DoorDash changes tipping policy after backlash over worker tips
DoorDash, a food delivery company, changed its tipping policy after backlash. The company had been using customer tips to offset its base pay to delivery workers, meaning workers did not receive the full tips. After public outcry and promises from CEO Tony Xu, DoorDash announced a new model where workers will keep all tips, effective next month.
