    Delivery drivers are independent contractors and DoorDash facilitates the meeting of drivers and customers. The fees go towards DoorDash and the driver, and the customer can add an additional payment to the driver to make their order more enticing to accept. There’s no “refusing to pay wages” in this situation. If you want to go with the ultra low cost option, it will not be attractive to drivers so you may wait longer.
