- tedivm 7y agoSounds like it's a good thing that we're seeing more reporting on it then.
- zzzeek 7y agoI think the thing that's making it look a lot worse for Doordash is their hypocrisy in things like this: https://blog.doordash.com/introducing-project-dash-bbc61ac0cb8c https://blog.doordash.com/introducing-project-dash-bbc61ac0c... the critique goes : 1. rip off workers 2. workers are poor, cant afford food 3. launch BS "anti-hunger" initiatives which address about 1% as much hunger as they cause, but make customers feel like they are doing a good thing using the service. it's not unlike how big oil companies like BP run tons of advertisements how they are so "invested" in renewable energies like solar, spending a tiny fraction of the money they gain by profiting off of generation of greenhouse gasses and also dumping millions of gallons into the gulf of mexico every now and then.
- rhizome 7y ago"restaurants" do not normally do this because it's illegal in most places for people not involved in the service to take any portion of a tip, and a lot of people know this. those that don't often find out quickly when they tell their stories at the bar or wherever.
