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.

I've never used one of the delivery services, I doubt I ever will. I haven't been to a restaurant or a movie theater since the troubles, I don't see myself going back, neither have anything to offer me I can't have better at home.

Sounds like it is annoying even if you tipped well to start with. Glad I stopped using those apps a while ago. The only value they have to me now is to browse local restaurants when I can't think of a place to go. And a lot of times I just end up eating at home anyway.

Easily the app with the worst delivery service quality, in my experience, now also pushing hardest for gratuities... You're fired.

As soon as the pandemic was considered done, I’ve just deleted those awful apps. They overcharge you for the products, they stack on a bunch of bullshit fees, and they guilt you into tipping for the 50% chance that you get your order in a reasonable time and without things missing or wrong.

First I don’t use door dash.

Second I basically tip when I get excellent service. A tip is not given in the service isn’t great. If it’s average service then you might or might not get a tip depending on my mood.

The tip isn’t a replacement for a wage.

Edit to add . If I am having something delivered, the tip is in cash at time of delivery, NOT in advance. Why would I tip before I even get the item?

I use these as a central place to create an online order for pickup.

Make sure you're comparing the price on DoorDash vs the price on the restaurant's website. There's a mark-up, even for pickup. It's usually cheaper to make your order directly with the restaurant.

Yeah but then I have to call them

This makes no sense to me. When you submit the order, it gives you the option to add your tip. 0% is not an option. Though I did notice recently the option for an additional tip.
