“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.
I’m sorry but I don’t quite get it. Doordash is giving you “offers” that are so low, you’ll lose money on it. And instead of complaining to Doordash, you put it on customers to tip you more?
I can do both! Doordash really REALLY should pay more. But also, practically, I can’t take offers that are not worth it economically to do so. And I can only decide to do that with the information I’m provided before I take the offer.
I’ve been asked to drive a total of 24 miles (12 miles there and back) for $3.75 before.
