Reply to comment by [deleted] in i deliver full time on all 3 apps, doordash, grubhub, & uber eats i can answer any questions you below by [deleted]

All this will go away if the app will just charge a set dollar number based on distance ($5, $10,$15,$20 etc) without any expectation of a tip. But of course that will make things too easy for everyone involved.

They already do charge by distance, the tip is extra and optional

Increase the fee and remove the option to even tip. Pay higher salaries to deliverers. Customer is also happy because there is no ambiguity. Everybody wins.

it'd become too restrictive for the drivers. too many deactivations likely. or too low of a pay against the risk factors. nobody would do this job. lol

the apps would likely run out of money.

The tip isn't optional, because riders can't make a living wage without it. Change that, and remove the tip entirely. Cash still exists, if you gotta.

No gun to anybody’s head. Find another job ..oh wait, they got no skills.

I’m all for increasing wages but this tip nonsense and entitlement and guilting drives me up the wall. Tips have and always will, by definition, be optional.

Dude, if you can’t afford to tip, you can’t afford a luxury service. You aren’t entitled to someone else’s free labor. Go get take out if you can’t spend a few extra dollars on tip.

Absolutely, and I don't feel entitled to get the service (or "free labor" as you call it, which btw is $20 for a sandwich and bag of chips). Drivers have a choice, right? You see the total trip amount before accepting an order, don't accept it if your standards are too high and you don't need the money that bad. No pressure.

Let me decide what I want to do :) Just as you can decide to only delivery orders above your tip threshold - I think that's fair.
