    This is not even tipping anymore. This is paying to get normal service, not better service.

      That’s always been the exact problem with American tipping culture. When it’s expected to tip, you’re no longer doing it to get better service, just normal service - which means it’s just a hidden extra price.

      Focusing on the wrong issue, but you’re technically correct. You’re not tipping. You’re guessing at what door dash should be properly paying their employees instead of DD doing it themselves in your favor.
