For DD In Canada, you cant reduce the initial tip in the app/site.

You can add an additional Tip post order/delivery.

I have been tipping only like 50cents for down the road, to maybe 1.50/2$ for within 10 mins drive.

Haven't had issues receiving anyorders.

Plus it's not like you get tipped wages here in BC, but they did recent mandate a $21 delivery wage (2$ cad more than standard wage)

For long distance I have tipped more but I am reducing my tipping overall.

Like I am paying a BC bag fee to get a paper bag for 25 cents, well unfortunately that means I am paying 25 cents less for other things including tip

Ah, AFAIK the tip is hidden for the UK services. They’re also batched so the driver can’t know who tipped/what tip an individual order gave them. It sounds silly to show a tip on the order that can then change later.

Not with DoorDash, drivers recieve the tip no matter what. If you talk to support and get your tip refunded (for poor service or something), DD eats the cost.

> Tip baiting is when customers enter a certain tip amount when they order their food or groceries on a food delivery app like Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub or Instacart and then lower the amount or remove the tip entirely after they have gotten their delivery.

Maybe they changed policy at some point?

I'm not totally sure. There isn't a mechanism in the app to remove a tip as a customer. Drivers on DD-related subreddits say it isn't possible for a tip to be taken back.
