For a lot of people, it's hard not to have a complicated relationship with food delivery apps like Uber Eats, Postmates, or DoorDash.
On one hand, they're incredibly convenient and have felt like lifesavers once the pandemic emerged. But much like in other sectors of the service industry, it's clear that the drivers who work for these services depend on customers' tips to make any kind of a living.
And when it comes to DoorDash specifically, customers who don't tip will often see some significant consequences in their wait times since the app lets drivers know ahead of time what they stand to make from a given delivery.
But another way that DoorDash differs from its competitors is that the drivers aren't the only ones who have to make these deliveries. And based on one engineer's incensed social media post, that fact isn't quite sitting well with some of the company's employees.
