I was using that as an example for every courier service in NYC charging a fee, and not operating under a tip based model.
As I said, my wife forgot her key this morning on her run. I'm already at the office. I can go back to Port Authority, get on the bus, go home, let her in, and then repeat my morning commute. Or I can log on to Uber, choose the Rush option, and pay about $20 to get some guy to come to me, where I hand him the key, and he gets it to her. I want a service, the service costs $20, and I pay for the service.
