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.
Stop attacking the drivers. If you’re upset about how door dash works, get upset at DOOR DASH itself, not the people they can’t seem to pay properly.
Stop using the service…
“Drivers will retaliate against you if you do not cover the part of their wage we refuse to pay them.”
There, fixed that for you, DoorDash.
Yea so I’m a driver and the characterization that it’s drivers retaliating against customers is… wrong. When we skip an order it’s because it will literally cost us money to deliver, and it’s DoorDash that we’re saying no to.
The problem isn’t the drivers, it’s DoorDash and their unwillingness to pay us appropriately. They’ve recently reduced the base payout to $2, and there’s no delivery where $2 is enough to cover costs of delivery, let alone make the extra few bucks that we’re doing this shitty job for.
DoorDash is actively disincentivizing drivers from taking orders that customers don’t tip on. Please don’t blame drivers for DoorDash’s shitty business practices.

If it’s to be paid before service, and to make sure it’s good service, then it’s not a tip. It’s a bribe.
More like blackmail, specially after this warning.
“that’s a nice lunch you got there. It’d be a shame if something happened to it” - door dash mobster
I always heard tips started as “To Insure Prompt Service” or something. Which is basically what you’re doing here with Door dash, so we’ve gone back to the root of tips.
Don’t like the concept, stop using the service. It’s that simple.
But also that annoying, because this model where your ““tip”” becomes a bribe is a cancer upon society that needs to be eliminated.
This implies that your food won’t arrive cold if you do tip, and that hasn’t been my experience at all.
As a driver for one of these apps it’s more of a bid than a tip. People send me bids to deliver their food and I deliver to the highest bidder. It sucks because that’s not what a tip is supposed to be and the majority of the delivery fee doesn’t go to the driver. That’s why I don’t really order from these delivery apps myself anymore.
Thanks for confirming something I thought true. I’ve always been a generous tipper not because I like tipping culture, but because in the absence of an alternative it seems awful to punish the people working hard to scrape together a living by catering to my laziness.
However, I’ve noticed that I almost always get food that’s ordered through these services very quickly – although my small sample size is anecdotal at best. But like you, I don’t order through the apps if I can help it.
I used to order meals sometimes through these kinds of delivery services but not anymore.
At first they were quite good but then they added extra “service fees” and the markup on the food increased, so did the delivery charge, it’s a joke now and I haven’t used them for a long time, and there’s no good reason to, now.
What kind of “tip” is paid upfront before the service is rendered?
All the ones that are ordered online?
Well that seems a little wrong doesn’t it
Tipping? Yes, very much. The entire concept is silly.
Paying your food order online? No. Why would you want it any other way?
The worst part is some lazy restaurants just link to doordash instead of paying proper delivery drivers so you can’t even avoid door dash if you like certain restaurants.
Fuck tips.
I simply take it as DoorDash warning that it provides poor service. Ok.
Tipping is literally becoming extortion now.
The end result of the tipping surge is going to be the collapse of all tipped work. People will stop using tipped services entirely and eventually the pyramid of wealthy users who can afford increasingly high tip is going to shrink.
That’s just all of late stage capitalism. Most industries are shrinking bc most people can’t afford to spend on much beyond the basic necessities of rent and food anymore.
I’m in the hotel industry and occupancy rates are declining, people just aren’t going out on vacation like they used to.
Inevitably any service tipped or not will be wealthies-only.
Part of it I blame on anti social behavior among people under 40. We have a lot of extreme social anxiety over simple things like talking on the phone which extends into a severe inability to date. When you have tons of incels that means that means that men and women can’t share the cost of housing and women have to work as much as men, which doubles the workforce. Obviously the solution is not to prohibit women from working, the way that people like Pim Tool like to imply.
I frequently find food bag have been opened when a doordasher delivers orders. It’s odd because the tracker typically shows the dasher stopping in weird residential areas and parking for extended periods of time.
You know how I know you don’t tip?
Call the spot, order it, and go get the food your fuckin self. Stop spending an extra 35% to have somebody working three jobs get it for you.
One of the many reasons I get my own damn food. I’m not paying out the ass for something I could do myself for half the price.
