be hired for night work. Minorities have worse health care outcomes regardless of when they work.
Be careful about applying causation to correlation. While I do think that there’s negative health outcomes that come with misalignment of your natural circadian rhythm and the problems that come with an increase in drunk and tired driving at night, a good chunk of humans naturally are predisposed to be up at night (from an evolutionary perspective this makes sense, having a night watch) and might even have better outcomes with a life that allows them to experience appropriate alignment.
As stated in the other thread, individual commercial choices are useless.
If we had democracy over our work, I would defend having as little night shifts as possible. Part of the medical services, some industries that technically cannot stop and restart every 24h without very heavy costs, ect. And the workers in those fields should be paid more, work less, get their retirement earlier, and not keep this job for a long period in their life (maybe a third of their career or something).
I pretty much never order food because delivery jobs suck and aren’t paid well. At the same time I don’t think that individual action in this regard is very influential.
Ordering food delivery from places that deliver their own food like pizza placesand stuff is okay, unless they only pay their delivery drivers less than minimum wage because they can.

Enlightening, thanks!

Same, and also restaurants & etc gain less money because glovo, ubereats or whoever have a cut.
I raise the stakes and propose that no individual action is influential unless you are very rich 😛
