In a recent DoorDash lawsuit, DoorDash has been accused of violating the law by using a similar tipping policy. Before it closed, to use Cartdash users first selected what items they want from Instacart as normal. But Instacart’s model of using two alternative formulas for paying its workers causes confusion for many Instacart customers and shoppers, who think that a tip will increase the shopper’s earnings (above the guaranteed amount). Instacart is taking legal action against bots that automatically place orders. Using this policy, Instacart claims that it passes on all tips to its workers. The company responded that it only paid 80 cents because the customer had left a $10 tip, so it paid the Instacart shopper only 80 cents (for a total of $10.80).
