I used DoorDash today and the add tip screen said that 100% of the tip goes to the driver. I know they got a lot of bad PR for stealing part of the tips some time ago and had to make public statements about improving their policies. Are we saying that even after all that, they’re just outright completely lying?
Before they also said the driver got 100% but behind the scenes they were essentially subtracting that amount from what they were going to pay the driver originally. Thus they could claim the driver got 100% of the tip while still pocketing the value of it.
This is tip culture standard. The company is only required to pay enough such that tips plus pay meet minimum wage. CEO's should have to work for tips given by their employees in order to earn over minimum wage, change my mind.
no that is the truth, what it doesn't tell you is that the drivers are paid like 2.50 to 3 bucks per delivery. so tips makes up the majority of their earnings at this point.
I don't think anyone can outright say that they're lying with any amount of certainly, but it would be very very far from the first time a company got caught in a scandal then just lied about how they're going to fix it.
I don't understand why people want food delivery.. It is kinda expensive and I don't get it unless there is a significant discount.
You don’t… understand? That people want food but don’t want to go out? This really isn’t rocket surgery.
It's expensive.. I could just drive the 2 miles or toss something in the air fryer rather than worry of someone messed with my food
Some people don’t have cars, are elderly, too young to drive, disabled…
Some people have a lot of disposable income and don't care that their $7 meal at Taco Bell costs $17 to get it delivered, too. I think it's a bit crazy but it's their money.
and not one of those groups of people should be eating the shit food that gets delivered by these places.
This is a very bizarre contrarian hill to die on for you. You know that any restaurant can have delivery right? It’s not all Taco Bell lmao.
you realize that ANY restaurant isn't going to be 'good' food right?
Lol sure. Whatever you say. The hills you are prepared to die on are utterly bizarre.
ok buddy. im not saying i don't eat out, but it's ALL shit food. you have to know this right?
For example, I literally have COVID right now so I'm stuck at home. I'm running out of food (I got sick on the day I do my weekly shopping) plus I don't want to cook or drive because I feel like twenty pounds of shit in a ten pound sack. My wife has work, school, and two stupid dogs to care for, so she's already stretched, plus I don't want her to push herself harder in case SHE gets sick too. I usually get our own food but I'm happy to pay someone to deliver right now.
People place different values on time, money, energy, etc. Just because you find it too expensive for the effort, doesn't mean someone who has more money and less energy would make the same judgement.
Sounds like you're telling me that everyone doesn't share my exact thoughts, beliefs, and opinions. That's crazy, sir/madam.
That kinda talk will get me shot!
Is it that hard to understand that some people just value convenience?
People are lazy
I think its handy when I'm sick. Just last week i got delivery because i felt so shitty i could barely get out of bed.
Some people have family and/or work obligations and can't just fuck off for an hour to get a cheeseburger.
