The act of tipping has changed significantly. In the bygone days, people tipped to acknowledge the quality of service they received. The waiter did an amazing job serving your whole family dinner? Well, here’s a $10 tip. Now, since technology-assisted apps, like Door Dash or Uber Eats, have taken over the world and changed the rules — people have started doubting the tipping culture altogether.
In his viral TikTok video that garnered over 4.8 million views, Oregon-based Door Dash driver Owen Lindstrom explained and criticized a new phenomenon called ‘tip-baiting’: imagine being promised a generous tip for a quick delivery only for it to be taken away at the last minute. That doesn’t sound right.
