Tipping 'nudges' are now popping up on DoorDash. If you don't leave a gratuity, you'll hear about it.::DoorDash is the latest delivery service to nudge customers who don't tip. It shows how intrusive tip requests are, and how important tips are to gig workers.

Generally agree, but if you use an app that only exists because of tipping being expected like food devliery apps, then if you don't put down a tip then no one is going to pick up your order. All they will see is a terrible pay for an order.

At that point, that's not a tip, that's a bid in a market. Maybe they should just rename the terms like a trading app.

In my country it is not expected to tip. Not in restaurants and not in delivery. Just pay your fucking employees. It's not that hard.

At that point it's not a tip it's a delivery charge.. just call it what it is.

But they won't because then they'd have to pay tax.. Although the taxman is going to notice sooner or later anyway..
