Annie Smith worked as a food-delivery driver for Postmates in Murrieta, California, from June to December 2020. Her former employment with Postmates has been verified and made known to Insider.
Smith, who said she was laid off from her full-time job amid the pandemic, launched her own marketing agency. While that was getting off the ground, she said she needed other revenue streams, so she turned to the food-delivery app Postmates.
While working as a driver for Postmates, she met people who made her smile and laugh, and who reminded her of how thankful she is for her life, Smith said.
"I wasn't expecting to have so many cool interactions with people," Smith told Insider.
Although Smith said she loved her side gig, she pointed out common mistakes she saw customers make while using Postmates.
