It's usually both amusing and disappointing to visit some of the gig-worker communities (especially the doordash ones) where they complain about people not tipping enough to get their orders picked up and delivered. Those aren't tips anymore, they're bribes.
- rjbwork 4y agoThey're really more like...gas fees on the Ethereum chain, or spot electricity prices, I guess. It's a dynamically priced transaction fee based on instantaneous supply and demand. If you don't bid enough, you don't get your energy/money transfer/food.
- genocidicbunny 4y agoAnd that's perfectly fine by me, as long as they stop calling it a tip. Call it a 'delivery bid' and make it clear that if you don't bid enough, your order may be significantly delayed, cold, damaged or improperly handled, if delivered at all. Of course Doordash et al don't want to do that because the optics are pretty frakking bad.
