Tipping 'nudges' are now popping up on DoorDash. If you don't leave a gratuity, you'll hear about it.

DoorDash is the latest delivery service to nudge customers who don't tip. It shows how intrusive tip requests are, and how important tips are to gig workers.

well that's the end of dardashian GrubHub for me I'm tired of that shit
Imagine not wanting to tip your door dasher
Imagine wanting a tip for doing the bare minimum at your job. I tip mine because I always leave instructions (no doorbell kinda thing). But guess what, you don't follow simple instructions, you don't get a tip. Door dash is already paying you to deliver the food, you want me to also pay? If door dash wants people to continue delivering food, it's got to be worth it for those people. If other Americans are stupid enough to keep perpetuating this well then I guess we deserve whatever's coming.

I guess gas comes free where you're from.
I know what you've s saying, but as someone who has done that kind of work, an optional payment shouldn't be required to cover something essential for the job. Gas to make the delivery should be covered by whatever payment they will already receive from the delivery. The tip should be something that is nice for the driver to get, and the company that uses their labor should pay them what is required to do that labor.
You put it in a much better way really now that I really think about it. Thanks
It should be free to the driver, along with the vehicle. Why is a worker putting miles and paying maintenance for an employer? Should we be expecting truck drivers to pay for their vehicle (which is sadly often the case)?
Just cause it is doesn't mean it ain't bullshit.
Imagine every place you ever went, no one was paid by their "employer" and you had to just pay everyone yourself
Fucking nightmare
Pay your employees. Charge me enough so it works out. That's it. That's all I want
Tipped jobs make significantly more with a variable income rate than a flat.
Congrats, you found the problem!
That's a feature not a bug. Why do you want people to make less money?
Is it about helping out workers any more? Or is about companies - often big, profitable companies - not paying their employees a livable wage and pressuring customers to come to the rescue? At the very least, the situation is so confusing now that it's impossible to tell whether a tip is a legitimate thing to do, or whether it's giving in to corporate greed and cynicism.
Just to clarify, I worked in food service as a tipped employee from age 15 into my late 20s. I totally get it, and I always tip waiters, taxi drivers, and other traditionally-tipped employees. But I don't know what to do when everybody expects a tip. And when corporate money-lords add their voices to pressure me, it just sounds too cynical.
Any method of paying workers more necessitates customers paying higher prices. The money is always going to come from the customer
Restaurants, specifically, have razor-thin margins.
You act like we're not paying higher prices
My sandwich isn't 12, it's 13.50. The drink wasn't 4 it was 5.
The higher prices are there but the owner doesn't get taxed on it
I'm not acting like that at all.
