In my country, no one tips, yet rideshare and food delivery services still exist.

Instead of begging for tips, drivers join a national union and regularly go on strike when a delivery company fails to meet payment expectations. New delivery services typical negotiate a deal with the union first to get drivers, and thus new companies have one less needless marketing expense.

Just don't tip.

It makes no sense for couriers to receive tips based on the price of the package. As far as they should be concerned, a 5$ burger and a 100$ steak are the same thing.

Now that some companies like DoorDash are also branching out and delivering medicines, and it would be preferable if they didn't even know what was inside any package and just charged appropriate by weight, distance, congestion fees for delivery.
