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.

  • Ban tipping as a substitute for min wage.
  • Ban tipping companies,
  • Allow tipping people.

Until then, tip people with cash.

Generally agree, but if you use an app that only exists because of tipping being expected like food devliery apps, then if you don't put down a tip then no one is going to pick up your order. All they will see is a terrible pay for an order.

At that point, that's not a tip, that's a bid in a market. Maybe they should just rename the terms like a trading app.
