My retirement gig is doing delivery stuff, Walmart, DoorDash, and another

app owned by UPS. I see that crap all the time. People take their kids to do the leg work because they're too damn lazy to get out and do it themselves. Or too damn broke for daycare, which is probably the case in a lot of situations. Technically, they're not supposed to do that, anyone under 18, but it happens all the time. The independent contractor agreements are pretty explicit on it, but it's never enforced.
