Minor nitpick: If the tip is issued before the service it's a bid, not a tip.


Is Instacart's model still where the customer bid with tip is shown to shoppers before they accept a batch, but isn't binding, so customers can claw back their promised tip? (in which case arguably it wasn't a 'bid', but anyway). Can lead to 'tip-baiting'.


I see this said a lot and while I understand the spirit of it, do any of these apps actually call it a bid when it works that way? I don't believe they do


Thanks. TIL.
