This is also the implied response of every doordash delivery person everytime I pay $35 for what shows up as a cold—ass paninni 75minutes after my order and I've irrevocably "pre" tipped them 18% for the delivery.

I'm pretty sure you can adjust the tip after delivery.

Also, the 18% is likely why your food is cold. Dashers are expecting over 25% now (which is part of why I stopped using them).

You're lucky that the food being cold is all that's wrong, because some entitled assholes will fuck with your food if the tip isn't high enough (even though they accepted the job knowing the tip)

Really don't think you can adjust it anymore, think that was an old feature. I assumed they were blinded to the tip - you are saying the tip amount actually acts like a bidding war for even getting people to accept the order? That's even poorer design than I thought.

UberEats still allows it, I believe. But people abuse that feature by "tip baiting" someone to take their order, then removing the tip after the driver has already spent the time, gas, and effort to deliver it. The driver could spend an hour on the order and only make $2.50 during that time, minus the cost of gas. Happens a lot with orders that are several miles away from the restaurant especially, because no one wants to pay enough to make the trip worth it for the driver.
