“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.

    I would actually be interested in using an app like this where it’s truly a bid… Sounds interesting.

      I would argue that that’s what we already were supposed to have. Or at least that’s how it’s marketed to prospective drivers. And then they find out that Door Dash can make you hurt if you don’t want to drive 12 miles into a dangerous neighborhood for two dollars.
