DoorDash will steal from their workers tips if you pay it in-app.

The societally disruptive idea of not paying your workers is the great "innovation" of the gig economy. The oldest grift there ever was.



Seems like the better advice is to not use Doordash. Doordash likes it when you let them advertise lower prices and then help pay for their labor costs via unstated cash tips. Workers might like it too to avoid taxes, but that’s opposite to my interests.


Yes, I agree, but that's the reason why people are recommending to not tip in-app.
