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.

The reason they won't pay is specifically because people tip.

Well, and people are willing to roll the dice and accept work where tipping is an essential part of their income.

Forced to. People are forced into these jobs...

Stop perpetuating the system by accepting that it's required to accept these positions.

When there is no social safety net, and you need money to live you can't afford to be picky.
