This.
I have no idea what the fuck is going on in the original post, the fact that people replying have to decipher it for others is ridiculous.
lmao, I wasn't paying much attention when I made it

OP has a part time job at postmates, which delivers food from random restaurants to people who order through its app/website using gig economy employees like OP.
OP is on his last delivery, $162 of sushi, and his phone dies. The only way he knows where to deliver to is the phone app, which he can no longer access.
OP gives away the sushi, contacts postmates later that night who tell him its no big deal, the customer cancelled the order, and they won't fire him
The rest of the thread starts to realize that millennials really are the worst at problem solving as they come up with dozens of ways OP could have fixed the problem on the spot but OP was probably just too tired or secretly hated his job and was subconsciously trying to get fired.
Life in the digital age isn't all its cracked up to be. This is almost a word for word retelling of Hiro Protaganist's story from Neal Stephenson's prophetic Snow Crash, although in that case it was a pizza driver who never lost an order and in this case its a sushi delivery guy who gave up after 2 mins.

How does any phone battery die after only two hours starting at 75% battery? My S7 lasts nearly two days the way I use it. The only time it runs out so fast is if I'm watching something in SLR in VR.
My s7 battery sucks balls. Not that bad but I'm lucky if I last from morning to evening.

I'm guessing the screen was on so he could see the map on the app which uses GPS, that'll drain your battery pretty fast

I don't understand what you mean by "I decided to do Postmates."

Yeah I think this is the root of the issue. The delivery fee is less than 4 bux, how do people live off this?
I was going to make a Uncle Enzo joke but I thought the thread was too millennials to understand.
Also, how are you allowed to cancel a $160 food order? Why is there even a cancel button? I think we need a new thread just to discuss it.
Probably sitting in his car watching HD porn.
I guess support noticed the issues and canceled and refunded the customer.
I've had orders canceled just before getting to the restaurant location. Why? I don't know.
Also, the job isn't too bad. I can manage $30 an hour with tips. I made $200 in 4 hours because the company was doing bonuses.
The app is pretty demanding on the battery of your phone. You have to run the app and Google maps/navigation + you have to keep the screen on. Two apps taxing the GPS I guess burns it out. I usually have my phone connected to the charger, but I forgot it and didn't know it would drain battery so much.
Thank you.
