“For most markets where DoorDash operates, customers are prompted to tip on the checkout screen, with a middle option already selected by default. If they want to, they can adjust the tip later from the status screen while awaiting their food, or even after it’s delivered. That’s changing today; while blaming New York City’s minimum wage increase for delivery workers, DoorDash announced that for “select markets, including New York City,” tipping is now exclusively a post-checkout option”
It seems so ridiculous given tipping fatigue, that DoorDash is making what should be a given sound like a negative.
I prefer the option to check myself out. I’m not sure why you’re trying to argue about “resigning to checking yourself out” to people who like it. Those self-checkouts that weigh everything are awful but I haven’t seen one of those in a while.
I don’t go grocery shopping for service. I go to get my groceries and go home. I am capable of scanning my own groceries and prefer not gambling on if the bagger knows what they are doing.
I prefer scanning my own groceries to the point where if there’s a line for self-checkout and an open staffed checkout, I’ll have a closer look at the self-checkout situation and will wait if it looks like it won’t take very long.
Unless it’s Walmart as their self-checkout is usually a busy mess and more fickle than the ones at the grocery stores I go to.
