They backtracked on that years ago due to public backlash. That’s no longer the case AFAIK
Comment on As if the tip actually goes to the dashers.
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 months agoTypically? What door dash does is, if you tip 5 bucks, and the driver’s fee is five bucks, they take the fee back. At that point they’re loosing money, and door dash gets to say the tip goes to the driver.
(But the delivery fee doesn’t.)

That’s not how it works. I’m a door dash driver. We get a base pay, (usually $2-$3 per order but can be more if it’s peak hours) plus tip. The base pay isn’t affected by tips.
We see the total (base pay plus tip) when we are deciding whether to take an order. Orders without tips are rejected by most drivers.
