Yes, employers should be paying delivery drivers way more instead of other working-class people making up the difference. Yes, the US system of tipping and the fact that service workers rely so heavily on tips is fucked up. No, that doesn't give you an excuse to not tip the person who's bringing you your treats.

Multiple people called this meme "ableist" and "classist" :agony-shivering: and even more are saying "delivery driving's way easier than making the food and sometimes they deliver it to the wrong place!!! so they don't deserve to be paid more!"!!

If your arguments sound exactly the same as a chud's, you are not a leftist, you are a propaganda mouthpiece for billionaires that would love to see you drop dead. Shut the actual fuck up you PMC radlib swine. /rant

    A lot of restaurants do that. You can get away with paying your worker $2/hr if they make up the rest through tips. If they don’t, then you pay the difference.

      As disgusting as the tipped minimum wage is, to me its different than what Door Dash did.

      I mean, they were successfully sued for tip theft.

          I mean I mostly just avoid these apps due to how expensive they make cheap food.

          But honestly when I use them I still tip in app because the idea that someone might briefly think that I would stiff them is emotionally unbearable. Also never have cash.
