I’ve noticed a sizable decrease in Amazon Prime delivery speed and quality this year. Items often see their delivery window constantly pushed back, even to the next day. Some items have gone missing. Some arrived damaged. A far cry from the early days. Waiting for the inevitable price increase to counterbalance the decreased service.
Shortage of desperate labor for gig work. Uber, DoorDash, Amazon deliveries, etc.
Amazon could just switch to USPS for the last mile, they choose not to for profitmaxxing. Only lasts so long as the prime working age cohort continues to shrink in the US, pushing wages up.
Both :-). That said, uber/lyft drivers are key subscription revenue for car washes. It's a cost of doing business. Decrease in uber/Lyft drivers should correlate with a decrease in car wash revenue
In the last few years, I have not had a single Uber ride from the airport to my house (15 mins) cost less than $60. Sometimes it's as high as $120. I recently went back to carpooling and being social.
Uber has over 30k employees... why? The service quality has not increased in a decade.
Ride apps are on an enshittification speedrun, worse than virtually any other company or service out there.
