DoorDash Changes Tipping Model After Uproar
I think North America really needs to re-evaluate this concept of tips. The rules of what to tip and when are intentionally vague because it's a sensitive subject.<p>We should move to "fair pay", that includes slightly increased prices, and do away with tips for most services.<p>It's so common that tips don't mean what the consumer thinks it means. Restaurants and bars that pool tips and share them with all staff.[1] Restaurant owners that try to keep some tips and only pay out a percentage to the staff.[2] Casinos pool tips too so the dealer doesn't get to keep the money you gave him directly.[3]<p>I get asked for tips at Starbucks. I get asked for tips when I do takeout food from the local restaurant. I get asked for tips at the buffet restaurant. The pizza driver gets a delivery charge AND a tip!<p>Let's clean it up and make it fair for the servers and the consumers.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.restaurantscanada.org/industry-news/aware-ontarios-tip-pooling-rules-regulations/" rel="nofollow">https://www.restaurantscanada.org/industry-news/aware-ontari...</a>
