You might need to pre-tip to get good service.

DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip::The app-based delivery service is alerting customers that drivers may not take their order in a timely manner if there is no tip included upfront.

    This implies that your food won’t arrive cold if you do tip, and that hasn’t been my experience at all.

      Same. I’ve almost completely stopped using these delivery services because of the extreme costs and middling performance.

      When people constantly complain about how underpaid they are doing this job, I realized that I don’t want to pay what people actually want to get paid for this service, so I’ll just stop. Like paying 15 fees and tip is already too much for only 1-2 peoples worth of food. I’d consider it less painful for 6 people’s dinner.

        Turns out there’s a reason that getting anything and everything delivered on demand hasn’t ever worked. It’s not a function that is worth the cost to very many people.
