Customer Orders Breakfast And Leaves A $1.50 Tip, The Delivery Driver Snaps And Leaves The Food In A Tree

Interview
ADVERTISEMENT

Sometimes, a food delivery driver’s patience hangs by a single, thin thread… but is that really an excuse for doing your job poorly and having a go at paying customers? Is it really an excuse to swear at someone who just wants their breakfast?

A viral TikTok video about a delivery gone very, very wrong sparked a fiery debate about deliverer conduct and tipping culture. Tipping is an extremely hotly debated topic, especially in the United States (while the rest of the world watches, slightly perplexed). On one side, you have people who believe that customers have a duty to tip, and tip well because delivery drivers put in a lot of effort to bring their orders. On the other side, you’ve got folks who believe it shouldn’t fall on their shoulders to pay a large part of a worker’s wage—the companies themselves have to do that. The debate got pretty heated.

Scroll down to see what happened when customer Aaron, aka @i.aaron, from Tennessee, ordered some breakfast from Chick-fil-A via DoorDash and was told that his order was left in a tree. We really want to hear what you think about this, Pandas, so be sure to share your opinions in the comments.

Bored Panda got in touch with Aaron, who told us a bit more about the situation, how the internet reacted to his video, and how DoorDash employees could potentially change things. He told us that he “couldn’t stop laughing” when he realized that his order was up in a tree. “I was super confused at first and had no idea what he [the DoorDash delivery driver] meant. “I thought he left it at the back door. But while I did appreciate the engagement in my video, the comments concerned me for the future of our workforce,” Aaron told us that he got some very nasty messages from people.

Meanwhile, we also interviewed delivery driver Smithson Michael, from New York, who shared his thoughts about tipping and the future of delivery with us. Smithson is fighting for change (you can find his petition right here), and he explained just how tough deliverers have it. However, he urged delivery drivers to have patience and be optimistic that things will change for the better, and not take their frustrations out on their customers’ orders.

“With the costs of living these days and how expensive just about everything seems to be, it doesn’t seem like you can buy too much with a dollar,” he said that you have to factor in just how much effort a deliverer has to put into an order. From fetching it, waiting for it to be prepared, and dealing with potential delays to delivering the order through traffic while also dealing with parking and getting to the front door.

When you order some food, you don’t expect it to be left in a tree. That’s exactly what happened to TikToker Aaron who just wanted some breakfast

He shared the angry messages that the DoorDash delivery driver sent him due to the size of the tip he had left

Aaron told Bored Panda that he got some “nasty DMs” from some people saying that the delivery driver should have hurt him “and it just spiraled out of hand.”

“I tried saying that the Chick-fil-A was 0.4 miles from my place and I know for a fact I still live in a ‘hot zone’ or whatever it’s called, so it’s not like I made the guy drive out of the way. People love to make assumptions online and make judgments based off of those,” he said.

Aaron said that, from what he understands, DoorDash delivery drivers get to choose what orders to accept. “I’m sure the guy grabbed my order because it was super close. I think if dashers did a little internal protest and went to Uber or stopped picking up orders, DoorDash would get the hint! Unfortunately, DoorDash pays so little and people still take the job,” he explained.

“It’s the same situation with serving tables, which I did all through college. It’s a gamble to survive off tips, but when you do your job well, you make way better than hourly. DoorDash should allow you to change your tip after the order, or just prompt it once your food is delivered. Tipping before is insane to me, tipping is for providing a service, not people who throw food in trees,” Aaron shared his frustration with the system.

According to Aaron, he uploaded the video on his burner account. “My actual TikTok is @aye.squared where I promote bars and restaurants in Nashville. I made this just to laugh with my friends and people just RAN with it.”

Here’s Aaron’s viral video, in full

@i.aaron #greenscreen @DoorDash GET YA BOY!! hope he’s having a better day now. #doordash #nashville #doordashdriver #ubereats #chickfila #breakfast ♬ original sound – a2

Meanwhile, some people said that they side with the food delivery driver

The TikToker made a video to respond to those comments

@i.aaron Replying to @dav9800 ♬ original sound – a2

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: delivery drivers seriously deserve a ton more financial stability than they’re given, as well as the same respect they give their customers. With how convenient food and item delivery is now these days, you can sometimes forget that it’s a living, breathing human being who’s carrying out your order. Someone with hopes, dreams, and a very concrete need to pay their bills and put food on the table. However, the key point here is that you ought to treat others as you’d expect to be treated by them. If you don’t respect your customer… everything falls apart.

ADVERTISEMENT

The topic divided TikTok. Some were completely in customer Aaron’s corner, horrified by the way he was treated. Meanwhile, others went as far as to call the deliverer a ‘hero.’ Aaron, in fact, made a follow-up video responding to one such comment, explaining why it doesn’t make sense to do your job in a horrible way if you feel frustrated with your career situation.

If I realized that my order was somewhere up a tree, I’d honestly have a good long laugh and tell everyone about it. But if I got into contact with the driver, I’d try to get their perspective: realistically speaking, what can be done to improve their situation. It’s obviously not just about a single tip—there’s a larger story here, and that particular situation was just the last drop.

“The two or three dollars that the app is paying per delivery is already spent due to the fuel consumed. So if the person decided not to tip, the driver makes nothing. All of that work and effort results in the driver not even pocketing a penny. They actually lost money because fuel is well over three dollars, just about everywhere, I believe. So I think people just need to give that a thought: if no one delivered because they didn’t want to get nothing for all of that work, then these services would have to shut down,” New York delivery driver Smithson shared his thoughts with Bored Panda.

“The delivery fees might be high, however, they don’t go to the drivers,” Smithson said that those who have the means might want to “strongly consider” ordering a little less and give their drivers five to ten dollars extra so they can “put a gallon or two in their tank.”

“Imagine the driver’s frustration: They know the companies aren’t lowering the delivery fees, and because of that they are on their own out there, at the mercy of someone’s willingness to tip, just to make a small amount for a considerable amount of daily work.”

However, there are some people out there who are lobbying for food delivery companies to lower their delivery fees. Smithson is one of them. “I created a petition that I believe can get their attention if enough people sign it.”

Delivery driver Smithson wants fairness for both sides. “The companies are the catalyst for the strife that has built up regarding delivery fees on the customer’s end and lack of a reasonable wage on the driver’s. Imagine if all of the people that looked at this petition—took a moment to electronically sign it. Things like that get attention, and could start a wave of change in the way the companies charge customers, and treat drivers,” he said.

Smithson urged drivers like him to have patience and optimism. He has a lot of hope that things will change for the better. “I know that isn’t paying the bills, but we can’t trade customers’ orders badly—that will only make matters worse. The right thing to do is to drop them off correctly, and look for outlets to express your concerns. Perhaps documenting your experience could help shed some light on things- and give customers some insight on how this feels, and affects drivers,” he suggested.

“I know that many love to work delivery. It can be a rewarding feeling to successfully deliver goods. I honestly wonder about the future of delivery, as many would seek work elsewhere I imagine if this wage problem does not change. Perhaps, that might be the inevitable outcome? Only time will tell I suppose.”

Here’s what some internet users thought about the entire situation

ADVERTISEMENT

Aaron told Newsweek that he got in touch with DoorDash and got a refund for the order, as well as a generic response regarding his dissatisfaction with the deliverer. The customer said that he’s previously had other bad experiences with DoorDash employees. That led him to lower the tips he leaves.

“I had one guy put my food down at my door, take the picture, and then pick it back up to take it with him and he left. Couldn’t get a refund on that one,” he shared with Newsweek. Aaron noted that he is “very pro workers rights.”

However, he was shocked by the deliverer’s behavior and the expectation that large tips are almost mandatory. “I literally tipped one of DoorDash’s ‘recommended’ tips and from that comments section, if I’m not tipping at least $10, I deserve what happened. It’s just comical.”

We’ve covered the situation with minimum wage and tipping in the US before here at Bored Panda. In short, what you’re paid depends a lot on the state where you live and the company you work for. Statista reports that the minimum wage can vary greatly.

For instance, while it might have been $15 per hour in California in January 2022, the wage drops to merely $7.25 in Texas, and $5.15 in Wyoming and Georgia. This means that depending on your location, you may be forced to shoulder the burden of paying someone part of their wage via tips, as a customer.

This is the fundamental problem with tips. Amount of the tip should never be a factor in how well you perform your job.

Yes. Your job is to deliver the food. If you are not willing to do that job then you should not have it. It's not the customer's fault you rely on tips to survive, they've already paid for both the food and the service.

