‘Thank You, $1 Tipper’: DoorDash Driver Films Himself Eating Client’s Food After They Tipped Too Little To Teach Other Clients A Lesson

I'm shocked at the American tipping culture , like you really have people here defending this man for eating someone's else food over a bad tip. I don't really use DD but aren't you able to refuse the order if you don't agree with the tip amount??

I totally agree. I think some of these are just meant to get a reaction and aren’t real though. But if this guy is serious screw him. I maybe wrong but didn’t he know the amount of the tip before taking the delivery? Im sick of these posts with delivery drivers whining about tips and digging through peoples food.Don’t get me wrong I tip at restaurants. And occasionally the weed delivery driver from the dispensary. But this pisses me off. If you don’t like it get a different job and shut up with the bitching and moaning. If any of the guys from one of my crews whined and cried like this they would be on the first flight back home looking for a new job. Edit: some people order delivery out of necessity not convenience. Lol I’m ranting.

Tipping is for a job well done and at the customers discretion. We rarely tip unless we're feeling generous

If you tip 100% of the money goes to the driver. I would would rather give it to them than pay more for the service and hope it trickles down (it won't)

I would like to reply to your comment, about cashiers and janintors, nurses amd whoever not getting tips. First of all those people are not using their own things to work. With a Dasher. We use our own car, pay for our own gas, put wear and tear on our cars, standing in lines sharing on your food up to 45 minutes at a time. Not only our we using our cars, our gas, our time and everything else to do these orders. It is always best to top these drivers.. Doordash only pays us a flat fee for tracing miles to the store , waiting for several minutes at the store then traveling miles to the customers house. The stores most of the time never have the order ready when we get there. So I have to waste my time on every order then spend my gas to get to the customers house. For what 2.75 For half of hour or more. The customer is not wasting their time, their gas and driving a lot of miles. The customer do need to tip.. For what this guy did is wrong on all levels.

I agree the company should pay a living wage. But in america it is expected for you to tip because the waitresses only make $2.13 an hour. It ie wrong but that is the way it is.

You are not alone brother.

Do you realize DoorDash pays its Dashers usually $2.00 as base pay, the longer an order sits the higher the pay goes up but often times not much. This job is completely reliant on tips to make an income. Because we also have to think about Vehicle Maintenance, our time, and distance for delivery. If we only get $2 for a 15 mile order and than that customer does not tip. We just paid out of our pocket to work. And DoorDash does not compensate. The entire system is set up to profit off of exploiting their drivers. That being said what this man did was disgusting and uncalled for. No matter how pissed I am at the situation, I am usually more made at DoorDash for exploiting my hard work. The most I'll do is flip off the house as I'm leaving or rant for the next while on the wayato my next order. I have been Dashing for 2.5yrs. I've been no tipped for a $258 catering order to a Church, who I arrived to early and helped bring in and set up like they asked. And that's just one example.

I'm assuming you didn't think before you speak. Because why would anyone work for $2.50 a delivery. If I don't see a tip, I pass up the order. The only way Doordash works for the drivers is if you tip. The problem is the drivers accepting orders that people won't tip on. It's makes people think they don't have to tip. I don't care if my acceptance rate is low, as long as I make money and the job is fair. I've seen orders that are over 10 miles away with no tip, regularly. It's not right to tamper with someone's food at all. But I had an order today and I climbed 4 flights of stairs and only made $2.50. Yeah I complained to myself. Almost took the order with me. I spent more getting it there then they paid me. Non tippers should get in their car and waste their own gas and milage. Don't assume things are free.

While I agree you shouldn't need to be responsible for being 90% of the drivers income, there's some huge flaws with your logic here. These services are forcing you to be the main source of income it isn't out fault and we would change it if we could. - There is no good comparison between a waiter and a delivery driver. We spend hundreds a month easily just to deliver your food out of our own pocket with all our expenses. - Services like Doordash makes it impossible to tip based off of service since you're unable to change the tip after completion. Tips on these apps work more like a bid for service, rather than a tip for a job well done. If anyone thinks otherwise they're just delusional. Tipping culture is terrible and needs to go away. I also believe that due to the lack of tipping in general, these services need to step it up and pay drivers fair wages OR completely shut down and let you all pick up your own food.

Not even out which is why I took a job it doesn’t pay great at $15/hr but at least I don’t have to put another 35,000 miles on my car this year with wear and tear and pay for gas going all about and climb a million stairs and have people rear ending me at traffic lights 🚦 for a group of ungrateful people to tell me why handing them a bag isn’t enough to impress upon them the need to take care of their delivery service drivers… these same people are the reason drivers end up with a sour taste for the job I drove an hour to a very wealthy gated community the house had luxury cars he promised he’d add the tip but he was just capping he had no intention to do so it made my blood boil that I made $11 for the hour minus gas and other factors that it takes to maintain a carbon the road, so realistically for that hour I made more like $7. The app paid slightly more because it was a forty minute drive to get to him and about 12 min drive to go get the food but he could care less even tho these

If you can't afford to tip you can't afford to eat out. Period. Otherwise you are forcing the wait staff to subsidize your meal. Like it or not in the US tipping is how they get paid and if they do a good job you give 20%. Period end of story.

