That’s the equivalent of a solider claiming they were just following orders.

The Doordash people don’t want to steal tips, but the law doesn’t punish them for doing so, and the people getting exploited are drinking lead water anyway.

Door dash didn't steal tips, they supplemented tips until they were pressured to stop.

Commissioned salesmen sometimes work on a draw. A guy delivering Five Guys? Please.

For a W2 worker it’s wage theft. Since these folks are 1099s it’s not protected by law. Either way is gross and unethical.
