Tipping just needs to be illegal. This is getting out of control. Pay people a fair wage.

But people aren’t paid fair wages, so I try to be generous when and where I’m able to.

Something something free market, if no1 wants to do a job for what you’re paying capitalism would dictate you go out of business. But in reality there’s always a sucker to take advantage of

What’s difference for you the customer though? You pay more up front to cover their wage Or you tip to cover their wage

There’s no guessing and bad feelings involved. A person’s liveliness isn’t dependent on some random person being socially polite.

What guessing or bad feelings? Tip a standard amount and move along. Tip more if you feel like it. Easy

I mean… literally what OP is asking. What is “standard” for food delivery apps? Is the “standard” at a chili’s the same as that of a fancier restaurant? At a bar?

And again, someone’s livelihood shouldn’t be dependent on random people’s social politeness.

I’d rather see my money go toward better wages for workers than enabling the corporation to “increase shareholder value” through stock buybacks.

Gas stations in NJ are a great example that giving people a wage WOULD NOT necessarily mean a big price increase for the customers. I go to another state a lot, where the gas stations don't have attendants, and the gas prices there are the same or higher than those back home in NJ. I am not saving money by losing the gas attendants' service.
