Pardon any misunderstanding, but how is this different from normal tipping culture in the US?
According to https://www.minimum-wage.org/federal/tipped-employee-minimum-wage https://www.minimum-wage.org/federal/tipped-employee-minimum..., if a laborer accepting tips does not minimum wage during a time period of their work, their employer must compensate them up to minimum wage.
In other words, tips subside an employers obligation to provide a minimum wage- the same thing Instacart is doing, although instead of a minimum wage, Instacart uses a $10 minimum payment.
- Rebelgecko 8y agoIn many states, including the one where Instacart started, the minimum wages for tipped and untipped employees are the same. You can't pay someone less than $12/hr and hope that tips make up the difference, even if the the employer is willing to make up any shortcoming.
