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.

minimum wage at restaurants in washington state is $16.28 starting next year. It's $15.74 right now. They still expect a 18% tip. Should I just say fuck it and not tip?
Yes
my mindset is that if minimum wage is already a given, then I should be tipping a lot less than standard. Though doing so gets you shit treatment in future visits because tipping is more of a bribe than a remark on good service. Remarkable how all this works, isn't it?
If you're in Seattle - Is $15.74 a living wage? The general consensus on lemmy seems to be that making 150k/year in a high CoL area is a struggle. Imagine doing it on 30k/year.
