Tipping ‘nudges’ are now popping up on DoorDash. If you don’t leave a gratuity, you’ll hear about it.::DoorDash is the latest delivery service to nudge customers who don’t tip. It shows how intrusive tip requests are, and how important tips are to gig workers.
At that point it’s not a tip it’s a delivery charge… just call it what it is.
But they won’t because then they’d have to pay tax… Although the taxman is going to notice sooner or later anyway…
the taxman does not notice, because the tax is paid. it’s paid by the drivers.
Tips aren’t taxed.
