You might need to pre-tip to get good service.

DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip::The app-based delivery service is alerting customers that drivers may not take their order in a timely manner if there is no tip included upfront.

    It’s not a tip then. A tip is a reward for services rendered. A tip paid before services are rendered is not a tip. It is part of the bill.

      Whine some more then, it’s not going to change. It’s more important that drivers get paid than you saving a few bucks.

      I get why people are annoyed by tips and why, but god damn some of you sound entitled as fuck on social media.

      You can’t have it both ways. If drivers get paid a living wage it’s still going to come out of your pocket one way or the other.

        Tips are arbitrary anyway. Fuck tipping culture. I don’t get delivery because it’s too expensive and I can do it myself for cheaper. But if you want something and pay the bill that gets charged for the service then that should pay for everything including the employees.

      Yes, exactly. They copied the traditional food delivery formula but should have modified it to fit the contractor model.
