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.

I view tipping as a form of hostage payment, I'll tip you today so you don't mess with my food tomorrow. My highschool time showed me how vulnerable people's food was to the whims of teenagers.

When a app nudges for tipping I just think they haven't set the right price for the service.

Luckily I live in a place without a tip culture now, so relaxing to know how much things actually cost.
