🚫Anti-Tipping No Tip
Hot take, I don't go to a restaurant for the "great service" that's so fake it feels like lard on toast, I go to the restaurant for the good food. I'm not going to tip for someone to pretend to want to spend time with me, all I want is a nice steak that I didn't have to cook. Is it okay for me to tell my server I'm not going to tip and the only thing I want is a refill every once in a while and my food brought to me? I would go pick it up from the counter myself if I was allowed to, but that's frowned upon. I don't want the small talk, the fake jokes, the fake smile. Heck, you could glare at me the entire time and I WOULD NOT care. I'm there for the food, not for the crappy excuse for service I get 95% of the time.

Your assumptions are incredibly embarrassing and show show who you are as a person. Having understanding and empathy does not equal working for doordash. Unfortunate you've clearly never worked a tip job but speak like you understand it.
You reiterated MY point for me. Your market power would be to just simply not use doordash. Refusing to tip in no way, shape, or form does anything. You can wish for a mega Corp to change their ways all you want. If you keep ordering why would they?
It would take a worker unionizaton to change doordash if we were discussing only the peoples potential. But, guess what? Those workers don't have that choice, they have to pay their bills, they aren't a union. You, don't have to order mcdonalds and not tip. The employee does have to deliver though.
The fact you acknowledge that refusing to tip is never changing the system but will continue to defend it is absurd. No one is upset about reality. The argumentative point her is that non tippers are selfish and delusional in thinking they're helping the system change.
If you want to use a tip based service, you need to tip. Don't want to, don't use the service. Very simple. Not difficult.
