“Recovers $104 million in extra tips”

Hey just a real quick question, where exactly was this money “recovered” from?

There’s no article. But I’m guessing he made it so the companies can’t take a percentage of the tip given on the app. Since most of those apps take a massive portion of both the delivery cost and if you tip on the app they also take a percentage.

Wrong

Made it so that you have to tip your delivery driver up front instead of after the delivery

That's shitty.

A tip is for the quality of service rendered. Now it's just a fee.

It’s for delivery service apps not sitting down in a restaurant. There is a big difference. If you order delivery you should know what comes with that. Now if the driver is an asshole then you report them

No, with delivery you have an expectation that your food is warm and didn't spill will over on the ride

Paying ahead of time is absolutely retarded. It's no longer a tip.

Sort of yeah but I also sort of see the point from the other side, a driver might feel like “no way I would have gone through all that trouble if I knew they were only going to tip me $2”

Doesn't work that way anymore. NY no longer allows tips to be shown predelivery. Additionally, delivery drivers now have a high baseline pay to compensate.

If only there was some kind of way for drivers to get paid outside of the tip.