I’m sorry but no. I understand the frustration BUT this is a similar case like the guy who left disabled woman’s food in the driveway where she couldn’t get to it. Yes, small tips are frustrating but leaving it in a tree if you don’t know whether the person who ordered it is actually able to climb the said tree isn’t just inconveniencing someone, it means that someone may potentially not get to eat for hours

I had something like that happen. I left her food on her front porch. She called me and said she just had knee surgery and can't get out there. I went back and brought it around to her. I told her to make sure to add the drop off spot next time so it doesn't happen again.

Bro just take it and move on to a better order. Don’t give us dashers who do and good job and get paid decent a bad name. I use my hot bag, have 3 baskets in my back seat to keep the orders safe from falling, keep hand sanitizer and keep a professional and clean appearance. If someone tips me low for one I don’t accept the order and if I do I just take care of them to encourage a better tip next time. This behavior does not help make customers appreciate what we do Oh and dashers, stop making YouTube’s about mundane things no one cares.

I’m skipping the story because I’m so tired of people complaining about tips. The delivery fee and convenience fee usually ends up being 100% of whatever your order is, sometimes more. I’ve ordered a $12 burger and somehow it ends up being $30 after all the fees and then the drivers have gotten to where anything below $10 is unacceptable so you end up spending $42 on a $12 sandwich. Honestly it’s best to just order it to go and pick it up yourself. I understand the convenience of delivery, but you have to wait longer and often times the food is wrong or cold. I’ve only had good experiences when I leave higher tips which isn’t always feasible since I’m not rich.

The lowest total I accept from dasher pay and tip is $5. As long as the tip is $2.50 I get that and I will do it. As long as it's not too many miles.

This is on the driver. The driver didn't have to accept the order. 1.50 is still a tip. Be professional and deliver it or decline it, and let another driver who is not a complete moron deliver it.

If your job relies on tips and you're angry at the customer, you're an idiot. The problem is the corporation that's stealing your money and expecting to pass the cost on to the customer. In a world where you can get 15 an hour at McDonald's, there's no reason to work a job you think is shitty. Doordash needs to suffer a mass resignation.

I do everything I am able to avoid no tip orders. They shouldn't call it a tip, they should call it a bid. Most of us more seasoned drivers won't take orders below a certain amount.

This is why I order food and then go pick it up myself. In the past, no matter how much I've tipped the driver, it never seems to be enough. I gave one guy a $20.00 tip for driving a pizza to our house. He probably spent a total of 7 mins in the car round trip yet still scowled at me, muttering "FKN Cheap BiXch!"

This is why I hate tipping culture. The company doesn't pay enough so they delegate the financial burden onto the customers? It's an easy way to shift blame onto the wrong people. The door dash guy should quit delivering, it's obviously not paying his needs if one bad tip sends him off like this. I don't use any of those food delivery apps because I hate how these companies thrive off paying their workers absolute garbage and shouldering that financial responsibility to the customers. It's capitalism bs

Why is DoorDash getting paid anything???? DoorDash needs to start functioning like OfferUp. Provide the connection but don’t charge a fee. That’s all DooDash is doing is proving a connection to random strangers. This is why these Dashers put the food anywhere or eat it. These Dashers are not employees. DoorDash is not proving them with a car or gas. DoorDash is collecting all the profit and given the Dasher the scrapes, then want them to fight the customers!!! Dashers need to go on strike and demand the full pay of delivery and additional cost . If you got paid more you wouldn’t be trying to beat up the customer who is actually paying a lot already . You’re not getting the correct pay, that greedy pig 🐷 Door Dash is getting it all!!

I'm ex-service industry and pro-tipping however things need to change. This is the problem with tipping culture. Taking your anger out on each other doesn't benefit anyone but the corporation/business. It is not the responsibility of the customer to provide you a livable wage. That rests solely on the employer. Yes, delivery is a luxury service but that is why there is a service fee. A larger portion of that fee needs to be going towards the one doing all the work. If we want reform we need to redirect our anger towards the one profiting off of all of it.

I live by the rule, if they're handling something I'm going to put in my mouth, I'm kind and generous with the tip. I'm a kind and generous person anyway, but even more so when it comes to food. The delivery driver handled it poorly for sure, but people also have bad days.

I’m a dasher and when I didn’t have my car I was forced to order groceries and sometimes meals. It is outrageous the high delivery fee and yes you take a chance on getting your food. Having been a server and being a dasher, I always decide beforehand how much I will tip. I wouldn’t dare tip less than $5 and I live in hot zone. Less than $5 is just rude. Who leaves a $1.29 tip? Even at a restaurant, although you tip beforehand I figure how much I will tip. 20% is base tip with more for good service or I just round it out to next highest bill amount. $20/$50/$100 Delivery should be tipped more than servers due to fuel and traffic.

I'm retired law enforcement, injured in the line of duty , started doing doordash for something to do . I've had great tips $30 for a 3 mile drive and I've gotten $4 on a $160 order that was 15 miles away . My work ethic is do the job properly, be professional,tell the customer to enjoy the order and go to the next . I never refuse an order , tip or no tip , I chose to do this job so I do it right as should you .

Hey Patrick, I hope your acceptance ratings pay your bills. Sounds like your doing this to kill time. If you're injured in the line of duty, you have pension coming so you have money coming in versa someone depending on this as an income because a job while looking for a better job is better than no job at all. This isn't the only money coming in for you. I'm glad you have the luxury to take whatever comes your way. But I do wish everyone had a driver like you getting everyone their order to them in a prompt way.

This is what morons do when they can't do anything else. Complain about their tip. Boo hoo. No one cares, which is why I go and pick my food up so I don't have to deal with a-holes like this. I've waited tables and delivered pizza, and not once would I have ever though to be this much of a d-bag, regardless of the tip.

Scary anyone would think the delivery drivers behavior was acceptable. He could have shared his grievance if he wanted, like detail that he only really makes such and such for that 45 minutes of time to deliver. Instead he spews pure entitlement and zero professionalism. I can easily guess how he votes too, sadly.

On one end no you shouldn't throw your food up a tree due to lie tip. Though tipping less than 5 dollars f**k you from a dasher you want to be lazy that's fine but tip for the service. 1.50 tip that's like a big f**k you to your driver.

That's exactly the kind of mentality that's leading to misplaced blame. A tip is not obligatory. The fact that people expect tips is absolute proof that Door Dash is completely to blame for not paying their workers enough. A tip is, and will always only be a "thank you" for a job well done. It is never a "f**k you". Ever.

Having your food delivered is a luxury just like going to a expensive restaurant is a luxury you're expected to pay a high amount if you can't pay a decent tip then be like the rest of the poor people and go and get your own food it's that simple

Finally! I deliver for Door Dash, but I don't get food delivered because my husband & I are broke, & I can just go grocery shopping. I often deliver to Detroit & many customers don't tip at all. Sometimes DD manipulates you into delivering an extra order when the driver is at the restaurant ("well, I'm here anyways, I may as well pick up this extra order for $2"), then you end up driving a few extra miles to deliver THAT order. No matter what my tip may or may not be, I check the receipt to make sure it's all there, I put it in thick insulated bags I bought on Mercari, I deliver it on time or as early as I can wherever they ask me to, and I'm always polite (as they usually are to me. DD's greedy system is the problem, & self-entitled drivers acting like assholes are NOT making it better.

In my opinion. Tipping should never be a option at all for any type of work. It leads to entitlement by the worker, poor work ethics and loss of business to the employers. Thus, pay your workers a living wage and stop passing business cost onto customers. Thus, company need to stop squeezing every penny from it's customer in name of profit.

If the driver is unhappy than get a new job.. Most jobs you dont have "freedom" tho, u clock in for a long day & its possible ur stuck there for the next 8+ hours for maybe minimum wage.. But if the person is unhappy they get a new job... If a stock boy is making minimum wage, he doesnt open up a box with milk jugs & go put them in the toy section cuz he gets paid so little... Either do ur job or get something else but delivery peeps need to grow up

I always tip well; restaurants and fancy hotels/resorts. A doordash driver is not going to get a big tip though. I spend an hour at a waiters table and get taken care of very well. The doordash driver that can’t even say good evening or hello to me and quickly leaves is doing the bare minimum. This is a side job, second job or job for someone with no bills looking for some weekend spending cash. Don’t expect to make any kind of living. If you do you are also looking for something that is work when you need it, akin to day labor situation. The entitlement attitude may sometimes be from the person placing the order but more so for the ones that really complain about not getting tipped more. If you want more pay than complain to the group that runs the app. They are the ones taking in more money than even the restaurants that are selling the food. You can also petition for the restaurants to tip you out of their pocket per order, since you are providing a service to them as well.

A tip is based on the total of the check and the quality of the service. You want phenomenal tips? Work a a five star restaurant or get a higher paying job. I am a good tipper, but this whole "I'm entitled to x dollars tip" is way overboard.

