It's not that you don't get to keep your tips, it's that your tip goes towards the guaranteed hourly rate. And it's not at all uncommon, and certainly not unique to GrubHub. In many cases jobs that involve tips will guarantee earning $X/hour, and if you don't pull enough in then the store will kick in the extra. I think it's the same with GrubHub. They don't pay you $10/hour, they guarantee that at a minimum you will earn at least $10/hour in tips + delivery fees + mileage.
