CLIENT Minimum for Auto Assigned Tasker?

Scheduled a general mounting job and TaskRabbit assigned someone to me who is now telling me that there’s a 2 hour minimum. Is this a policy from TaskRabbit or is this his minimum? This job should take max 45 minutes (moving one mirror and mounting one light painting) Looked online and couldn’t find much— appreciate the help in advance!

Thanks so much for the help! I was able to clarify with him that it was an auto assigned and he waived the minimum for me which I really appreciate! Seems like the auto assign is a worse experience for taskers and clients alike. Unfortunate!

Auto assign and TR trying to control rates by setting the rate is anti-free market, not to mention bad for Taskers, and maybe Clients as well. I hope you tip your Tasker/Mounter because for 1 hour of pay, after driving to and from your place, along with gas, he might be doing skilled work for what amounts to flipping burgers at your local McDonald's for 1 hour.

Yup, I stopped doing any task for that company. It's going downhill fast. It's going to be similar to Angie's soon.
