“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.
Waiting is also labor.
I am spending my time at a task I don’t want to be performing, because it is demanded as a condition of acquiring something I want.
Both are menial labors, requiring no skill. The only way to value them is by time, and “waiting in line” takes much more.
