DoorDash Inc. issued a response to a New York City law requiring delivery platforms to prompt consumers to tip at checkout, rather than after delivery. DoorDash argued that the law effectively turns tipping into an added tax, pressuring consumers during an affordability crisis and increasing delivery costs. The company emphasized that while tipping is still voluntary, mandated prompts and suggested tip amounts dictated by the City Council undermine consumer choice and drive up expenses. DoorDash also highlighted that Dashers in New York already earn a guaranteed minimum wage, often making nearly $30 per hour before tips, and asserted that consumers should decide if and when to tip, not the City Council. The company, along with Uber, has filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the law, stating their goal is to restore fairness and affordability to New York City's delivery market.
