Topic	DoorDash drivers not taking orders unless they get a good tip prior
Sonic Cannon 11/27/21 5:22:49 PM #237:	MrDrMan posted... Id really like to hear the explanation of how people think companies could eliminate tips and keep prices in the same stratosphere. A server usually makes like $2 an hour base pay. To even make the job attractive theyd have to pay servers minimum $20 an hour. How do you accomplish that without prices skyrocketing which people will then complain about? It really isnt feasible. Restaurants operate on pretty thin margins as it is. I really dont understand why people would rather pay non-negotiable prices over just leaving a tip. Theres nothing better about not having an option. I say this from the perspective of a person who lives in a country where tipping has never been normal, and there has never been a second-class minimum wage for service workers. I don't know what prices are like at restaurants there, but here are some points for comparison: Minimum wage here is $20nzd/h (13.64USD). Most waitstaff will be on $20-25, with senior people (e.g. service manager) at higher end places on $30-40/h Prices in NZD (including all taxes - multiply by x0.68 for conversion to USD) for a main meal at a restaurant will be $13-20 at a somewhere like a family-run asian restaurant. $25-30 at a midrange place and $35-40 at a high end award-winning restaurant. Drinks will be ~$5 for non-alcoholic, $8-12 for a beer/wine and $15-20 for a cocktail. --- Keep it green. <cite>Sonic Cannon posted [p:960404473] in DoorDash d...
