“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.
As someone who’s first job was washing dishes, I would argue it’s more than 3 times if it’s even a moderately busy restaurant. I have a cushy office job now and hands downs I still think waiters work insanely hard, especially because they’re on their feet all day.
