“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.
The way it stands right now, where base wages are not sufficient, is specifically because of tipping. Until people stop tipping, employers will continue to use it to subsidize wages that they should be paying. Whereas if people stopped tipping, the employers could not do that.
Accelerationism 😒
Bit of both… it’s a choice between that or acceptance.
Or you could just refuse to use those services!
There’s no need to make someone your slave and then refuse to tip. Just do your own fucking groceries lol
lol I live in bumfuck nowhere so I don’t already. Also am no yank.
I absolutely agree with this. and I know that one of the ways to force employers to pay them fairly is to not tip. there’s still some problems with it, cause first of all minimum wage in the US is horrid, it’s not enough for living at all. but secondly, if everyone were to stop tipping immediately, workers might make lesser than they already are. a better way to go about it is to increase minimum wage to begin with. of course, not really possible IRL so I guess you’d see both happening simultaneously.
