Per your show on Friday, April 15, 2022, I think it should be cleared up to how DoorDasher actually works. I am a 5 star DoorDasher (5 is the Best). We receive orders in a que. We do not get to choose our clients. We are assigned to a delivery and we have a choice to accept it depending on miles and tips. If we don’t accept your order, we get rated & it is counted against us. We are spending our gas and miles on our car. We deliver your order knowing full well there may not be a tip afterwards if there is not one up front. And those clients usually do not tip at all. Restaurants are tipped after service. DoorDash should be tipped when you place your order considering the miles and gas we use so you don’t have to go out. You can change your tip after the delivery if you’re satisfied or not satisfied The only control I have as a dasher is what the restaurant gives me sealed up for your protection and mine. I wish I could choose the “good tippers” but we are not made aware of that. I LOVE Dashing and bringing you your order. I have found the majority of clients are very generous but also have made deliveries with zero tips. I pick up the order and I’m judged by DoorDash at what time it’s picked up and what time I deliver it to you. What are the expectations you have from your DoorDasher to do a tip afterwards? I would Love to be interviewed to clear up any misunderstandings about a DoorDasher and How it works for us. Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you!!
