As if the tip actually goes to the dashers.

For tipping countries like the US, the driver would only get a "has a tip" notification on the order (if they get any information like that at all!) so they can decide. There is no way the driver can see that there is a $40 order with a $4 tip, or a $40 order with a $16 dollar tip. Orders would be ignored all the time, and the service would fail.
Oh, and if they did get a "has tip" flag for the order, then customers could just game it, by selecting "add tip" and setting it to $0 or $0.10 or something so their order gets that "has tip" flag!!
Here is AU, there is no tipping, so the drivers get paid like normal people. None of this work for tip bullshit that seems to have survived this long in the US, its incredible that it has gotten this far. Now the US get asked for tips using self-service machines, that is the height of lunacy!
I tried Instacart (United States). It tells you exactly what you will get paid before you accept an order. If the tip was more you will see it. Basically if you order Tylenol and 5 other items it will say the Store Name, 6 items, Total payout. (And distance) When you arrive at the store you get a list of the items, and the isle number/shelf if it is available. You scan each item into the app for it to be accepted, if the item is not the same code, it will make you send a message or alternate possibility to the orderer. And they approve/deny.
Long story short. You 100% know what you are getting paid before starting so if 1 order for 6 items says you make 20 dollars, and another says you make 6 dollars. The 20 dollar order will be accepted first.
All this and these motherfuckers still can't find basic shit in the store? Instacart is the most expensive and least efficient company I have ever used for product delivery.
They fucking suck to work for too. The shoppers probably don't bother to look very hard because of the insane time limits they expect you to meet, just to have you sit in a parking lot for another hour waiting for orders in a supposed "hot spot" at Kroger that regardless is gonna have you drive across town to a fucking nino salvaggio or something you didn't even know existed in that location.
That's probably it. Still, I can't justify the insane markups when stores have their own services for pickup/delivery now without them. They rarely get things wrong, and with current food prices, that markup is unjustifiable.
Yep, that is absolutely fair. The whole service is a scam on every end, no matter how you interact with them.

The order actually does show how much tip comes with it. The system feeds each dasher based on their acceptance rate of orders..so if you accepted an order with a low tip, your position in the queue would be more likely to get the orders with larger tips than someone who turns down orders with smaller tips all the time. Naimsayin?
This comment seems pretty good, can I get your cash app info so I can tip you for it?
You're welcome, CashApp havent rolled out to Australia but you can tip me directly via my bitcoin wallet though: 12345X#6514421B
I don't have Bitcoin ๐
you don't know what you're talking about do you. why did you even bother typing all this up if you don't know shit.
the drivers are paid more or less constant and they can see the total payout and mileage. an order that doesn't have tip attached will slowly increase in payout until a driver takes it. so those orders tend to be slow.
orders do get ignored all the time and people complain about cold food all the time too.
