"DoorDash is putting pressure on consumers to tip with a new prompt. It's causing a backlash among some drivers and consumers.

Last week, some customers on DoorDash received an alert when trying to place an order without a tip: "Orders with no tip might take longer to get delivered — are you sure you want to continue?"

Some Dashers, or drivers, said the new prompt was another example of DoorDash asking customers to subsidize driver pay.

"The consumer is pushed to subsidize continuously lower base fares by DoorDash over the past few years," Sergio Avedian, an industry advocate in Los Angeles for gig drivers, said. "Pay me what I'm worth. Don't just go around and ask other people to take care of your business."

even without the tip with all the fees it's just too much money for regular use imo

think ive got food delivered like that maybe a dozen times and its always cuz im super f***ed up and at that point im like "yeah this is the drunk tax lol"

DoorDash asks customers to pay the restaurant, pay the DoorDash execs, pay the app devs, and pay the drivers’ salaries

not a sustainable business model at all

only way it works is as a non-profit

F*** Doordash, F*** Ubereats, F*** Postmates, F*** Grubhub, and if you wanna be down with them then F*** YOU TOO

Abolish food delivery apps

CHINO XL?!

loll yll so extra

I got hit with a second tipping prompt after delivery even though I already put in a tip with the initial order.

It’s time to fight back…

😈

I'll give em a tip alright.... 😈

🍆

get your fat ass up and walk to a local spot

Man I HATE tipping so much bro

Gonna start popping some rhinos before I answer the door

They tried defaulting to a $9 tip on my last order of like $40

Not tipping is ghetto

Grow up!

Idk the amount of quality delivery based restaurants that went out of business in my city is way too high because of these apps

real

DJ Envy avy

way more than 300 we’re at like 3000 by now

The point of these apps was to have so many costumers the fees would be cheap af because one driver would deliver to many ppl in one trip and it never happened so now they’re in a dead end and we have to kill them

Real. So many fees so little time

Doordash is a completely unsustainable business and it's only gotten this far because of the VC backing.

Having someone personally fetch you some food and bring it to your house is a luxury service that is impossible to make affordable unless you are ripping off either the worker or the customer.
