I pick up my longtime friend and fellow driver Lisa in Solvay and we head to Panera while my Tesla handles some driving and even parks itself, sparking a conversation about automation and gig work. Over coffee, we find out Panera’s Sip Club changed from an every-two-hours setup to 30 drinks per month. Lisa shares how she’s been driving since 2018, went full-time with gig work in 2023, and now focuses mainly on catering through apps like DeliverThat, Expedite, and Zifty—sometimes traveling to places like Utica for better orders. We talk about COVID-era earnings, Uber surges disappearing and returning, dealing with college riders, keeping your car clean, and what Lisa would ask gig-app CEOs about cutting driver pay.
