You might need to pre-tip to get good service.
DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip::The app-based delivery service is alerting customers that drivers may not take their order in a timely manner if there is no tip included upfront.

What kind of "tip" is paid upfront before the service is rendered?
Lots of places do this now, unfortunately.
Literally fucking every place now and I hate it. Ordering take out food that I am picking up myself? It's "swipe your card here and it's going to ask you a question". Literally everywhere. Even places designed to be walk-up and get your food and leave, like a local smoothie place or something.
All the ones that are ordered online?
Well that seems a little wrong doesn't it
Yeah... It doesn't make sense, it's either a fee, or it's as someone else here pointed out a bribe so they might go faster take better care of your food or take your order at all. But nothing ensures that if you pay first ..
Tbh I feel like tipping in general should end already... they only thing it makes is desperate people trying to get by instead of getting a proper income to begin with.
Tipping isn't going away because people who make tips, make a fortune, and they will fight tooth and nail to keep it that way. And that article is from before the lockdowns, when average tips were 10-15%, not the 25%+ now.
Also, so many businesses love the tip jar because they use it as a wage for employees. Lots of restaurants will advertise that they are offering 25% more than minimum wage, but when you get there it's "we pay minimum wage, but with tips included, it averages out to $X per hour" to match their advertised wage.

I just said that in the comment just next to that.
Tipping? Yes, very much. The entire concept is silly.
Paying your food order online? No. Why would you want it any other way?
The concept of tipping isn't silly at all, I'm not sure why NA doesn't seem to understand how it should work.
I'm fine with tipping, expecting it to happen or forcing it is the weird aspect here.
Why? There's no reason the tip can't be added after the delivery has been performed. You know, to incentivize good service, the whole point of a tip? If they already have your money why should they care how good their service is?
Are you for real? Like, how can you bootlick this hard over tipping?
How about you just do the fucking job I already paid for, you know, with the actual price of stuff. And if you service sucks, people won't order from you. No tipping required for the system to work.
Tipping rather than paying a living wage sucks balls, but if you're going to do it, it should at least be done the proper way rather than as an extortion before service is even performed.
Many restaurants where you order at the counter as for a tip when you pay.
