Millions of people have been working from home since the start of the pandemic, which means couriers and food service workers have been going hard at the delivery game all through quarantine. It shouldn't be a surprise that the couriers of Caviar, Doordash, Favor, GrubHub, Instacart, Postmates, and UberEATS have some amusing stories. r/couriersofreddit is a subreddit where workers share relatable memes, funny experiences, and screenshots of both good and bad interactions with customers. We've gathered a bunch of amusing and eye-opening posts from the sub to remind everyone to be kind to couriers and tip extra in these crazy times.

Looks like we're entering another lockdown in America as Covid-19 spikes across the country. And guess what? Millions of people are still unemployed, don't have health insurance, and CARES Act programs are about to expire. But for the United States, screwing over its workers who produce all the wealth for the country is nothing new. The long-standing structural failure in America is simply rearing its ugly head now that crisis is ubiquitous. But hey, at least we have memes!
If you're pissed off like millions of other common Americans, these relatable working class memes might resonate with you.

As the days blend into one another and we continue this thankless, penniless existence, there seems to be very little that makes us smile or laugh. Even binge-watching has started to lose its escapist benefits. One exception to this absolute dreary drainage of entertainment has been memes. Through thick and thin, these funny posts and tweets give us some seriously needed instant gratification. We hope they do the same for you.
We hear the term "heroes" thrown around a lot when we talk about essential workers during this whole pandemic thing. Don't get us wrong, we appreciate the hell out of all of you, but we also get that realistically, you have two sobering choices: either continue to go to work every day and risk your life, or stop going to work and risk being fired, losing your source of income.
Either way, we appreciate you and just remember that this will all be over eventually.
Remember that 'Let's Get This Bread' meme? Well, it's back. Kinda. As people commend the essential workers toiling away in the face of the pandemic, people on Twitter have started a meme featuring mascots and other costumed workers wondering why the hell they're going in. While the premise of a weary Chuck E. Cheese lamenting essential worker status is funny, there really are some integral laborers who should be receiving a hell of a lot of respect. So while we laugh at Ronald McDonald and the rest of these jokey tweets, let's hear it for the people on the front lines.
