New gig economy job: on demand dog poop scooper

OK, so for $35 a month, you get unlimited dogshit cleanup. That’s a little over $1 a day, but I’m sure the company gets a cut. So, someone is being paid less than $1 a day to go find and pick up someone else’s dog’s shit, multiple times on that day?

I’m privileged, in a several ways, but I cannot fathom being the gig worker who actually does this. I’d sooner go back to serving beer to coked up fishermen in that low rent karaoke bar. {Shudder}

Also, if the pitch didn’t include the phrase “Uber for Dog Shit” I would be quite disappoint.
