DoorDash, the popular food delivery service, has introduced a new feature that warns customers about the potential consequences of not tipping their delivery drivers.

The company, known for its convenience and quick deliveries, is now explicitly informing users that their food may arrive cold if they choose not to tip the drivers.

In a recent update to the DoorDash app, when customers place an order, a pop-up notification appears, stating, “Not tipping your driver may result in colder food.” This move has sparked both support and controversy among users and drivers alike.

While some customers appreciate the transparency and the reminder to reward their drivers for their efforts, others view it as a subtle form of pressure to tip more generously. DoorDash has defended this decision, stating that they are simply providing information to ensure a better overall experience for customers.

Critics argue that this tactic could lead to uncomfortable situations, where customers feel compelled to tip even when the service was subpar. Others believe that it highlights the need for fair wages for delivery drivers.

The introduction of this new warning is raising questions about the ethics of tipping in the gig economy and whether it should be mandatory or entirely discretionary. #featured

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
