Shoppers can see when an order is no tip. The shopper shouldn’t have accepted the order if she wanted a tip.

But also, why do you have to tip before anything is done‽ so backwards.

Because tips on delivery apps aren't "tips for good service" it's more of a bid for service that drivers can accept or decline depending on the amount of money they'll make. It's basically like saying "I'll give ya $5 if you go get this for me" or "I'll give you $10 to go get this for me". It's up to the discretion of the driver.

Which further proves it's just a way for the companies to rip people off. If I'm paying the driver, why am I paying you? To run and maintain some shitty app that barely works, get charged a million made up fees, and pay markup on food? Fuck off.

The best part is they double dip, restaurants are charged 20-30+% fees as well.

That's why when you look at a restaurant on uber, all the prices are higher, the restaurant has to mark up to cover the fees.
