Instacart is one of a slew of similar apps — DoorDash, Postmates, Shipt — paying tens of thousands of workers like Gordon to deliver packages, food or groceries to strangers. Similar to those who drive for ride-share apps Uber and Lyft, delivery workers can choose when to work. But they don't have to invite strangers into their cars.
This draws women — often in their 40s and 50s — who now make up more than half the contractors working for major food delivery apps.
