How can Postmates be proud to pay the Los Angeles couriers what equals less than minimum wage, discourage tipping, and still sleep well at night?
But isn't it the responsibility of the company to ensure that their workers earn a living wage? And why would they discourage tipping, which could help make up for the low pay?
That's certainly one argument. However, some might argue that Postmates is simply responding to market demands and trying to stay competitive with other delivery services. As for discouraging tipping, they may have determined that the additional cost to customers is a deterrent to using the service, and have instead opted to pay couriers higher base wages.
