He Took The Bag Into The Bathroom And Now I’m Eating At Home Forever. Not the Best Of The GIG Economy Podcast | Ep 279

We would love to hear your feedback!

A year-end mix of gig-life highs and lows: walking deliveries in dense cities, the line between speed and sanitation, a CEO clip that aged oddly, and the ripple effects of buy-now-pay-later on DoorDash. We add real life too—sick days, frozen shoulders, and how to keep working without burning out.

• viability of on‑foot delivery in dense markets
• why bathroom hygiene rules matter for customer trust
• managing illness and frozen shoulder as a gig worker
• bidets, restrooms and practical comfort on shift
• the early Uber Eats confusion and product clarity
• Klarna and DoorDash partnership impacts on tips
• when BNPL boosts grocery baskets vs fast food
• driver strategy for screening and adapting to new patterns

 We'll be back with a live episode this Wednesday.
