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.

If you're drunk or stoned, it's much better to order some delivery than to drive anywhere.
Obviously you could plan ahead to avoid this, but I would rather have gig apps than impaired drivers on the road.
