“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.
Isn’t it the purpose of a “food delivery service” to have “someone deliver the food”? Why should anyone need to pay extra to get people to do the bare minimum?

Exactly, they are contractors accepting your bid to do the job, the price it takes to get a delievery is dependant on what the contractor is willing to accept.
