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.

Any method of paying workers more necessitates customers paying higher prices. The money is always going to come from the customer

Restaurants, specifically, have razor-thin margins.

You act like we're not paying higher prices

My sandwich isn't 12, it's 13.50. The drink wasn't 4 it was 5.

The higher prices are there but the owner doesn't get taxed on it

I'm not acting like that at all.
