I found a blog post that details the practice, including pointing out how misleading it is to the customer. https://doordashdriver.blogspot.com/2018/01/what-exactly-is-doordash-pay-boost.html https://doordashdriver.blogspot.com/2018/01/what-exactly-is-... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17789958 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17789958 If I were to use DoorDash, this would actually give me an incentive to tip $0 via the app, since, otherwise, $6 of my fees+tips would be going to the company instead of the Dasher. I'd rather tip in cash (which I do have on hand at home, though I'd expect not everyone does, especially their target market). Personally, I'd much rather have a delivery fee that translated to fair pay for the delivery personnel, instead of using tipping as an unreliable replacement for for/minimum wage. (At the risk of going off on a tangent, I'm OK with tipping for exceptional service/circumstances or for where there might be an extended/recurring service interaction, but I just don't expect that to be the case with "gig" delivery like this, unlike with traditional pizza delivery).
