"DoorDash and Delivery Apps Adapt Tipping Policies in Response to NYC Minimum Wage Law"

DoorDash and other food delivery services are updating their tipping policies in response to New York City's new minimum wage law for app workers. DoorDash and UberEats will no longer prompt for tips before delivery, instead holding back the tip prompts until after the food is delivered. The companies argue that the new regulations will increase costs and force operational changes, leading to higher prices and fees for users. New York City is the first to implement such a law, aiming to lift delivery workers out of poverty.