This!!! A percentage of the order he gave him an average 10% tip. Slightly more as the order was 13.00. The driver gets a percentage of the order as well. And it's. 40 of a mile so their gas was negligible. If the system isn't paying what you need then don't work it. Period. A delivery driver is a bare minimum service. And in the case of fast food they don't even leave their car. They park the restaurant brings out you drop it at customers door. Where was the big effort? It's not like this is instacart and he shopped it for him. And also for those saying customers shouldn't use the service since it exploits the workers. Of customers stop using it then the drivers out a job with mo pay at all. Great plan.

I never leave a tip via the app but I do however write in the delivery instructions tip at the door. I tip depending on service. If they are rude don't follow directions or can't be bothered then either can I but if they provide a good service I provide a good tip.

The only time I used the app was when I went on vacation. We made a nice sized order from Olive Garden that was 20 miles away the order was almost 70 dollars and I tipped the difference of 100 to give the driver a little over 30 dollars. Funny how my order came fast and the driver made sure it was still hot and everything. HMMM....

I understand frustration of the driver but 1. You haven't even finished your job first. Imagine if waiters got tipped first then served you at a restaurant based on tip. People would be so mad. 2. Don't know person's situation. The person could have been sick or struggling and 1.50 could have been a lot of them with the food. And they may not have a choice of going out. 3. Talking like that to a customer good luck getting another job. If another employee finds out you did this, at a job where you actually have a physical boss. You won't get far. Imagine if cashiers reacted this way when customers annoyed them. They'd be fired.

Tipping should 100% be based on service. It is not the Job of the customer to make up the difference of what the company refuses to pay. I work in food for a company that doesn't allow tips, for the amount of work I have to do getting a tip once in a while would be nice but I'd never demand such. The problem with Delivery drivers through Uber and Doordash is they can do horrible jobs and still receive a tip. And then you have people who try to guilt customers into tipping, the comments here and On TT show that. In the end the customer pays $16 in fees on a $12 order and then has to add a 20% tip? The driver gets paid $3.40. and the big company collects.

The consumer is not responsible for your wages. A tip is an EXTRA "Thank You" if you do a good job. Tips shouldn't even be visible before the order is completed, they should be shown once the delivery is complete. Delivery apps spawned the spoiled and entitled crybabies doing things like this because the base pay is trash. That's not my fault as a consumer. If you can't perform the lowest level of your job, do humanity a favor and find a new job.

Okay, I will only say this once, because this entire situation is totally bull in the first place - STOP FORCING CUSTOMERS TO PAY YOUR EMPLOYEES WAGES! This c**p started during the Great Depression, which is why no other country does this. The whole freaking system started because people who had the money to do so would bribe the servers to serve them with preferential treatment, and the owners realized that by making the (totally bs) claim that if they didn't accept the bribes, they would not be getting their full paycheck because the company couldn't afford to keep paying them at the same wages. The entire situation is yet another way for wealthy people to cut costs. You should not be required to pay tips, because the workers should just be paid minimum wage like ANY OTHER WORKER IN THE US. Those that claim you get more tips for being more efficient, polite, or whatever else are completely wrong. You know why? Not everyone sees your actions as you do. This is f-f

Idc if its a $0.50 tip or a $50 tip you treat that order the same. Your job is to deliver the damn food, it is not the customers job to pay your damn wage.

As a delivery driver myself I’ll be the first to say, this driver was clearly in the wrong and his reasoning is completely jacked up! That being said you shouldn’t place less value upon the driver for your food then you would for your medicine or groceries. Rule of thumb is 8-10% of total bill! Why is this concept/knowledge missing from so many people especially the younger generation’s. Your parents got this, sorry they failed to teach you this and this will be the death of delivery! Or any other job within this scope. I’ve seen such a disregard for how people treat other human being. Nothing justifies any excuse made for such treatment. To be a decent person the golden rule is paramount. Perhaps you should get off your butts and make your own damn food, get your own groceries, sacrifice to make it through another day! Walk a mile in another shoes! See if that changes your perspective! No! Then you are truely, the root of all evil and not human at all. But rather a glutinous pig!!

What happened to the amount of a tip being determined by the service one receives? There have been times our server was given a tip that was more than the total of the bill. This was because of the excellent service we got. And there has also been a few times that a very small tip was left because of crappy service. I have been a cook/baker for 50 years. I used to tell servers who wanted to tip ME, for the job I did preparing their orders,, that I made more hourly wage than they did, so they didn't need to tip me. But now servers actually make more when you count their wage and tips. Now I am less likely to refuse an offered tip, especially when it is from a large party. I actually blame the government for the problem with tipping since now servers HAVE to claim at least 10 % of their tickets for tips. Example, if a ticket is $53.00 they have to claim at least $5.30 as a tip even if they only got $4.00.

Once upon a time, one of the few things you could have delivered was pizza. If your pizza was a wreck when it got to you, no tip. If the pizza was pristine and hot, big tip. The difference was that you tipped after delivery. Same with restaurants. Good service, big tip. Poor service, no tip. When a tip is expected in advance, expect a small tip because there's no way to know what the service will be like.

If you're going to give a garbage tip like that for something within walking distance, you deserve it. DD and other companies may not pay their workers properly, but as a customer you still know that and underpay anyway. Saying that they should get paid more is nothing more than lip service and doesn't help them.

Neither is complying to the system that treats them so poorly. The delivery guy said he was going to quit because of the garbage pay. Good. Door dash is thriving because it has employees who expect they can get by on good tips. Quit using these garbage apps and quit working for them if this is how they're treating you. And this is not a "they're stuck in this situation" problem. These apps aren't full time jobs, they never net pay better than even the worst paying minimum wage job. These gig job companies squirm their way to being exempt from basic labor standards because they successfully scapegoated their issues onto the customers using their services

Jonas missed a big issue in tipping based jobs. Wait staff and similar jobs don’t even make that luxurious $7.25/hr. The service industry has its own minimum wage, it was $2.13 here in Texas, I think it may be all the way up to 2.35/hr. Places exploit the title of waitress as well, I was shocked to learn that places like serve-yourself buffets call the people “waitress/waiters” that come by and give you a clean plate, or maybe bring a tray of rolls. I do wish the system would get an overhaul. I wish a tip was like saying thank you, something a little extra for being amazing, not a service persons base wage. Also, I have never understood why we tip based on what we spent? I’ve had amazing service at a place rated as inexpensive, and mediocre service at a place that was $75+ a person. Was my steak harder to serve to me? So why does one waitress get $7 and the other $30? Totally absurd.

I’ve been a server, and I’ve managed a restaurant, but I’ve never been a delivery driver. I admit that I don’t know exactly how drivers are paid and compensated to account for minimum wage. That said, if a server doesn’t make minimum wage through their tips, the employer HAS to make up the difference. It’s illegal to pay less than minimum wage. What bothers me the most are the people who aren’t tipping at ALL because “the company should pay their workers more.” Yes, they should. But they DON’T. The server shouldn’t have to suffer for your beliefs. Either don’t use the service, or find another way to help bring about change. None of it’s an excuse to provide crappy service or to not tip.

I help bring the change by not tipping. If more people did that, delivery driver's would stop working and suddenly the company will realise they have to take the driver's wage into account. If you don't see that that's only way things wkuld actually change it's your fault not mine.

Doordash delivery drivers should not be treated like dropping two or absolutely no coins in a vending machine and whoalah! You get your candy bar. These drivers were burning $5 a gallon gas to drive ten miles to deliver your food. A little more respect in terms of a better tip is in order. Just think of all the road hazards and the traffic.

People got so accustomed to tipping that people believe it's the customer job to tip which it's not. In any job where you receive tips it is stated in the contract tips are gratuity. Which means a gift from the customer to show appreciation for your service. Never have their been issues like this is delivery but in food service. Tipping before service is ridiculous high delivery fees are ridiculous but at the same time if you pay doordash monthly rate there is no delivery fee over $12 at certain restaurants. The customer regardless if its 0.4 miles should have tipped more than $1.50 that's insulting because the driver is giving you the courtesy of sitting on your couch to get your fast food. The driver on the other hand shouldn't have left his food in the tree and curse him out after he deserves his a*s kicked for that. That driver is a coward. The customer is dishonest too because you are the food and still requested a refund. So you basically got free food.

I use a grocery delivery service because I have to, and try to tip 10% because of my budget. I do more of I can, if I see the delivery was hard. In restaurants, when I used to go to them, I would adjust my order to make a tip for good service. If I could not tip higher, I would apologize, and make sure to tell management what an asset they had. I get it, the phrasing of state service worker wage laws allows payroll managers to cheat these workers, especially if they list drivers as contractors, which they really are not. Most delivery services allow comments to the company, in the service survey or through the website. A time or two, I have said drivers ought to get more. Regarding delivery fee, since the company needs to survive, they need something. But the driver deserves at least half. It isn't as though the company is spending overhead on a work station and utilities and property taxes.

