If Instacart closes down because of this kind of shitty behavior, people may learn a thing or two, and the next company in this space might decide that wage theft is not going to be part of their competitive advantage.

Sure, and meanwhile these workers don't get paid anything. There are ways to fix things without shutting it all down.

Same arguments were used to suppose slavery. If we make slavery illegal, where will slaves work apart from cotton farms?

There are other jobs to do, it doesn't mean we have to allow blatant injustice to go on, in exchange for profits. All the while using a moral arguments to justify it.

My issue is claiming moral righteousness of the struggle of shopping for your own food after using a luxury shopping app. I pointed out that the article itself asked customers to use a workaround so both sides get what they want.

Frankly I don't care about this company but equating this to slavery just comes across as more of the same virtue signaling.

There appear to be plenty of other unethical companies to work for so this is unlikely to be a problem.

> arbitrary moral judgements

This is redundant. You are making a general argument here against making decisions based on your own morality.
