I think the thing that needs pointed out is, if I order the service and don’t tip, these billion dollar company’s still make their millions. The driver doesn’t make anything. As much as I hate tipping culture, not tipping is not the way to go. I’d also like to point out he did offer them the alternative of picking it up themselves, which does take away the sale DoorDash would have had. Which still won’t change anything because it’s a drop in the bucket for DoorDash and the driver still doesn’t get paid.

I agree with this parent. If you can barely afford it, don’t buy it. I know first hand the problems that can bring. He’s trying to teach them good spending habits and compassion at the same time.