I'm so grateful these services are available when they didn't exist not long ago! I'm so grateful that even if it's a bit pricey, it's something I can count on on my worst days. Whether I pay the delivery person directly via tips or pay their employer via higher prices or some other means, its still incredible that we middle class people can have such a luxury! Especially such a helpful one! People spend money on way more foolish things anyway, haha!

I'm not agreeing with the delivery guys breakdown but it's time all these lazy entitled pricks start paying properly for the services rendered. You are lazy stupid and waste full.... Pay the guy who is delivering your food a fair amount or get off your lazy entitled butt and get it yourself.

Driver had no way of knowing he was delivering to someone who works from home. That customer is definitely lazy and doesn't understand that delivery is a luxury. First off, items cost a bit more through the DD app but that's just to keep their app running smoothly and financed. If you don't want to pay for luxury, there's always the option to pick up yourself. Don't belittle drivers who don't do their job properly when you don't tip accordingly. Have common sense.

Delivery is a LUXURY. People act like they're entitled to all services just because they are available. If you can't afford a luxury, don't buy it. We all know by now that having food delivered, with delivery fees and tips added, costs way more than picking it up. It's been that way with pizza for ages. Don't like it? Go pick up your pizza. Getting my groceries delivered is a newish luxury service - it costs more than going to the store, as I pay higher prices, delivery fee, and a tip to save myself the time and effort. If I don't like it, I can go myself. WE ARE NOT ENTITLED TO SOMEONE'S SERVICES FOR FREE OR ALMOST FREE WHEN WE KNOW WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THOSE SERVICES, whether they are paid to their employer or directly to the employee!! People are so hung up on the semantics of how the driver gets paid. All employees get paid from their customers, sometimes it goes first through the company and comes out as wages, sometimes it comes directly to the employee. Who cares what route the money takes? You can make excuses but you know you are responsible for the cost of that person bringing you your delivery.

@JONAS There's an error at the bottom regarding minimum wage amounts. I live in Texas and this is the minimum wage, however, you fail to state that there is also a "TIPPED EMPLOYEES" MINIMUM WAGE which in Texas and many other states is just $2.13 per hour. This has not gone up in 30 years and continues to allow employers to dance all the way to the bank while customers and service staff go head to head over the scraps that fall to us from their fat storehouses above

It's simple really. If you don't believe in tipping or tip poorly avoid services that require tipping. No sit-downs, no pizza deliveries, no service apps. You're only punishing the workers by not tipping and nobody else. You get poor service, go through the proper channels with your complaints. It's that simple.

The problem is the new generation. Period. End of discussion. These services are special services that did not exist before...you are getting an opportunity to access them and for that special consideration is an obvious reciprocation. That special consideration goes beyond any standard established tipping especially in an inflated Biden economy. Dude, you are rediciculous. People who don't tip appropriately are a special kind of person and you don't even realize how embarrassed you should be posting this.

If you don't believe in tipping don't use tipping services. You're only punishing workers by poorly tipping/not tipping. You're not proving a point or causing change, more like stealing the servers time/table and wages. Noones forcing you to use these services and there are more productive ways of changing the system. So again, if you don't believe in tipping, avoid sit downs and service apps. Stop boning folk who aren't responsible for the system. If you get a bad server then talk to management.

Bottom Line….Aside from an idiotic sense of “Entitlement” A huge Amount of BOTH-(But Not All), The Drivers AND the Customers! I’ve been both for several companies and the One biggest factor aside from that which is killing this business on both ends, is that FREAKIN’ Delivery Fee!! I’ve had countless customers—(even People who tipped VERY WELL)—-who had HONEST To God “NO IDEA” that Drivers don’t get one Penny of that delivery charge; If some never did this work, the many just don’t know and are just as shocked to hear. This is how good places are SCREWING Their drivers by keeping it all. ESPECIALLY the places who don’t lose one extra cent by delivering—-like pizza for example. Whether it’s pickup or deliver, it comes In the same Exact box/& or bag for sodas you’d get either way. So why the hell do they deserve an extra $5, $6 or even & $7.50 on top of that when the driver slaves away for it. Ditch the delivery fee in those cases, or atleast SPLIT that fee w/ your drivers!!!!

He tipped the minimum, nothing wrong with that however I tip according to the convenience of not having to go get the food. For example if the bill is $10 then I’ll tip 50% because an extra $5 is worth me not having to go get the food.

So glad I don't live in a country like the US where I feel obligated to tip. In Spain I only tip if I liked the service and the way I was treated as a customer.

If you can’t tip, don’t order out. Simply go pick it up. I guarantee you’ll spend a lot more than $1.50 in gas. Dashers sometimes go out and barely make enough to replace the gas they put in their car, out of their own pockets. You have no idea how far they had to drive to the restaurant, and then to your house, or how long they sat at a restaurant waiting for your food. Not to mention the wear, and tear they’re putting on their vehicle for you. Only a worthless, inconsiderate human being tips $1.50.

Doordash allows the driver to decline an order, BUT it's a bad mark against the driver's rating. Too many bad marks & Doordash will deactivate the driver's (fire the driver) account. And the driver can never be re-instated with Doordash. So, Doordash has all thir driver's by their balls...ugh.

Speaking as a sensible adult human being, WHY does the USA expect customers to pay "TIPS!"??? Why not add the cost to the bill and pay the bloody delivery drivers?? Honestly I find it terribly difficult to comprehend the unfairness of so much in the USA. So THIRD World!

Gas is too high for people to expect deliveries for pennies. If you can't afford to pay a 5.00 tip for someone to bring you your food, go get it yourself.

i am lucky enough to dash in an area where most customers tip $5 to $8 average. I get a few stiffs and i just pray for them. They're often teens who don't know better. If i didn't get good tips, I'd just break even on gas. The price of used cars, gas and insurance are all high these days. People who tip $1.50 are sponging off the good tippirs and the drivers. They should get off their lazy butts and go get their own food, IMHO

What is truly BS is that the delivery companies get like a 30% cut of the food prices itself too and STILL don't pay the poor drivers worth a dang... That said, the tip up front thing is a joke, but I understand why they do it, or else tips would always be low from cheap people who don't care once they have their food. I always tip the recommended amount and I simply order extra to make the whole order worth it for both driver and I, these delivery services are NOT meant for small orders to be a good value, if you can't order at least $20 and tip at least the lower recommended amount then you are too broke to order the luxury of food ready to eat delivered right to your door.

I only tip when I really really want to. Most of the times I don't at all. Most jobs involve doing something for another human being, so why do delivery drivers in particular are 'supposed' to get tips? Why aren't we tipping the chef? Why aren't we tipping the cashier in the shoe shop? Why aren't we tipping the people inside the factories who create stuff like computers or dolls for us? We buy stuff, including the service of others. But tipping? That's our choice and our choice only as customers, and we don't have to tip at all if we don't want to.

Door dash, and Uber need to pay better, a tip is not part of a job. The definition of a tip is for doing something great beyond the scope of your duties. We need to be like Italy and tip $1 for great service or just round up to the next dollar for typical service.

Door Dash needs to pre-charge for the tip. Then if there is any question whether it is enough, the dasher can complain to the company NOT the customer. That’s what Vons and Instacart do and it seems to work well. And the customer avoids a “tree delivery”.

If they charge a delivery fee, I subtract that from the tip I was giving. That is why I pay for the delivery subscription. Now when ever they are delivering i always get the message they are on the way after doing another delivery., so basically they are double dipping for part of the delivery. When that happens I give 1 star he is double dipping at my expense after all. I USE DOORDASH if something goes wrong with your order they make it right with a refund or credit. DON'T USE UBER .lwhen something goes wrong with your order my experience with uber has been you have to send a picture of your order and receipt that's B.S. Basically I tip what I want when I want. My criteria for tipping, 1) distance 2) size of order 3) delivery fee 4) gas surcharge

You do realize that people have put in high tips to get their orders delivered and then within the alloted hour window change them to lower amounts or no tip it all. There has been real problems out here with what is called bait tipping. Customers put in high tips to get food fast then yank the tip and delivery person is left making 2.50 for that delivery. 2.50 to drive 16 minutes is horrible it happens more than people think.

