‘My theory that delivery apps ruined the world is truer every day’: Apartment Dweller Calls Out DoorDash Driver for Not Bringing Food to Her Door, Restarts Customer Entitlement Debate

Those who provide services to us: they’re people too! In a post-Karen society, it would be nice to think that we all had an awareness of how to treat those in customer-facing roles with the respect they deserve, especially when the industries they work in are often overworked and underpaid.  Apparently, though, this all goes …
