"For most markets where DoorDash operates, customers are prompted to tip on the checkout screen, with a middle option already selected by default. If they want to, they can adjust the tip later from the status screen while awaiting their food, or even after it’s delivered. That’s changing today; while blaming New York City’s minimum wage increase for delivery workers, DoorDash announced that for “select markets, including New York City,” tipping is now exclusively a post-checkout option"

It seems so ridiculous given tipping fatigue, that DoorDash is making what should be a given sound like a negative.

The way I see it, I'm either going to be "checking out my groceries", or I'm going to be "standing in line", watching a cashier work.

I don't see a compelling reason why I should spend more of my valuable time waiting and watching someone do a job than just doing that job and moving on with my day.

naw, man. Look at it this way: if you're checking yourself out, you're doing labor for them. Maybe every once in a while, you pay yourself a candy bar. Because fuck'em.

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 1 points 11 months ago

Waiting is also labor.

I am spending my time at a task I don't want to be performing, because it is demanded as a condition of acquiring something I want.

Both are menial labors, requiring no skill. The only way to value them is by time, and "waiting in line" takes much more.
