“For most markets where DoorDash operates, customers are prompted to tip on the checkout screen, with a middle option already selected by default. If they want to, they can adjust the tip later from the status screen while awaiting their food, or even after it’s delivered. That’s changing today; while blaming New York City’s minimum wage increase for delivery workers, DoorDash announced that for “select markets, including New York City,” tipping is now exclusively a post-checkout option”

It seems so ridiculous given tipping fatigue, that DoorDash is making what should be a given sound like a negative.

      Wat. If an order isn’t getting delivered (your words):

      if a driver sees no tip, your order is last in line if it gets delivered at all.

      Than that’s an even BETTER reason that tipping should 100% be eliminated.

        And the best reason Capitalists should pay a living wage; not slum wages, actual living wages.