We’re the ones out here putting in all the foot work- 10 order at $2.50 is $25 plus a dollar tip for half the orders at $5 is a total of $30 and it probably took that driver four hours honestly the way the algorithm disperses drivers out and with wait times and delivery times now let’s consider that’s just the $30 they have to put back in the tank to dash about delivering those orders so what have they made for their four hours?! A grand total of nothing… $0 Zilch, Nada, so now they have to go out another four hours to take home $30, doesn’t seem fair huh? That’s bcuz it isn’t. The variable of what could happen range from some customers who may tip only $.30 on an order or some other cents value to a customer who could tip $5-$10 big tippers are rare with those stories you hear of a $20 tip so if a driver gets to take home $100 after a really long day of jumping in and out to scale apts and they can spare $30 for gas the next day they made a whopping $70 for the day and it just does

Now here come all the crybaby’s who think that food delivery service should be damn near free to attack me in 3,2,1…. But why should delivery drivers spend 8-10 hours out a day to take home slaves wages? Do y’all know how many Apt complex stairs we climb searching for you, how many accidents on the road were avoiding how many pot holes 🕳 my car eats and tires I’m going through how busted up my rims have gotten while I’m looking for your addresses which are unclearly marked if at all…? And all you can say is what we don’t deserve for “just” handing you a bag- no ma’am I put in hard work and my good credit bought this car and insurance, it is a service, what level of service yes you have a part in the answer to that but most of y’all aren’t ready to face that reality you’d rather attack me for the perspective but hey I already expect that level of non decency because the spirit of this satanic world without love is already reflected in the lack of appreciation we get with the tips when

Continued: now I’m not speaking on what the man in the video did but I am opening up respectful dialogue to bring awareness of the unfairness to delivery app drivers especially to that crowd of people saying oh blah blah don’t come crying to me about when you don’t get tipped or get $1.00 tip- Well sir, you wouldn’t tip the waitress $1 at a restaurant who mind you isn’t using her car or gas an hour to run your order which gas costs about $60 every 2 days for food delivery driving orders at least 8 hours or more, insurance $282/ no. Car note $585, I guess we don’t have a problem then because the people who don’t see the need to tip adequately can go get their own food then but they don’t! They just want a free service at the end of the day & it’s the drivers who are eating the cost in pay for everyone & these selfish people who can afford to order and pay 4 these meals but don’t want 2 consider the person making only $2.50 2 drive 15 miles 2 go get your food & climb a million stairs

For all you people who think $2.50-$4.25 is enough pay for waiting anywhere from 10-30 minutes or more often times l, driving 5-7 miles to the location to pick it up then having a god awful wait only to have the app tell you it’s now a 10 mile drive for example which in some states traffic that can mean a thirty or forty minute drive which has now cost you an hour of your time to “deliver” and an hour of your gas money driving around to get the order to them not including the car note and insurance that has to be paid on the vehicle being maintained to deliver these people who either do t own a car to go get their food themselves or people not using their own vehicle to go get it themselves… all things taken into consideration, you tell me if that amount seems to compensate the equivalent? No, it doesn’t and people really think that after burning out my gas money an hour to deliver their food to them I’m supposed to be ok with a total payout of $4.25?! & it’s usually the wealthier home

All you cheapasses who don't tip aren't willing to pay an extra 30% on meals to abolish tipping. Your whining is just as useless. Difference is that servers make 3 or 4 bucks an hour while a cashier gets minimum wage bare minimum. Thank God I don't have to rely on tips anymore either. I know some restaurants who upcharge their prices so they can afford to pay their staff and not have to rely on tips. First thing people like you do is whine about the prices. You trash want to complain about someone not wanting to make slave wages so I doubt any of you would be okay with a 30% upcharge.

none of the jobs you listed pay $2 per hour. No one wants to be your free delivery service. get off your lazy a*s and cook. If you’re that broke you shouldn’t be using the service anyway. It’s not a service for poor people and unfortunately that’s who’s using it

1. Totally agree that the tipping culture should stop, tips should be voluntary, not customary. 2. We should work on changing laws to not allow wages bellow the minimum wage. BUT UNTIL THEN AND JUST UNTIL THEN TIP your server, delivery driver, and anyone that's making their income on tips. 3. If you don't have money to tip, then you don't have money to eat out. 4. You shouldn't boycott tipping culture by stiffing your server on their tips, instead just don't use these services. 5. Cashiers, janitors, teachers make a wage, servers make less than minimum wage. Apples and oranges.

Aren't 10% tips automatically included on restaurant receipts in Brazil? Does this also applies to food delivery services?

I've heard good things about Brazil

And also it is extremely disgusting

We can only hope, though i feel its gonna get a lot worse before we see something like that happen(if it does at all)

Being lazy is expensive. I don't understand why all those people can't make their own food, it's not hard and less expensive.
