The change is to keep things “affordable for all New Yorkers.”

“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.

    That will never happen, because the truth is that these folks do make more from tips than they would from any sort of overall wage increase. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, tip-receiving workers tend to favor the tipping system in my experience.

    This is a major reason why I, personally, don’t tip. Those who like working for tips need to understand that they are not entitled to tips.
