IMHO people have got a lot of GD nerve coming here illegally and making demands, but the woke liberal socialist democrats that run this place cave in every time.
Latest uproar is that many restaurants don't grant app delivery persons access to their bathrooms, so they don't have a place to "go". Restaurants counter these people are employees of DoorDash or whatever, and thus it's not their problem.

I agree 100%. Not their employees. DoorDash, UberEats and whoever else should deal with it. These businesses already shell out a mini fortune to these third party services, and now they have clean up behind the third party workers. Gotta love it.
Do these businesses have say in whether they use these services? I never understood this lazy crap because I mostly pick up my own food or just call the restaurant.

Yea I'm with you. I dont get nor do I use any of these apps/services but maybe I'm just getting old. I dont even know how they break even, how they're getting bought out for millions and billions of dollars, how they stay afloat, their stock prices. It all comes off as a ponzi scheme imo.

It's a very complicated answer.
DoorDash and the rest allow a restaurant greater exposure for delivery without having to build out, run and maintain their own app/website/delivery service.
When we ordered in as a kid you just called Chicken Delight, Joe & Pat's or whoever and some young kid in a car showed up. He worked for the place and got a small wage plus whatever in tips.
Some places still take their own orders even with Doordash or whatever app. But there are limits to how much a single delivery guy can handle, whereas a bunch of app delivery people can cover a greater area.
Think about it; if your restaurant is say in Tottenville; you get a bunch of orders with one being local, another on Ocean Terrance in Todt Hill, another in Stapleton Heights, one in Rosebank, etc... one guy in a car is going to be zooming back and forth across the Island. Someone's food is going to arrive late and cold.
With a app deliveries can be grouped so guys aren't running all over the place thus customers get their food quickly while it's still hot.

It is a difficult problem and relates to the broader issue of lack of public bathrooms.
If a restaurant has an employee bathroom it sounds reasonable that a driver be able to use it.
But if it doesn't there is potentially a restaurant customer waiting outside of a bathroom occupied by a driver
I agree that these people should be allowed to use the bathroom however their employers (the app companies) should be made to pay for the upkeep of the bathrooms.
It’s silly that this even has to be made into a law. This is really between the app companies and the client restaurants.
I get the concept, but how come delivery services never existed in the past? The mechanism of apps can't be the only reason. Seems that business owners are willingly ceding aspects of their businesses to third parties for no reason. Then, the customers who don't use these stupid services end up paying the increased costs that find their way into the prices to make up for what restaurants pay the service.
