I support this. New York has so many restaurants within walking distance. This should be a luxury service anyway.

seriously every "how much do i tip" post has schmucks in manhattan being like "it's my god given capitalist right to order a sandwich from the corner of my block and refuse to tip the person who brings it to me."

Yes because everyone is in walking distance of incredible restaurants in this city. There's no one that might be a 30+ minute walk from any decent restaurants, not at all.

I have one, and? I don't personally use delivery services because I think the cost is stupid as hell, but let's not act like everyone lives in Chelsea where they can walk out of their door and have 15 different types of cuisine at their doorstep.

I wish people would chime in with their thoughts instead of just downvoting you. I think you have a point.

The way I see it: the state is essentially subsidizing all these businesses to operate in NYC. Because doordash won’t pay a stable, living wage- the state will need to step in and support these workers- food stamps, housing etc.

Why must the general taxpayer subsidize businesses to operate when they’re not exactly an essential service (like groceries or pharmacies)?

There’s a small minority of disabled New Yorkers who may need to order in on a regular basis, but disability benefits should cover for that
