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.We should move to "fair pay", that includes slightly increased prices, and do away with tips for most services.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]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!Let's clean it up and make it fair for the servers and the consumers.[1] https://www.restaurantscanada.org/industry-news/aware-ontari...
