“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.

    Yup same, my bare minimum was 9$ on the guaranteed screen so that worked out to about a 6.50$ tip from the customer (Assuming DDs totally reasonable 2.50$ base pay…)

    Ofc I also maintained 1-2$/mile minimum (depending on my mood lol) so if you aren’t within a couple miles that guaranteed order amount would need to increase accordingly.

    DD should just call “tips” what they really are, a blind bid.
