Do you, as a person who delivers through DoorDash or UberEats or what have you, prefer to be tipped through the app or in cash?

Over here in germany, tipping is synonymous with cash and using the tip feature of apps is frowned upon because it adds an unnecessary middleman.
Not sure how transferrable that is to other countries, us germans really like cash.
I was hungry once and ordered a lot of stuff from one place at lieferando. I was really looking forward to it and was in a good mood, so I pre tipped through their app. They cancelled my order but kept the tip.
Never again.
Is tipping really a thing in Germany?
Tipping in germany is a thing. The culture here is much less intense about it than the american tipping culture.
You won't get a bad service if you don't tip and in my student time I rarely tipped, but never had a bad experience with this. Now that I have the money, I usually have a batch of 5€ and 10€ banknotes with me, specifically for tips. I try to tip around 10% and the people usually are really grateful.
People tip often in service. Gastronomy, hair dressers, home cleaners. But nothing crazy like the USA. 10% is usually a great tip.
I hate it I hate it I hate it. Here the minimum most places offer without you doing a custom is 15% for most things and 20% for restaurants
Do custom without shame! They are bullying you. These card readers with tip suggestions are getting annoyingly coming here too. One time in Berlin I went to a donut stand and the suggested tips started at 10%. I gave them 1 star on Google maps and complained. They replied that that's just how the machine works. I know perfectly well that's customizable...
