To be honest, paying a contractor $100 to drive to a grocery store, pickup $435 worth of groceries, drive them to you, unload them, then drive home is pretty reasonable. Many professional companies will charge that or more for an hour of employee time.

But it’s not an employee, and they’re not getting the $100. It’s an independent contractor gig worker getting a fraction of that and the rest is going to a vampire.

When you hire a general contractor and they send someone out, that individual at your house doesn’t get the $100 either.

“General Contractor” doesn’t mean someone that does random tasks on their own, that’s a “handyman”.

General contractors usually just hire people to do the work and then pocket most of the money…
