even if they technically do, i can almost guarantee you the product managers are looking at the total income per hour going to these workers inclusive of tips, and tuning their base pay or whatever they call their contribution to hit a specific total based on average/median/etc tips.

In other words, you don't know. I agree with you that they shouldn't be scummy about this but I don't think it's fair to make up that they are.

true, i dont know for sure, but i used to work in the space and it's how everyone i knew thought about courier compensation. theres only so many dollars a customer will pay for delivery[during normal times, its probably less elastic now] whether it's tips or delivery/service fees, and after cost of goods only so much left.
