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.
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.