Unfortunately I have ended up in this situation a few times. I had one driver drop my food from head height as she stared angerly at my security camera. Not knowing that I had only put 2$ on the app becasue I perfer to pay cash so they don't have to claim it on taxes and have it in hand and are not waiting for payday. Imagine standing at your door to see your driver latterly drop your soup and baby food from head height as you stand there with cash in hand to have them... this is why I stopped eating out as well as ordering delivery. Tiping is not a source of income, but then again now we have the press the button for tip amount at the register when getting five guys or at the donut shop .. makes me stop going to a place if they ask for tips on their machine because tells me they arnt worth much since won't pay their own employees

As someone from the UK I find all this crazy . We have delivery services such as "Just eat" and "Uber eats " etc however many "takeaways" have their own delivery service and on their menus it states a delivery charge there is also a cut off , meaning they can refuse an order because it's deemed you live too far for their delivery service . There is no other charges other than the cost of food , even the specialist delivery services such as Uber Eats don't have any mandatory "tip" that choice is completely up to the customer whether or not they give a "tip" it's not expected though many people do tip something . The drivers all get a "basic" wage which is minimum wage at least some pay more and "tips" are more a bonus than expected. I definitely do not understand tipping someone BEFORE they have given the expected service . Tipping after the service if they have provided the service as expected or better, but to tip beforehand is bizarre.

In the US we have regular minimum wage and tipped minimum wage that can be as low as $2. That is what the companies pay. Customers "benefit" because our delivery fees are much lower (what we pay thr company) but that is because they arent paying the driver. Tips are the majority of a driver or server's wages here.

Back on the day when self respect wasn't as rare as hen's teeth, people in the service industry did the best they could regardless of how much they expected a person to tip. (And back then, the vast majority of customers were regulars). They bore on mind that it all evens out in the end, something entitled little turds like the driver in this article are precluded from doing by the Narcissistic rage. Put another way, the under 40 crowd will only pursue the carrot if they can SEE the carrot. * I'm currently in Vegas. A few hours ago I sat down at a casino bar to play some video poker. I put $100 into the machine and with less than $20 left I hit a $1k payoff. Three hands later I DID IT AGAIN. I then cashed out an and left the casino. The next day a cocktail waitress I've known for years told me the place was abuzz about me stiffing the bartender. "I STIFFED HIM BECAUSE I DIDN'T ORDER ANYTHING. (I don't drink, and bar coffee is hideous). F**k'em all.

A lot of you answered your own question of why you don't get tips. One). Your attitude shows in every message 2). We've paid for a service and it's just that we didn't pay for you directly we paid a business to search through a pool of people whom of which are willing to deliver food that's it there's not tip required at all we don't tip doctors we don't tip mail people we don't tip Amazon think about it Amazon never throws a package of someone's roof or in a tree they don't even get tipped maybe the problem isn't customers not tipping the problem is within yourself if you can't work a job that pays a living wage there's a reason for that and 85% likely it's your attitudes and lack of want to achieve

It seems that less educated, and more entitlement-disordered a person is the more they feel they should be paid alot and tipped. First off, a tip is a gratuity. It comes from GRATITUDE. It is NOT guaranteed and shouldn't HAVE to be. Most door dashers aren't capable of decent employment and want to get rich. That's, at BEST, stupid and unrealistic. Others think the customer is wrong, and deserves retaliation if they don't fork over all their money AND their FIRST BORN. THEN, there are those who can't work long hours because of home and children issues but want to make a little money on the side so they can live better. And there are many who like helping others who may not get out much, and, likewise, don't have money for a big tip. So all things CONSIDERED, let's get real here. A tip is a gift, period. Times are tough and rules are being rewritten to get more money your BOSS should be giving you NOT EXPECTING CUSTOMER to bear that expense. Do it right. BE PLEASANT. GET WELL TIPPED.

Need to do away with food delivery apps. If your to lazy to get it yourself then don't eat. I always tip well when I order food from places that have delivery as my area don't have Doordash, Uber Eats or Postmates. Since these apps are geared towards the lazy or the feeling entitled there is a easy fix. Flat rate delivery fee. Under 5 miles $10 and 2 dollars a mile over 5 miles going 100% to the driver. I don't blame the driver for being mad. $1.50 really? Gas is $4 a gallon not to mention car maintenance. Nobody takes that into consideration, not to mention how far the driver has to drive to pick up the food. Bottom line tip well or PICK IT UP YOURSELF.

It isnt all lazy peopls, I use delivery services to get lunch at work because I get a half hour lunch only and it takes at least 15 minutes to get anywhere to get food with traffic, then the drive back, there goes my whole lunch. But if I get it delivered I can get food from anywhere and take my full half hour to eat - I just start my break when my food gets here or order it to be delivered 15 -20 minutes before my break on days I have too many meetings and need to preplan. But I also tip a minimum of 25% or $5 whichever is more (sometimes I just really want a Wendy's baked potato).

Reading through some of the comments, one guy is so pathetic and inconsiderate, no, no one forces anyone to deliver food, it's a small time chump change job, some people don't have a job, and they find it so easy to door dash, but you have so many customers that literally take advantage of the service, even folks with range Rovers parked and a $600,000.00 home and sometimes door dash will make many attempts to take advantage of the delivery driver's too and they see no urgency on anything. Some of the customers that don't tip, ask for too much, they tend to put extra instructions and do this or that, or go up 3 flights of stairs, or walk the entire apartment community trying to find them, like you know this person and I will tell you, if you can afford to order food and use a delivery service, you can afford to tip reasonably. I do not accept any orders under $4.00 and any orders where the miles are more than the money. Common sense, self employment, and your own boundaries!

This driver shouldn't be in a customer facing job. I'd pull a nuclear Karen on someone that treated me like that. I've only used these services once (at the start of COVID) and I didn't leave a tip when I ordered and couldn't figure out how to leave one after. Still seems really backwards. I've considered trying again, but each time the fees add at least $10, not counting the stupid tip. There is no reason that these services should allow tips, particularly before delivery.

Sounds like the customer just wanted breakfast. Nothing to do with laziness. My disabled roommate orders regularly because it's much easier than trying to make his own in a small kitchen in a wheelchair. He always tips fairly well, yet we almost never get our food hot or within a reasonable time or to the right address. Many times we've gotten a text saying the food was delivered yet it's nowhere to be found. I tried ordering a few times and don't do it anymore; it's too expensive, and the service is usually c**p so I just don't bother with the food apps anymore

Can we just stop calling it a tip already? Just call it a user defined service fee/bribe already, that's essentially what it is at this point. You are not using it to show gratitude at good work at this point, but instead using it to bribe workers to pick up your meal and hopefully actually give it to you instead of doing something stupid to it to spite you for not bribing them enough. (And before anyone says it, I do not use delivery apps, but i do believe hidden fees where the driver is congratulated for accepting money and not properly doing their job because they felt they were being underpayed is a shitty societal set of values)

I've never ordered meals but use InstaCart & this adds a tip but the customer can change it up or down. I tip 20% as I do in Restaurants plus tip more upon delivery because I want the driver to get paid for the delivery as well as shopping. It's not easy to deliver to me & I want the Shopper to know I truly appreciate this effort they needed to make. Tipping ahead of time doesn't convey this. I realize food is different but IF the driver delivers to my door, they will definitely get an extra tip.

That's the problem with this generation now. Gen z doesn't want to work conventional jobs because they hate having to follow a schedule and structure. They want to bank on these "hustle" jobs but then they become entitled. I for one do tip well because I get their circumstance. However, not everyone will. In my opinion, that is morally wrong on their part but by the end of the day you are not entitled to even a dime. These kids want these "flexible" jobs but then commit atrocities like this when they don't get their way. If it isn't paying enough, get a conventional job. No, they just want to make their own schedule to sit around and play video games all night. It's disgusting.

Look at the upcharge on each item next time you DoorDash. The markups are outrageous. Delivery drivers are out here thinking the customers are going to fund 2 businesses (restaurant and delivery provider) AND provide a living wage via tips to the delivery driver. Somehow those same delivery drivers that are demanding a living wage and refusing to work retail or food service until the EMPLOYER pays properly, think it's on the customer to pay a living wage when it comes to delivery services.

I drive Doordash and Uber. First, I would NEVER do a customer like that and I've delivered many orders where I didn't get tipped anything. The thing that people are getting confused is that Doordash and Uber drivers are INDEPENDENT BUSINESS OWNERS as far as the employment world is concerned. So, instead of looking at it like a tip, you should be looking at it like a CAB OR UBER RIDE for your meal and you are hiring the driver to deliver it. It's not like a waitress that actually is employeed by the restaurant and working for a tip.

Do your job good and you will be tipped. If you suck you may not get anything, but I will be damned if I am going to tip you 1st in an attempt to bribe you to do the r****d job that you have chosen.

Alright, please tip all the other people who aren't coming to your door, they did work too to get that food to your house. Without them there would have been nothing for the driver to give you. Also tip the farmers who got the vegetables to that restaurant. wait, this isn't right. You just need to pay for what you bought, and the price should include everyone into account without needing to tip anyone.

