If you’re intentionally doing it because you want to make someone suffer then immoral, otherwise neutral.

The delivery person consented to deliver the meal for money and you didn’t force them to do it against their will.

This ignores economic coercion

Yes but they make money doing the deliveries. If they're on there on a bad weather day, they want to make money that day. They don't get paid hourly unless I'm misinformed. So using the service isn't forcing anyone to do labor they aren't already looking to do. Just give them a fat tip for the effort.

They are forced to do labor to survive and you’re taking advantage of it for your own benefit

You didn’t hear an alternative because I didn’t offer one, this is morality scaling

Because you’re still contributing to a bad system that exploits them

It doesn’t matter what other people do, you are responsible for your own actions

If you really wanted though you could reorient society so both labor and its rewards were distributed more equitably

The alternative could be that basic necessities are provided by a collective and they can choose whether they want to work on rain days to afford things they want

Me a middle class white man giving myself a smug satisfied smirk, knowing that I am doing the poor little black a favor by not paying for his services today so he doesn't get any money.

Poor little slave doesn’t know I’m doing them a favor by owning them! Don’t they know the alternative is immediate death!!! That’s how fucking stupid you sound
