“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.

    If you’re drunk or stoned, it’s much better to order some delivery than to drive anywhere.

    Obviously you could plan ahead to avoid this, but I would rather have gig apps than impaired drivers on the road.

            I’m sorry, have you actually had mostly pleasant experiences with real humans? Must be nice. Are you with the life complaints department? Yes I’ve had multiple bad interactions with real people and would like to file a complaint.

        You are being voted down by people like me who generally try to shun interaction with other people. I’m no misanthrope, but in my 30+ years of living I’ve not met many people I would always interact with when I have a choice.

        If the establishment has their own online ordering system, I always try to use it rather than things like door dash. If they don’t, I will not call them instead. Maybe that’s just me though
