DoorDash Tipping Pop-Ups Spark Debate Between Company, Drivers, and Customers Over Wages

DoorDash has added new pop-ups warning customers who don't tip that their orders may take longer. This has sparked debate between the company, drivers, and customers.

Tipping culture is controversial in the U.S., with nearly half of Americans tired of tipping, though tipped workers only make $2.13 an hour.

DoorDash's driver pay model is opaque and drivers often make around $1.45 an hour after expenses.

Customers are split on the new pop-ups, disagreeing on who's responsible for supplementing driver pay.

Some drivers welcomed the change, while others said it distracts from DoorDash's low base pay.
