I Was A Postmates Courier For A Day
I've been a big fan of the PostMates Get It Now delivery service ever since it was launched more than a month ago, and use it every couple of weeks to order lunch whenever I'm feeling particularly lazy, when I'm jonesing for some food that's not within walking distance, or when I have a limited amount of time in between meetings. I've got much love for the PostMates couriers who bring me things that I wouldn't have gone out and gotten for myself. And so, when they asked if I wanted to spend an afternoon as a courier myself, of course I jumped at the opportunity.Which is how it came to pass that one Friday, I spent about 3.5 hours biking around, picking up mostly lunch orders and chocolates and delivering to various startups and tech-savvy customers in downtown San Francisco.So what was it like? Well let me tell you.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/quU5A58haRM/
