10. Simple solution, the apps should not tell the driver the tip...

Oh, so he/she can get nothing for his /her work huh. Well let them eat cake I guess...personally I am against Demsrule86 Sep 2023 #47

I use DoorDash quite a bit lillypaddle Sep 2023 #28

Dashers here would refuse an order with a 2.00 tip. Demsrule86 Sep 2023 #37

Those Dashers should be fired lillypaddle Sep 2023 #42

No they shouldn't. The company does not pay for their gas or time...if the person ordering the food can't Demsrule86 Sep 2023 #43

I tip more than 20% at a restaurant...you know they get less than minimum wage right? Demsrule86 Sep 2023 #45

But you still order from them? Demsrule86 Sep 2023 #46

I got to tell you, I would deliver nothing to you...not anything. So you thinks waiters in a restaruant work harder than Demsrule86 Sep 2023 #48

Make it mandatory that minimum tip is boston bean Sep 2023 #39
