Do you, as a person who delivers through DoorDash or UberEats or what have you, prefer to be tipped through the app or in cash?

    Over here in germany, tipping is synonymous with cash and using the tip feature of apps is frowned upon because it adds an unnecessary middleman.

    Not sure how transferrable that is to other countries, us germans really like cash.

      I was hungry once and ordered a lot of stuff from one place at lieferando. I was really looking forward to it and was in a good mood, so I pre tipped through their app. They cancelled my order but kept the tip.

      Never again.

        You won’t get a bad service if you don’t tip and in my student time I rarely tipped, but never had a bad experience with this. Now that I have the money, I usually have a batch of 5€ and 10€ banknotes with me, specifically for tips. I try to tip around 10% and the people usually are really grateful.
