        @mims It's hard to imagine this is going to go over well with couriers, especially since tips fell due to interface changes.

        @bran_dj @mims Couriers get 80% of the delivery fee as commission. So that's $0.80 a pop, plus tip. Most of the couriers I've spoken to

        @juliacarriew @bran_dj @mims before even reading your tweets with the numbers you provided I knew this was bad 4 the couriers.

        @bran_dj @mims could manage ~2 deliveries per hour, and their compensation was 50/50 or 60/40 commission/tip

        @mims @bran_dj If that? Minus expenses for gas etc. And the idea that campuses are good for quick tips is cray. Couriers I interviewed

        @mims @bran_dj avoided college orders as much as possible because college kids don't tip.

        @juliacarriew And what about tips for the servers preparing & packaging up the food? Postmates just gets more and more questionable.

        @juliacarriew $1 delivery fee for customers != couriers will be paid $1 for a job. It's about batching jobs, making couriers more efficient.

        @GaneshToday So how will couriers be compensated on $1 deliveries? Current model says 80% of delivery fee + tips.
