Is UberEats on strike in Spokane today?

Did you tip? I think drivers only get paid 1.50-2$ to deliver an order, so if there wasn’t a tip it probably wasn’t worth it for someone to drive there pick it up and deliver it and drive back.

Tipping discourages the service industry from making necessary changes to pay their workers fairly and create a more equitable work environment. When customers are expected to tip, it creates a situation where employers can pay their workers below minimum wage, under the assumption that they will make up the difference in tips. This practice perpetuates a system of exploitation, where workers are not paid fairly for their labor and customers are expected to fill in the gaps.

Overall, the practice of tipping can undermine the industry's motivation to create a more fair and just system for workers, as it allows employers to avoid paying their workers fairly and creates an unequal power dynamic between workers and customers. Instead, the industry should be encouraged to pay workers a living wage and provide them with benefits, job security, and a safe work environment.

While it is true that some delivery drivers may prioritize deliveries from customers who tip, it is not ethical for drivers to refuse a delivery based on the absence of a tip. Delivery drivers are paid a base rate for each delivery, and it is their job to deliver food to the customer regardless of whether a tip is given. That being said, it is important to recognize that the responsibility for paying workers a living wage falls on the employers, not the customers.
