So, we passed a law increasing the minimum wage of delivery workers. The apps can either pay them $18hr, even when they're not delivering food or -- (edited) - Krusty Dec 4, 16:22 28
- I literally never get delivery because I cNt figure out how much to tip. -- nm - amandaphone Dec 4, 19:43 2
  - I literally never get delivery because why should I pay someone to do what I'm willing and able to do for myself? -- nm - znufrii Dec 4, 21:12
  - I usually give between $6-8 depending on distance. I give more when it's raining, snowing or frigid outside. -- nm - Krusty Dec 4, 21:11
- I've only ordered GrubHub maybe three times. Even with free delivery everything costs more. I can save $5+ depending on the order by picking it up - sycor Dec 4, 18:43 2
  - The convenience of having the food cooked and brought to my front door is worth the extra expensive to me. We order out less these days but we still - Krusty Dec 4, 21:13
  - I can pick up at a number of places within a mile. Just that one time I didn't even want to get the car out. Now I keep frozen dinners on hand. -- nm - Meg Dec 4, 18:55
- I ordered delivery *once.* The driver couldn't find my unit and didn't speak or understand English when he called for directions. - Meg Dec 4, 17:56
- Presumably this makes the app rates so untenable that people stop using them and the companies collapse. - Mop🧹 Dec 4, 17:14 3

    - Why? - zunk takes things literally Dec 4, 17:45 1
      - fuck Apps -- (link*) - hollywood big shot Dec 4, 17:47
- if it's a living wage, tipping shouldn't be required. -- nm - mafic Dec 4, 17:11
- I did that for about 6 months 2019-2020. This is great for the delivery people. I did grocery and probably 30% didn't tip. - zunk takes things literally Dec 4, 17:08
- higher wages are good but really should be cracking down on the usurious fees that apps extort restaurants into paying to play or die -- (link*) - hollywood big shot Dec 4, 16:29 9

      - cause me hungy nowwwww -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 16:44
- No tip. Tipping was intended to make up for the lower wage. That it's mutated beyond that is a bane. -- nm - TWuG Dec 4, 16:27 2
  - That's what I'm thinking. They get a fair wage so there's nothing to make up for. I can add at tip at the end if they go above and beyond - Krusty Dec 4, 16:46 1
    - This. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Dec 4, 16:57
- Pretty sure that at least for restaurant workers tipping is still going to be a thing since particularly at higher end restaurants minimum wage isn't - pmb Dec 4, 16:27 1
  - I don't see restaurants doing it unless they're forced to like with a law like this one for delivery workers. They can certainly do it. Just charge - Krusty Dec 4, 16:31
