I’d be one of the last to defend tipping culture… but.
>”What’s really happening is the DCWP wants to pressure consumers to tip even more,” DoorDash spokesperson Samantha Ramirez wrote in a statement. “As we’ve said, forcing people to tip may as well be a tax.”
And…
>The average tip for DoorDash and Uber Eats drivers in the city fell from $2.17 to 76 cents per delivery after the companies made the changes to their apps, the report found.
Guys, delivery drivers, at best, do 2 deliveries an hour. The average was $2.17 before this change, in a VERY high cost area with VERY high wages. Knowing how poorly these guys are tipped I honestly don’t know why anyone does the work. If you can’t tip a delivery driver who is using their personal vehicle for the work 3-4$, you shouldn’t be ordering delivery. Get off your fat ass and go get the food yourself.
We constantly hear about a cost of living crisis, but look up what the average person now spends on Food delivery, a service that no one needed and did not exist just 5-6 years ago. For some age demographics its close to $500/month. As it as, Prepared restaurant food costs 8-10x Food prepared at home, by adding delivery service, you are basically doubling that.
The amount of people who complain about a cost of living crisis, but also pay 20x grocery prices for food is too damn high.

… Chiseled them out of tips?
Comment not long enough so I’m adding in more words to day that this headline is really fucking dumb. I don’t even think AI is dumb enough to write something like this. There. Is that long enough now?
