How is that any different than a doordash driver knowing where the customer lives? I really fail to see any meaningful distinction here.

Well for starters, one is an "employee" (contractor) who signed up to do that work specifically and has been verified that they can do it. The second example is just a customer walking around a store.

That is a good point. I guess walmart customers could go through an approval/training process if they want to earn some extra cash as wal-dash contractors too.
