Tipping 'nudges' are now popping up on DoorDash. If you don't leave a gratuity, you'll hear about it.::DoorDash is the latest delivery service to nudge customers who don't tip. It shows how intrusive tip requests are, and how important tips are to gig workers.

The workers would rather work for tips. You can hide a lot of income if your wage is primarily cash.

I'm pretty sure tipping them in the app does not get them a cash payout. Either way, supporting tax evasion doesn't seem like the best way to get people fair wages.

You are right, and it frustrates me.

I could never be in a job where I didn’t know I was going to have a consistent check. I work the same hours, let’s say, and because I didn’t get enough tips one week, I’m now behind on something or another. I truly think people are crazy to not want steady income.
