    We should really not be normalizing calling money paid in advance to not have your food arrive late/cold a “tip”. It’s extortion.

    Tipping culture in America is fucked beyond belief. Pay everybody a fair wage and let’s get rid of tipping so nobody ever has to deal with this bullshit again.

      We should call it a bid, not extortion. You’re (in theory) competing to get your order selected.

      Exactly. I completely stopped using those food delivery services after the initial lockdown during COVID. They can almost double the price, can get cold food, and the drivers can be rude if they don’t feel you’re tip is adequate. It’s simply not worth it for me.
