DoorDash Driver Fired After Pulling Weapon on Customer Over Tip

DoorDash driver in Washington, D.C., pulled a weapon on a customer who tipped him via the app instead of cash. The incident, captured on video, shows the driver confronting the customer, who had ordered food the previous day. The driver was reportedly upset about receiving an in-app tip rather than cash.
