Tipping ‘nudges’ are now popping up on DoorDash. If you don’t leave a gratuity, you’ll hear about it.::DoorDash is the latest delivery service to nudge customers who don’t tip. It shows how intrusive tip requests are, and how important tips are to gig workers.

    We get asked for tips here in Australia where we have a minimum wage and no tipping culture - it’s rubbish because we don’t need to subsidise people’s income at all, but the app doesn’t differentiate countries customs it seems. Uber’s apps are the same always asking for tips despite minimum wage….

      You’re tipping the driver and not the restaurant. The driver is making gig pay and not minimum wage.

        The expectation though in Australia is that the employer (Uber etc) is paying fair compensation for the services provided so a tip is not necessary.

        They are actually paid $25 an hour here in Australia- how is that only “gig money”?

        Again, tipping is not a thing in Australia and should never be expected by drivers who actually choose to do this sort of work….
