follow a few youtuber doing food delivering services in london, seems can make minimum 100£ a day. or 20£ and hour

1. weather is cool, - so not so hard, no need burn under hot sun
2. every restaurant is in near vicinity to each others - no need to drive long distance to deliver food
3. can use E bike - the infrastructure there is better means its quite safe to reide E bike on the street, less maintenance fees and petrol .earn more.

You sit 12-14-16 hours behind the wheel, praying for any order the app assigns you with to get you by and make a decent living.

A lot, and i Mean A LOT of stress because of the trafic, constant struggle to find a parking lot, a constant struggle with the police, a lot of the custommers are assholes, yet you need to dissemble and act 'correctly'.

It may does not seem so, but being a delivery driver is a rly, rly hard work.

And every of those companies, being it UberEats, Deliveroo, Bolt or Wolt, just...don't give a damn.

You have no benefits, you have no insurance, you have no retirement money guaranteed...

It's a good way to make more money if you have some stable job, but if you are dependant on it, doesn't matter the reason, if you are not dedicated to it, you won't fucking make it.

You won't pay the bills, you won't have the chance to eat decently, you can't make any unnecessary purchases like clothing and stuff like that.

It takes a lot of effort to make it through every goddamn day, even when you love the job with all of its pros and cons

the main attraction to me is you can safely ride an e bike there to deliver. so less parking problem.
I did try doing foodpanda delivery here during MCO but the road condition and weather really mde the job feels like 10 times difficult.

im personally in a rut career wise with dead end job, so im just really looking for other paths.
