They raised the minimum pay and will still allow customers to tip after delivery. That’s a step in the right direction.

Yeah, you’re right. I’m glad that they’re paid more and I’m glad tipping is still possible but it just seems super uncool to remove the prompt.
I had an argument with a coworker once about their second job. They said they blacklist people who don’t tip them for delivering pizza. I was surprised and asked them to explain and they said that most of their money came from tips. Without it they made state minimum wage and the job wasn’t worth it.
I said they should be paid better.
My coworker responded that they are paid better by people tipping and that’s why they blacklist people who don’t tip.
I followed it up by pushing the idea that the restaurant should be paying them more so that the job is worth it without tips. And well… The whole thing devolved for some reason and almost ended with me getting punched.
Either way I think you should be paid a living wage and have the ability to get tips for going above and beyond. Tipping shouldn’t be the norm/required but it should be available and it sounds like it is in this case just a bit more hidden.

THEN their claim that they offer wages that…
…WITH TIPPING…
meet the min-wage laws,
no longer has any bearing.
Sue them to hell.

Umm that sounds like a good thing? People are being paid better and I don’t feel the weird feeling of tipping before anything has been delivered.
