The fees are so expensive that people don’t bother to tip anymore

[@xcqematic1]

This woman initially said the minimum wage would help delivery workers to not depend on tips. But immediately after shes complaining about not getting tips? Greedy mfs

They live in hotels and apartments for free and get three meals a day. All the money they make is sent back to their home countries.

[@Emmy-J]

That one guy said he has to support his family in his country. How is this good for the US economy if they are all sending money home while living off the taxpayers in shelters and all the rest of the benefits. The more of these people coming the more competition and less work available.

[@sthcalguy3024]

EVERYBODY needs to agree TO STOP TIPPING for anything.

[@user-jc7jb3bu5s]

Cooking is not hard. people are just lazy.

[@Kennypeagler]

By the time you pay service fees, deliveries, and taxes - your order is high. Look at what’s happening in Seattle right now.

[@DejiiJones_]

People are also forgetting another major factor why there’s less work…there’s thousands of new delivery workers…

[@chrischungy]

Work on delivery app is self contracted, so it makes no sense to get paid by the hour.

[@lenaprice6239]

When I was in H.S (in the 1990s) pizza delivery was primarily done by teenagers, who wanted a part-time job to make a little extra money to buy things at the mall, prom, etc. Times have certainly changed.

Consequences of listening to activists over economists

[@presidentpotato222]

Call The establishment directly .. save 40% easy peasy

[@CrabFiles]

The key "I have to support my family in my country"...

[@akui88]

I noticed a 5% increase in service fees from both doordash and uber eats. At that price point i will just pick up the food myself. Its delivery fee, plus 15% service fee plus sales tax, plus TIP….

[@iamcase1245]

They ignored the thousands of delivery guys in NYC that have basic economic knowledge and said this would lead to controlled hours and less tips. They IGNORED those delivery workers and now look. They're whining.

[@unlockdaknowledge5004]

Unfortunate saldy to say this.... delivery jobs arent meant to make a career. If nyc is too expensive for you maybe its time to leave.

[@RI-yf2uf]

The new pay standard is $17.96 a hour of active time not $29.93. The news should have reported on that to

[@Iamthatmanhim]

I was working these jobs before migrants came. Most of my friends too. All American citizens. These people messed it up for the American citizen that relies on these apps to make money.

[@chitoon100]

$20.00 a Hour and they want a Tip

[@christophersmith1155]

now that they $20.00 per hour , I dont need to tip.
