DoorDash makes tipping an afterthought to protest New York City’s wage raise
theverge.com

"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.

Ah man this company is being a real cunt and for that reason we should reduce wages.

... What? What is the goal?

Shifting all of the cost of their employees on to you like any buisiness that can get away with it.

This doesn't do that though. It makes it harder to tip.
