odd order totals like 6.66 and 7.77

I get at least one $6.66 a day. Can you imagine the odds? what is this some kind of stupid prank to waive the tip stealing im our face???

after this bjs promo i cant help but feel like we are being trolled or used as a public experiment.

What do you mean tip stealing? DD steals the tips?

DD used to payout $5 minimum plus 100% tips on every order. Now they pay $1 minimum plus 100% tips. They set a guaranteed payment minimum of say $7.77, if the customer tips 6.77, DD will pay $1 to meet the guarantee. If the customer tips $0 DD will pay the full $7.77. If the customer pays over $7.77 after you swipe you delivered you’ll see the “you got $x.xx over the guarantee!”. So technically they aren’t stealing them sneakily, they are using them to meet the guarantee. Whenever we have customers ask how it works, we recommend them tip $0 in app and tip cash, that way DD pays us in full themselves plus we get tip.

Wait tho… they ask about the tip when I order, though, don't they? I definitely remember it's before pick-up. Does that mean they have already figured the tip into the guaranteed amount?

We don’t see what we actually made off an order until after we mark the order completed on the app. The guarantee shown before we accept is based on distance, size of order and amount of effort (placing order, paying with dd red card), tip or no tip we get that amount. If the tip goes over the guaranteed amount, we are shown that after we delivered the order. It doesn’t tell us what portion was the tip and what they paid themselves for each order. So cash tips are best since that makes them pay the full amount and then we get tipped instead of them using part of or all the tip to meet the guarantee.
