DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip::The app-based delivery service is alerting customers that drivers may not take their order in a timely manner if there is no tip included upfront.

    I wouldn’t call it retaliation. If one person offers you $10 and another offers you $15 for the same job, you’re going to opt for the one that pays more. That’s not the driver “getting one over”, it’s just basic economics. It’s not like Door Dash is going to make up the difference.

    In an ideal world they would remove any tip lines and just pay their workers a reasonable wage.

    But honestly I can’t wait for Zipline deliveries to become a thing.

      It shouldn’t be set up so the customer has to pay more to get good service. They should be able to add a tip afterward if they choose.
