Favor, an on-demand delivery startup with 10,000 drivers, has an unusual policy: a minimum wage.
Like many “gig economy” companies, delivery services DoorDash and Postmates pay their drivers per delivery.

If it’s a slow day, and he waits 20 minutes between deliveries, he won’t be paid to wait for the next job.

With a new campaign, SheaMoisture is looking to break down these segmented categories and have all the beauty products displayed together.

One customer likened the gadget to a tub of hummus.
