      No, it’s a bid for service. Think auction house restaurant where the only people going to serve you are the ones who think your pay is worth it.

      I always heard tips started as “To Insure Prompt Service” or something. Which is basically what you’re doing here with Door dash, so we’ve gone back to the root of tips.

        Nah, that’s a Backronym (added to fit the name after the fact.) Tip comes from English slang, meaning “to give”. You can give tips for money or information.
