Ever wondered if merchants can keep your DoorDash tips? 😱 The shocking truth is that if a customer orders through a restaurant website or a third-party system instead of the DoorDash app, the store can actually keep the driver’s tip — and DoorDash wouldn’t even know!

In this video, I share my real experiences as a delivery driver with Pizza Hut, floral deliveries, and other merchants where tips mysteriously disappeared. Customers told me they tipped, but I got $0 on the order. After investigating, I discovered how merchants can intercept tips, either by accident or on purpose, and why drivers often see “no tip” orders that were actually tipped.

I’ll break down:
✅ How DoorDash processes tips vs. merchant websites
✅ Why some stores may keep or “lose” your tips
✅ Real customer stories where I never received the tip they left
✅ What drivers can do if they suspect their tip was taken
✅ Why cash tips or tipping directly in DoorDash are the safest options

This is MUST-WATCH info for DoorDash drivers, Uber Eats drivers, Instacart shoppers, and gig workers who rely on tips to survive. If you’ve ever wondered “Can restaurants steal my DoorDash tip?” — this video explains exactly how it can happen.