Tipping is for a job well done. It is not a mandatory thing anyone should expect to get unless they are doing a good job. That's it. As much as some people want to make it a requirement, or something that is expected of a customer to do regardless of the job they do, that is not what a tip is and will never be that either. The fact anyone is asked to tip beforehand is insane to me and being from Las Vegas, tipping is a huge part of the service industry here. And to the writer of this article, the minimum wage is different in different states because the cost of living is different in each. The person making $15 in Cali isnt doing better than someone making 7.25 in Texas. No customer is forced to 'shoulder the burden of paying someone part of their wage via tips'. Someone's pay is the responsibility of their employer only.

Tipping culture needs to go It used to be that a tip was for extra service beyond the normal that the job requires. Just because you do your job is not a basis for an AUTOMATIC TIP. I never tip in advance because the service is not yet provided.

I'm a driver for Doordash and would just like to inform people who use our service, that you can add a tip up to 30 days AFTER delivery using the app. I delivery to people who don't tip because they may be kids that have limited funds and this may be their only meal. I have a 98 percent acceptance rate on all orders.

Were that you exemplified the normal rather than the exception. Since you have a high acceptance rate and seem like a good person... what standard should we use? I mean, realistically and fair to both Dasher and consumer. Does it seem to anyone else that Door Dash is pitting consumer versus Dasher? Let's get ready to stumble!!!

As someone who is poor and mentally ill I cant get out of the house sometimes because 1. I get too anxious, 2. Gas is too much to go get a $13 burger so it makes sense to me to get it delivered instead. I don't understand why I have to be somebody's employer and am expected to pay a high tip for something I can barely afford myself. If someone can't tip you should probably assume the best about someone if you're going to assume anything at all. Other than that just do the job you chose to have.

these people who deliver by choice don't realize their so called job for the most part optional. While I'm fully willing to leave a $5 or more tip for anyone who handles my be the waiter, waitress, delivery driver, many more people aren't because either they are just against tipping or only feel like tipping is something you should do in an actual restaurant, not a side hussle that is totally optional just so you can make some extra cash. You want a good tip delivery drivers then do your job better and do it right. Heard way too many stories of delivery app drivers taking a bite out of the food that isn't even their food

I have just recently completed a full year as a dasher and these are some of my findings: As I live in a small town that only has so many residents, it has allowed me some unique insights. After the first year I decided a change from doordash was needed, so I downloaded the Uber Eats app and starting working for them. To my surprise, many of the people in my small town enjoyed my friendly and prompt service so they started switching over to my new platform. This is where it gets REAL scary...In my conversations with some customers, because of their switch, they told me their actual tip amounts. It was literally half of what doordash paid on the app. Doordash is keeping HALF the tips!!!! Just watch, here shortly you will be flipping through the t.v channels and see one of those class action lawsuits for doordash and other violators like them.

I'm no doubt going to upset people here, sorry, not sorry, but I go out for a meal very infrequently. Maybe twice a year. And I only go for a special occasion. It is not my business how busy it is in the kitchen or how understaffed the servers are because 'Fred' rang in sick. Again. I don't take those things into account, because I shouldn't even be aware of them. If I get good service from the servers, then I will tip them. If you are tutting and practically throwing the plates on the table, the chances are you probably won't. Or at least it might not be as much as you were hoping for. Ordering in food, maybe another two times, the same applies. I will tip you because you saved me having to go out, but it won't be anything like 20%. I get that you have to pay petrol etc, but that's really not my problem. I don't tip a parcel courier and that's basically the same principle. If I buy something from ebay, I don't expect to pay for the seller's shoe leather to get to the post office.

If he doesn't believe he's being paid enough, then perhaps he should bestir himself into getting a better paying job with a company who doesn't rely on customers to pay their workers.

If you ask the delivery driver was in the wrong you can decline orders that don't work with you like what the driver was mad about or the distance being to long. When me and my mom door dash we take orders where the pay is greater than the distance and a lot of times we go to people within walking distance of the store. And what the driver doesn't realize if you have a high rating for delivery's you get high priority for high paying delivery's.

It's not my business how the company you chose to work for compensates you. Companies should pay employees a livable wage for their work. I am a nurse. I can't treat my patients poorly because the facility I work for pays poorly.. I had the option to NOT work there after all. And if I wanted additional pay, you advocate for change. If it doesn't happen. Search for other options. It's absurd for servers, drivers, etc to expect people to somehow KNOW what your wages are and throw your should be hourly/salary your way. Tipping is a bonus.. it always has. Companies, properly pay your employees. Stop playing with humans wages. Employees, do good work. The business you chose is risky. You might get it, you might not. Don't play with karma. Consumers, pay for your service accordingly, and tip how you see fit.

I'm lost because I DoorDash for a living and I don't even see how much of what I made for the delivery came from the company and how much came from tip until I already took a picture of the food in front of the customer's door or wherever they wanted it and am back in my car. Not only that but I accepted the delivery before I was happy with the amount I was paid to do it before hand, why would I care how much of that came from DD vs tips?

Regarding tips, I always take into account what it takes to provide the service. In a restaurant, I pay the waitress/waiter 15-20% for service for 1-4 people, 25-30% for large groups, but only 10% when I am picking up food at a restaurant. I tip according to the service given. However, when I order from a delivery service, I always tip according to the driver’s driving time plus gasoline. Anything less than $10 tip is downright cheap. Tipping a delivery person is NOT like tipping a waitress, you are tipping on the cost of food alone, but on the service. Think about it, would you work for someone just for a tip? Everyone deserves to be paid at least the minimum wage. Too often these delivery companies pay very little to the drivers. If you don’t think a person deserves to be paid the worth of the service, than, do it yourself. I don’t think the driver should have been so petty to leave the food in the tree, but neither should have accepted the order.

As a Dasher, I feel for the driver, but I'm on the customers side with this. The Dasher app doesn't explicitly tell you what the tip is, but it does tell you the base pay and tip totalled together. The driver should've just declined the order if it was too low. If you accept then you are agreeing to finish the job to completion.

So that may be his choice of employment but when you go out to eat you leave a tip, because someone is essentially bringing you your food? If you can't afford to tip atleast $2 to $3 you shouldn't be using the service. That's the convenience for you not to have to leave your home it's the least you can do what goes around comes around pay it forward. I never seen so many cheap people. It's almost not about the money but just disrespectful. And if he doesn't like the way doordash does their tipping option use a different service that let's you tip after if you should decide to leave one. Smh

I never use them because the actual companies shaft both the restaurants and the delivery people. On the flip side, what makes people think that tipping is a God given right. Or they can demand an amount.

The driver has a job with responsibilities. He did not fulfill those responsibilities. Bottom line, he deserves zero tip. A tip is given for a job well done. The delivery charge is for the delivery. A tip should be appreciated, not expected. I worked delivering pizza for 5 years. I quit when the tipping got bad. Thankfully I could afford to live without it. We live in the USA and have the freedom to seek out a different job if we are unhappy with the one we have. This driver should seek out a job they can be happy with, or go back to school to train for a job they can be happy with.

I’m a very good tipper, even if the service is marginal. But, owners paying their staff beans and “expecting” customers to pay their salary is BS. Labor is a cost of doing business, always has been. Charge what you think you must to cover your desired margin, which includes labor. If your margin expectations are too high, you’ll go out of business…plain and simple. In the meantime, I’ll reward staff with a good tip when the service exceeds expectations…as it should be.

Yea sure the driver shouldn't have left the food in the tree but in all seriousness tipping someone 1.50 for something you could have gotten yourself since you live within walking distance of said restaurant is definitely a d**k move. You should tip more solely on the fact that you live that close but don't want to get off your lazy a*s and go get it yourself.

First of all this delivery driver is my personal hero. What people don't understand is 1, Doordash rates their drivers on a point system and if a driver declines deliveries, due to any reason, this goes against you. Meaning fewer high paying deliveries, so in order to continue getting deliveries, you have to accept a few shitty ones, which sucks. Its a catch 22. The bottom line is door dash sucks and customers who cant tip 15% should get their triffling a@@es of the couch and go get their own food. Problem solved.

I am a lifelong over tipper. Like, it's one of the reasons that I am divorced! I get that if you tip before service, sometimes you get better service. I would probably never go as low as $1.50. That said, why does door dash, other food delivery, force people to tip prior to delivery? Like, does tipping mean that you don't retrieve your order out of a tree? I have pre tipped and gotten orders stolen from my porch when I clearly ask the person to bring it to me. I feel for both the customer and the driver. Tipping is based on service. If you provide me a positive experience, I probably tip 30%. If you are crappy, I still give you the 15% that you need to claim on your taxes. But, the problem is tipping before service is rendered

Drivers get salaries to do their jobs and they get salaries for that. No tips should be required, if they are not happy they could quit the job and look for something else to do for living. Low wages are issues for unions to discuss and correct.

