    Hey, I’m the first one in line to shit talk gig economy work. Christ, my ass got canned for being a highly internal visible leader, at large delivery service, who was constantly leading and highlighting internal research that showed big concerns with pay (or lack thereof).

    That said, if you want to know why orders without tips come cold, it’s primarily because low dollar amounts are undesirable to claim.

    DoorDash wants likes to dupe the customer instead of just charging the real full service price at checkout. $5 isn’t enough money for someone to want to spend 45min in time and gas for your burger.

      Every comment you post in this thread is coming off as apologetic and verbose, when we all know exactly why DoorDash is lying through their teeth here.

          Hey, if the upvotes like you restating the obvious, I guess that’s how this conversation goes. Keep strokin’ it. Somebody’s gonna enjoy it.
