I've known about this for a while but really didn't think about posting it until now. For those of you who use food delivery apps like DoorDash, UberEats, GrubHub, etc., you're likely being cheated out of money if you're not doing your own math when tipping.
The next time you go to add a tip, calculate it yourself. What you'll likely find is the tip is being calculated based on the final subtotal, which includes fees and tax.
I ordered some food this week and it told me a 15% tip should be $5.81 on my order.
Sure, if you add 15% on top of the service fee and tax. I'm not tipping for the privilege of paying a fee and being taxed.
If you add 15% to the subtotal before fees and taxes, then a 15% tip is actually $5.10 rounded up.
The app tried to cheat me out of $0.71. It may not seem like much but it adds up, and it's the principle of it all more than anything. Check your math before you confirm your order!

Quit being a cheapskate round that tip up to 6 dollars
You're right, I should've just rounded it up. I think I was just trying to justify it at the time since the place was close and I was trying to have that done while I got the kids ready for bed.

I only say that because I'm a DoorDasher.. 😆
It's a fair criticism regardless. Rounding up won't kill me and it helps someone else who's doing honest work.

Then it's same as turning of 10% beneficiary of leofinance everytime :)

Thanks for staying active. Your GLD activity distribution of 0.0108 GLS has been sent.
Yeah, that's super annoying and shady.
When did the 10% tip disappear…
I'm not sure when they got rid of that. If I had to guess, probably over 6 months ago or longer.

A normal tip used to be 10% all the time and then all of a sudden 15% was the new normal, but that was years ago..next thing you know it will be 25%..
It's important that everything is clear and not to get scammed; money must be handled with care.
Very true! It's sad they don't give a clear breakdown.

We usually cook one large meal to last a few days and supplement with frozen meals, but every once in a while we like to treat ourselves if we can't squeeze in a date night. 🙂

Sue them! Take it to court, I'm pretty sure you'd win the case.
Imagine if someone actually did that, and won? 😅

Excellent work crushing the daily Ecency leaderboard quest, @bulliontools! Great advice; it is important to always double-check those automated tip calculations.
Tipped with Ecency POINTS.

You hold LASSECASH in the snapshot and it is waiting to be claimed. Claiming before 30 September matters: until then your position is a live mint that earns; after that it stops earning, and later it starts shrinking.

Fair warning — the site is updated most days for the first forty days while the contract can still be changed, so it may be briefly unstable. Everything on-chain is safe regardless.
