But Domino's says the system helps keep its workers safe and there is no obligation to tip.
The new feature gives customers the option to pay a fixed amount or choose their own tip for their “delivery expert” before completing payment.
The move has been met with outrage on social media where some have said Domino’s should “pay staff properly instead”.

“Found Storeit4less, not only close to me but exactly what we needed. We rented a container for a few months and every aspect of dealing with Tim has been easy and plain sailing.
Thanks Tim, we will surely be using your services again.”
F Van Heerden
“Thank you so much Tim. It has been such an blessing to have the extra space to sort my life out at an extremely affordable price. Lovely, big, clean, dry and handy container, which I could load straight from car/trailer into my container, made the process fast and efficient. Felt like part of the family, safe and secure. Thank you again. Ta kime.”
K Evans
"We have been using Storeit4less for the past 18mths. The facilities are amazing, so close to the motorway, very safe and secure location. The storage containers are clean, tidy and easy to access as you can park right outside them. Tim has been such a pleasure to deal with, he is always happy to accommodate our requests and provides a service above and beyond what we expected. Would highly recommend Storeit4less to anyone needing short or long term storage for personal or business use”.

Three white flags will fly from the very top of the Sky Tower this week, to raise awareness about mental health in the construction industry.

SkyCity spokesperson Arron Money said the construction industry has one of the highest rates of suicide in the commercial sector in New Zealand.
“Flying the flags from the top of the Sky Tower is our way of acknowledging the problem and empowering the industry to do something about it. The flags are a visual reminder for workers to stop and have the courage to ask a mate if they are alright,” he said.
Fly the Flag is a campaign created by Mates in Construction - an organisation established to combat the high rate of suicide among construction workers in New Zealand.
As a mark of respect for the families who have lost loved ones to suicide, the Sky Tower will also be lit as large ribbon with colours of orange and gold on September 10 to support World Suicide Prevention Day.

John Palino has announced his intention to run in the 2020 general election despite not being in the country.
Palino, who is best known for his three unsuccessful campaigns for Auckland mayor, has signed on as a list candidate for the minor Tea Party.
But Palino is currently based in Florida, United States, after travelling to visit family at the end of last year and deeming it too dangerous to return due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
He says he will run his campaign from there and return if the Tea Party is “lucky and fortunate” to get enough votes.
The Taxpayers and Entrepreneurs Alliance formally registered earlier this year, and is running on a platform of support for business, opposition to capital gains taxes, opposition to recreational drugs, and embracing migration.
Palino was approached to stand by Tea Party co-leader John Hong, who ran alongside Palino in the Auckland race last year.

Have you heard about our Community Connects grants?
The grants help fund projects that promote the inclusion and contribution of older people in community life, and support communities to prepare for an ageing population.
The fund makes one-off grants of up to $15,000. The grants are open to any New Zealand council, community organisation, or registered non-profit organisation. Applications for our current funding round close on 9 October.
Our last funding round was a huge success and helped fund a range of different projects across the country, that had focuses like reducing loneliness and social isolation of older people, developing an age-friendly community plan and supporting people with dementia.
With the right planning and support, we can create environments where older people are valued, connected and able to participate in their community.

A basic but valuable for those that find their mobile phones intimidating and the technology frightening. It was a wonderful opportunity to see them grow in their understanding of how to use their smartphones, and laptops to navigate the Apps and Photos, to become confident and by the end of the course fluent with their phones.
Take a look at some of their comments and how they felt about the course and how they overcame their initial fear of using their phones during the course below:
Elaine (Aged 68)
"The course was an uncomplicated and practical introduction on how to navigate my smartphone and laptop. Gavin taught me how to maximise my smartphone and to download Apps for my phone, like WhatsApp, Google Photos, Zoom and more. Every lesson was accompanied by detailed notes. This is a course for everyone regardless of ability and I completed the course feeling more confident and with a desire to still learn more. Thanks Gavin!"
Frank (Aged 70)
"Gavin is able to communicate his knowledge of IT with us "Oldies" in a simplified manner that we can understand and at a pace that takes the course attendees along for the journey. Those that may find it a bit difficult get extra attention. No note taking during the course is necessary as Gavin provides comprehensive notes via email after each lesson. We do a lot of our learning by doing "Hands On" with his supervision to guide us. All in all, a very worthwhile course."
Trish (Aged 74)
"This course covered all the basic areas for the use of a smartphone, tablets and laptops. We learnt how to use Apps on our smartphones, the technology and technical terminologies related to our devices. There is ample time to ask questions and get help if you need it. I would recommend this course to anyone needing help to learn the basics of how to use their smartphone, tablet or laptop."
...........
So, if you feeling the same, don’t let that get in your way as you will easily overcome this. Age is not a barrier, it’s easy to learn to use your phone along with others like you.
Our next intake is this week Friday at 10am, so why not contact me to put your name down and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere in my home with a classroom style set up for the course with other likeminded folks.
Here is what the course covers
- Device Basics - Mobile Operating Systems AND Navigating the Smartphone and the iPhone (Buttons, slots, and Screens)
- Setting up Passwords for Smartphone Apps AND Smartphone/Google ID & Apple ID Setup - What is an Application (App)
- How to download Apps and practice Sessions on Zoom, WhatsApp
- How to take a Screenshot & how to use OneNote
- Your Smartphone Settings, Device Basics, Passwords/PINS
- Cloud Storage, Bluetooth, Internet, Contacts & Photos (Google Photos)
