... tips plummeted when a new minimum-wage law went into effect in late 2023.

Huh.

Know how to avoid the tipping fee? Go to the store and shop for yourself. Even without this fee, the cost of Instacart was going to increase. Like most other services like this, they draw consumers in with a “free” or low cost service and once they hook them, the price starts going up and up and up.

Required tipping is simply wages, the government is requiring you to pay that company’s employee.

not to worry: all of these charges and mamdanitory fees hurt only the poor, elderly and disabled ... rich yuppies won’t even notice the difference ...

requires food delivery apps such as Uber Eats and DoorDash to provide customers a tipping option before checkout — and sets the default option to at least 10% of an order’s cost.

If you select zero, will you receive your food intact or unmolested?

The reason the “warm embrace of collectivism” is warm is because it is urine, dripping down your backside. And urine is the best of the options.
