Oh, it’s 100% doordash’s fault. I completely agree. The base pay needs to be livable.

My point was that it’s not like a dasher is going to slow walk your burger because you didn’t tip. If they see a low payout, they don’t claim it.

DoorDash likes to guilt trip the customer into tipping, when they really should just pay better.

They know that by having a separate tip line, instead of one larger service fee charge, people get tricked into thinking delivery is more affordable than it is. It’s all a bunch of dark pattern shit that fucks over customers and drivers. We need regulations around this space.
