The tip absolutely goes to the dasher. The screwed up system aside you are only compounding the exploitation of the delivery driver.
Don’t use the app but don’t get mad at a system that you’re choosing to participate in and actively making worse.
I do things about it rather than sitting in the false comfort that I’ll be unaffected as a straight, white, male.
We’re not confused about why we do it. We’re aware that doing it has negative outcomes.
No amount of prolix explanation excuses even the act of stereotyping.
It may be impossible to avoid stereotyping entirely which is why people practice not doing it. You call this “politically correct”. I call it “behaving decently”.
If you take a service from someone that depends on your tips and you don’t tip them then you have exploited their labor. Not as bad as the company or CEO is but it’s exploitation nonetheless.
