Comment on DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip
sugarfree@lemmy.world 1 year agoIt would be much worse for the drivers in that case because they would have to gamble on whether an order would be good to take or not. We’ve already seen something similar on Uber Eats where they allowed people to fully change tips retroactively, so people would get their orders accepted quicker with a large tip and then just remove it once they got their food.

It’s not a tip then. A tip is a reward for services rendered. A tip paid before services are rendered is not a tip. It is part of the bill.

Yes, exactly. They copied the traditional food delivery formula but should have modified it to fit the contractor model.

Whine some more then, it’s not going to change. It’s more important that drivers get paid than you saving a few bucks.
I get why people are annoyed by tips and why, but god damn some of you sound entitled as fuck on social media.

Tips are arbitrary anyway. Fuck tipping culture. I don’t get delivery because it’s too expensive and I can do it myself for cheaper. But if you want something and pay the bill that gets charged for the service then that should pay for everything including the employees.
