Tipping 'nudges' are now popping up on DoorDash. If you don't leave a gratuity, you'll hear about it.::DoorDash is the latest delivery service to nudge customers who don't tip. It shows how intrusive tip requests are, and how important tips are to gig workers.

The fact I'm getting asked to leave a tip before the service is rendered is what drives me really nuts. I've tipped on things and got terrible service and there is no way to adjust your tip down (and it can even be hard to increase it if they really do go above and beyond in some way).

It’s very easy to increase the tip.

Tip in cash. Never use the app to tip. When the item gets to you have a cash tip ready, if you want to tip. Nice thing about cash, if they don’t want to report the tip, there’s really no way to prove the tip was given.

The best thing about gig deliveries is dropoff service imo. I never see the driver so cash isn't an option. Uber eats at least makes it easy to adjust tips and I often do adjust if surprisingly early or if they forget a drink.