That's what happens when you don't pay your employees living wages, make them pay for their own gas, ride, insurance etc .... and expect the customer to make up for it. Tips are there to award GOOD service. At least it is in most other countries. If someone just does their job ... why tip? I don't get tips for showing up to work every morning. I get a "tip" (i.e. bonus) if I do something exceptionally well. Your tip culture is f'd up!

Idk what's the deal with all of these. Just revisit the facts: -tip is optional and a charity -not all people are generous for many reasons: >Not social climber >Not that financially liberated >Logical thinker >Or what not -customers already paid for the food, service fees and income of the food app company -the order itself is already a contribution to the food establishments the fact that it's additional sales -as long as customers respect drivers and vice versa, there should be no reason to resent.. Indeed too much even of a good thing can be bad. Tipping culture has been so abundant that it made people think it's obligatory. It's like demanding help rather than requesting it with an option to decline bc it's every person's right. These dilemmas of whether or not to tip and how much should only be a topic amongst the really wealthy whom also happen to be the ones collecting what could've been the higher wages of the drivers. Middle-classes should stop being social climbers pretending to give especially higher tippers, just to please others and make them look like they are well off. Availing of a luxury service even if your middle class shouldn't mean your social climber bc everyone would like to have some luxury and convenience at least every once in a while. When they do, it doesn't mean they can afford to tip especially if big.

I really hate tips, they could just go and increase the price of the food, and mention that part of it goes to the delivery guy. The increase in the price should be done by the app or company that's partnering with the restaurant. I don't think this will end well, but it would be better if the companies just increased the wages of the waiter and delivery people based on the customer reviews they get.

All of you dashers who are complaining need to wake up, then grow up. You are working an unskilled job - yes that’s right - what you do displays no skill that is worthy of a high tip. You drive around in your car hitting your vape pen being the middle man for people who are too lazy or too busy to get their own food. Just because your mommy told you you were special growing up doesn’t mean you get to get to put in minimal effort for maximum/high reward. Go learn a skill and get a job, if you need money in the meantime keep dashing, but don’t lie to yourself and think you deserve to get paid a sizable tip for minimal service.

You chose a s**t job because it takes zero physical labor. You got a s**t tip before you did your shot job. You did your job in a shitty manor. Do better with your life or stop complaining because noone made you deliver food at your own convenience. Also people stop acting like the convenience of sitting on your butt, not cooking, not driving, and not wasting your gas is only worth $1.50....the tip should be for the amount of inconvenience you avoided. If that's only $1.50 than your a lazy piece of s**t that should have gotten their own damn food.

What people has to understand that the ones that deliver for DoorDash, Uber , Zifty or any others these people do not work for them they are independent contractors if the customer is going to be lazy and go through the services they do need to tip them they’re not getting paid for delivering food. They get paid when the customer tips them and it depends on how much the order is will depend on the tip but a normal tip is just like in a restaurant is 15% of the total bill.

Very unacceptable. This young man doesn't know the customers financial situation. Also, maybe the customer didn't really care for the service. Maybe the kid took too long and the food got cold. I've also been part of the whole gig economy. Yeah, I didn't like how I got treated sometimes, so I started my own business. If you don't like the service industry, then get yourself out of it. I suggest getting yourself out of it with a lateral transition however rather than via getting sacked. This type of behavior is deserving of getting sacked though. Very unacceptable

This is why in Europe they discourage tipping everyone gets a paid wage... I worked doing deliveries for 3 years in my town. Take the good with the bad. But Doordarsh and Uber are corporate and they make a ton of $ off everyday hard worming people. Take it to the corporations they make millions. But ya always tip generously worse things can happen to ur food lol...

I agreed I dash and dude at least left a tip. So many people don't even tip and that is where the problem is!! They can afford good food but to lazy to go get and even leave $1. Door dash really needs to give people strikes for 0.00 tip. After 3 dashers should be able to not accept and not hurt acceptance rating. People are forced to accept to not hurt rating but if non tippers than rating shouldn't be affected!!

I wish we would abolish tipping except for unusually incredible service that goes above and beyond. I tip all the time for mediocre service. So done with it.

If you're not willing to do something yourself, you should be willing to pay someone else who does it for you. That said, here are some other thoughts.... Commentors claim you should give money for gas, at least. So let's figure this out: gas is $3.50, the avg modern car gets minimum 25mpg. Hungry guy lives .4mi from store so hungry dude should pay $0.056 for gas (that's less than 10 cents). On a bad day it might take 5min to drive .5mi. If delivery dude would normally make $15/hr, that would be $1.25 for 5min. Hungry dude actually gave delivery dude a raise by tipping $1.50 ($1.25 + $0.056 =$1.31). You can't claim wear and tear on vehicle, because the gov't pays that (up to $0.52cpm) if you're tax savvy. Personally, I might have gone to $3 just because I didn't have to put on pants, but it all comes down to being paid for time. Hungry dude compensated delivery dude adequately *for his time*.

I get both side of the argument. I do dash mainly as a side hustle but also when I am out of work. The thing that bugs me is first he would not know the tip amount until he completes the delivery. At least that is how it works on my father app. The second is although trust me many times I would kill to have said what this guy did but ya id prefer be a decent human being.. Trust me on this though if he only got 1.50 tip and the usual Door dash pay of $2 for that distance it's much smarter to reject it given most deliveries take way longer then people think. The food often isn't prepared when you arrive. Google maps half the time takes you to a nearby but wrong location. Many orders have no building numbers or gate codes etc etc. Most orders that should take 10 to 15 mins take 30 minutes of your time. That being said yes a bigger tip is appreciated but truthfully I think the issue is doordash pay. Cause at an order paying 3.50 for 30 mins you are earning below minimum wage.

A crucial thing you're all missing, door dash drivers often cannot pass uber or Lyft inspection. Their cars are often either too trashed or not a 4 door. It's not always the case, but often they can't just go to another provider.

The delivery driver is stupid for accepting an order like that, I postmated for years and I was able to average 45 bucks an hour from 4-8pm and roughly 20-25$ all other times just by declining all fast food restaurants and holding out for fancy restaurants in rich areas. Try to avoid the ghetto as well as breakfast and lunch unless you know you're going to get big business clientele, otherwise you won't even make minimum wage after gas and taxes delivering somebody six chicken McNuggets at a time. You have to let the rookies and Scrubs take those orders for the app to survive while you snipe the better orders.

Ok, let's clear up something. It's not so much a tip as a bid for service. Second, for those who say $5 is too much, you have to remember everything comes out of the driver's pocket. Gas, insurance,etc. Now the thing is, we don't have to accept the orders. If I get a $3 order I decline it in a heartbeat. Most drivers have less than a 20% acceptance rate. That means 80%+ orders just sit there and don't get delivered. So you don't get your food. That leaves 2 choices, tip or get it yourself. Now, if you're too lazy to get it yourself or too cheap to tip maybe you shouldn't be ordering. Lastly, it's amazing how many people are willing to give their money to a faceless corporation but unwilling to throw a few bucks to an individual who's working hard.

A tip of $1.50 is pretty sad but there's no excuse for this behavior! I would recommend just getting some fresh air and walk to get breakfast! But i guess if you cant give the delivery driver more than $1.50 than i wouldnt bother going to a restaurant where you got to tip at least 10-20% depending on where you live! There are always two sides to the problem but delivery guy went way to far and needs to find a new job if he can't deal with a shitty customer that can't even pay for gas money! So my real recommendation is to just make your own breakfast and you won't have to deal with people that have bad days or crazy delivery drivers!

I am siding with the Doordash people here. If you can afford expensive habits like eating out, tip between twenty to thirty percent of the receipt total. These people are taking time out of THEIR day, burning fuel as well as wear and tear on THEIR vehicle to perform a SERVICE for YOU. If you can't afford to tip respectfully, might be time to a) get off your fat a$$ and go get it yourself, b) don't eat out, or c) learn how to operate a stove or oven and cook your own damned food in the first place. I don't want to hear this "I can't afford to tip" b.s. Might be time to stop eating out too. Ramen noodles are twenty five cents a pack and take three minutes to cook. No tipping necessary. But you need to stop taking economic advantage of other people doing YOU a service. Nuff said.

The problem is no matter how well you do your job there are so many of these entitled assholes that have no morals. These drivers also maintain vehicles and added insurance to do this job and in my opinion you should never tip less than 20% and even a small order of food being brought to your doorstep is worth no less than a $5 tip. Go pick up your food if you don’t want to appreciate these people who do these jobs. Atleast they do have jobs and aren’t out robbing you or spending all their time doing drugs and signing up for welfare. Have morals folks and appreciate every person just like you want appreciation for doing your job.

