Melbourne: Locked Down and Gripped by Panic over Uber Eats Glitch.
There are hidden dramas taking place everywhere.
It’s 6.30 pm, and thousands of essential workers fall through the door exhausted. All they want is to eat pizza and watch the Olympic Games opening ceremony.
They place the order, jump onto the sofa and wait.
The Pizza shop workers pounce as the order comes in, shove the pizza in the oven, fling it in a box and wait for the delivery driver.
Uber delivery drivers sit on dark streets, staring at phones and waiting for the first job.
Thousands of people waiting for things and people that will never arrive.
Thousands of people swearing, crying, pounding, calling.
Thousands of people eating a bendy carrot and a stale cracker for dinner.
