>Tip in cash, square cash or Venmo
These workers are vulnerable, at the margins of their economy and are already suffering at the hands of a nation-wide refusal to raise the minimum wage to something livable so they can exercise genuine financial independence.
Please do not take advantage of the situation to force your favorite poorly-regulated finance app de jour on them by only tipping with venmo or square cash. There are a bunch of good reasons not to do this, such as the fact that if you choose venmo it's now necessary for your delivery driver to own a relatively expensive smartphone with a monthly subscription in order to receive your tips, but mostly it's just kind of an arrogant and dickish thing to assume other people don't mind signing up for all the services you use to receive your $5 tip, so please consider just using cash. You'd probably be pissed if someone told you they only tipped in litecoin and you should go download breadwallet.
- woah 8y agoWait. How did they use the delivery app without a smartphone?
- eeeeeeeeeeeee 8y agoTotally agree. People need to stop being lazy and justifying their support of unethical businesses by thinking tipping outside of the app fixes the core problem.
- zepto 8y agoMakes no sense since the DoorDash driver has a smartphone. Check your assumptions?
