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.
- Ban tipping as a substitute for min wage.
- Ban tipping companies,
- Allow tipping people.
Until then, tip people with cash.
Generally agree, but if you use an app that only exists because of tipping being expected like food devliery apps, then if you don’t put down a tip then no one is going to pick up your order. All they will see is a terrible pay for an order.
In my country it is not expected to tip. Not in restaurants and not in delivery. Just pay your fucking employees. It’s not that hard.
i know, that doesn’t matter though does it, if you engage with a gig economy it doesn’t matter what the tipping system is in your country. your food order is essentially a job that anyone can choose to pick up or not pick up, and because the payment rates are so low from uber and the like they will only take orders with good tips.
so basically, if you don’t want to tip, don’t engage with gig economy companies. but if you do engage with gig economy companies you have to tip.
At that point it’s not a tip it’s a delivery charge… just call it what it is.
But they won’t because then they’d have to pay tax… Although the taxman is going to notice sooner or later anyway…
the taxman does not notice, because the tax is paid. it’s paid by the drivers.
