Door Dash does give the whole tip (by their way if thinking). The driver will only get $1 base pay plus your tip as a guarantee on the delivery. The driver will never get below $6 for any one delivery. If you don’t give a tip, the driver will still get at least $6 on the delivery. I use to think the $6 was the base…

Two options: 1. Switch to another app. 2. Stop feeling guilty, and stop tipping, so you can side with those demanding higher wages, not tips.

Use Grubhub instead since they pay 100% of tips to drivers

Cash tips are taxable - not reporting them as income is tax fraud. Why should tipped workers be able to get away with tax fraud, and why do you support it?

There's this thing the old people call "money..."

I made a 8.99 order, in the end it almost cost 24$ in total, absolutely crazy. I was craving halal so bad and I just said “eff it”. My driver had a hard time finding the place (really weird spot and the address said it was on the  main road but actually off the main rd on super random side street) and it took a while…

Wait. So should I just tip my Dasher the money up front then? I assumed the driver was getting all of the tip from me. I feel really guilty now. What exactly should I do next time I use DoorDash?

Yeah, and doordash is not cheap. I used to go online, load up my cart, then bail when the fee+tip cost as much as my food and just go out. 

More and more cities need to get in the habit of requiring these tech leeches to follow labor standards consistent with traditional employers or else lose their right to do business within the city limits.

I generally like to tip in cash when I can.  That way, the tip isn’t taxable unless reported, and it goes directly into the server’s pocket.

So, the fee you pay upfront to for the order isn’t covering the pay of the drivers at all then. That’s shitty.

“hey spicy hot stuff. I see your meat is juicy.”

Does this apply to Uber Eats as well? Because I don’t like the idea of some stranger talking to my Doritos Locos tacos before I do.

But how is this any different than livestreaming yourself walking down the sidewalk and pointing the camera at interesting characters as they walk or pass by?  How is this different than live streaming a dude having a meltdown in a McDonalds?  If you’re in public, you have no privacy.  I guess this all hinges on…

I disagree, in the state where this occurred they have single consent, meaning that only the person who recorded it has rights to the recording and is the only person who can choose to deny it’s use. it isn’t privacy because it isn’t theirs to keep private. your uber car isn’t a bathroom/changing room or hotel so…

Uploading the video and sharing it with the public is a privacy issue. Which is stated in the article, if you actually read it.

Should I expect this any time I use Uber or Lyft?

I think it’s less the recording than the broadcasting, which can be touchy.

Even disregarding single or double consent laws for recording, is there even a reasonable expectation of privacy when you’re in a random stranger’s car? In my opinion, no. There are sensitive matters in all of our lives that we simply wouldn’t discuss in an Uber, Lyft, cab, bus, etc.
