    Asking honestly, respectfully, and in good faith - is there a downside to doing this? Edit: I mean, is there a downside to rewarding the driver via this promotion.

      Yes, it undermines the idea that drivers deserve a living wage and is just Amazon dipping their toes into shifting their drivers into something closer to ‘ride share’ style independent contractors who primarily get their income from tips.

      Short term benefit for long term problems.

        Plenty of untipped jobs are seen as being undeserving of a living wage, though, so I don’t follow your logic.