I am a driver for Uber and UberEats, and if you're going to utilize the service, then you need to tip industry standard which is a minimum of 20%. A lot of the time delivery person has to wait in a drive-thru line for over 20 minutes, like at McDonald's once the lobby has closed. This is why I am prone to start canceling orders after 15 minutes of waiting because the orders generally don't pay much in the first place, and to make a good wage, you can't waste time behind waiting because time is money. However, society is just straight-up cheap! People are under the misconception that tips are included in an Uber fare. Sorry to disappoint, but it's not! I go out of my way to accommodate a customer, which is shown in my 5-star rating so when I accommodate a customer with his request, he best take that into consideration when tipping. You get what you pay for...your cheapness will justifiably warrant mediocre service.

Also I don't know if anyone cares or realizes if you deny orders on door dash it counts against you as a driver.

It’s NOT a “tip”!! It’s a bid for service. You’re adding an enticement for expedited service. No different than paying next day shipping (does that go to the Fed Ex driver?) the company uses that to make the accommodation, a gig driver is a de-facto company that facilitates product movement between entities. While this driver exhibited poor judgement, perhaps we’d all have a better understanding of the dynamic of we started looking at this additional monies for what it actually is.

I deliver for a local restaurant, as a retirement gig, and worked for the post office for 34 years before retiring. Here’s some tips for people regarding delivery- 1) Put some damn numbers on your house. Lord have mercy, why would you want the post office, fedex, Amazon, or food delivery people going in circles looking for your residence. A simple consideration if you want things delivered timely and correctly. 2) Keep your entrance and stairs free from tripping hazards. The handrail shouldn’t come off in somebody’s hand when they use it, and your stairs shouldn’t be wobbling. Ice & snow should be cleared if you expect deliveries. 3) If you don’t want to pay the delivery fees or tip the driver; go pick it up yourself. Amazing that people will tip a waitress that carries a dish to a table, but think a delivery driver puts in less effort. I got news for you, the delivery driver is sometimes putting in double the effort, especially if the weather is bad, along with driving conditions.

Unfortunately many companies do not pay their workers a decent wage. For some reason they believe tips will cover this. Because economy is truly struggling pandemic war inflation mortgage fraud many people barely have enough to pay bills let alone anything extra. But I know many delivery people waiters waitresses and though we live on soc sec. Very tight. We try to leave a decent tip. If I do not have it one day ... I make it up next day. This driver was upset. So instead of punching someone or worse shooting they put food in the tree. Not smart. But I do understand why. Maybe the customer could give a little more next time. Just a thought.

The whole thing is so exploitative for everyone. The drivers don't get paid enough so what would normally be a decent tip is not enough, they gouge the customer and the business with fees and more fees, and when your order is screwed up by the restaurant no one will help beyond maybe giving you a refund. I don't blame that on the driver, when you go through a 3rd party that's what can happen, but it really sucks. I had another bad experience with Doordash last night, and that is pretty much it for me. I'm only going to get delivery from in-house, like pizza. At least the driver gets paid to bring me the food that was forgotten. This tip culture is absolutely insane. All it means is that American business figured out how to make other people pay their employees' wages.

If base pay of a job can not support you or family, maybe think of another career. Tipping is a joke, and a very horrible way to have stable income. Door dash, fast food work, cashiers are not top pay jobs. If I can do your job in three months effectively, why do you think your pay should equal someone who has put years into their profession? These are low level/entry jobs, not careers. These are jumping off points to working atmospheres, not life time jobs. Have higher expectations for yourself, put in the work and become productive in a field that can be useful forever, Electrician, contractor, plumber, mechanic. All of these fields are in dire need of people, good paying jobs are out there you just got to be willing to put in the effort.

You can't get something for nothing. Delivery is hard on cars for starters and be aware DD driver is not just delivering food but oftentimes things like groceries to top floor apartments, flowers, auto parts, etc. Now if you think delivery companies should pay more be aware that cost will get passed off to you across the board. It just might be cheaper and in your best interest to leave a decent tip.

The whole concept of tipping goes straight back to slavery (hold on now, let me explain) since slaves did not earn much, good service by “non owners” was rewarded in the only way it could be, by leaving cash behind on the table, etc.. Since companies are now getting scrutinized for “early job termination” claw-back of “training fees” (ie: if you quit before 6 months for any reason you owe thousands of dollars back to the company for in house training) as slavery/indentured servitude, can a $3 an hour wage at say, Cracker Barrel-the home of the meager tip, even escape scrutiny much longer?”

People who work for tips in the US need to understand that it is NOT the customers responsibility to make sure you have a living wage. Here's a thought...get another job. How about you go back to school or start a side hustle. If anything you should be fighting your employer! If you don't provide excellent service chances are you won't be tipped. Receiving a tip is not a right and the customer is under no obligation to leave one.

Incidentally, I love how the driver told' the customer he was "close to quitting". I'll bet that had that poor customer shaking in his boots. "If you tightasses fint start tipping better I'm gonna quit. NOW how do you feel ?" * THAT - that right there - is textbook Narcissism. Thinking a total stranger gives a f**k about your life. Or should I say, thinking a total stranger SHOULD give a f**k about your life. * Dear DD driver, Get a real job. I hear Amazon is hiring * Dear John Q Public, Get up off your fat a*s(es) and fetch your own food, instead of paying $25 for a $12 meal. * Problem solved.

Doordash hides part of the tip so we know when the offer hits a certain dollar value then it prob tips a bit more once delivered.. if you don't value the service and live across street go walk save the fees. drivers are NOT EMPLOYEES. no wages no miles or gas compensation & $2.50 to deliver if customer doesn't offer add.money.. thats why it's actually an offer for luxury service not tip. Were self contracted. doordash is only a platform offering order system to restaurant and drivers available the driver decides if your offer is worth it. But doordash hides the bulk of your tip.. aka offer for service.. Im very careful in which orders I accept. when I accept nice size order & propper offers are 18 percent.. door dash shows me $6.50 and say 5 miles.. I spend 20 to 25 minutes and about $2 or $3 in gas to drop it and drive back to the restaurants.. I would expect at leat $15 tip. customer for luxury service. its not a necessity. Would u work for $8 an hour after gas? Not like waiter at al

Revealing the nature of that driver was worth it. Who knows what tip would make such a person do a good job? You can add to the tip afterwards if it turns out your deliverer did a particularly good job. That should be the extent of it. People who are good at customer service seem to thrive in a tip environment, people who are bad at just don't, even if a minimum tip is added to every ticket.

To me, Doordash deliverers should not be treated like dropping two quarters in a vending machine and you have your candy. These are human workers who were burning $5 gas for ten miles to get you your food. And they have bills to pay and families to take care of.

If you can’t afford a $5 tip then don’t use the service. Plain and simple.

I have the same problem with Dominos. I am homebound and the store is literally 1 mile from me. I usually have large orders (I freeze some for another time). They have Doubled their delivery fee and the automatically add a tip. I give explicit directions but they screw it up every time. (Last house on right and not the home directly in front of you as you come down the road - porch light is on.). Needless to say, the always go to the straight in front of them. Another new thing is adding $1 to ea item if delivered when if you pick it up, they do not add this in. The same amt of work goes into preparing it for pick up as it does for delivery... Same number of boxes. It makes no sense. The tip they auto include is 15 percent. The driver does nothing but pick up the order & deliver, it's already in insulated bags. I usually have to go retrieve my order from neighbor who then wants something. They base the tip on food, their delivery chg and tax. No more.

Why should I pay someone's wages. Tips are for good service, if I go to a buffet I'll leave 1$ because all they did was bring my drink, if I order online and go pick it up they get nothing. If you deliver, the tip will depend on how far you had to come, if my order is correct and if you brought it to me. I used to be a server and if my tips didn't come to minimum wage my employer had to pay it, and that law hasn't changed.

Also an FYI just because you live right beside the restaurant doesn't mean much they could be more than 5 miles away from the restaurant when they get the dash so then they are paying mileage to the store then to your house. I took a blizzard from DQ and a meal from Westside diner to a drop off totaling 18 miles got 1.50 tip and the customer telling me they hoped their blizzard was melted at all...it just spent forty minutes in my car in 85 degree whether.. I did nothing crazy but man the forty minutes I spent getting both orders and the salty comment and the 1.50 tip had me a little hot and I've been working in customer service for over 10 years from Dept. Of family services..to Verizon to a waitress and dasher..even worked at a clinic. The problem is not the dasher mostly, it's self entitled people that think they are above delivery people in general. If you don't wanna tip, GO GET IT YOURSELF. You are the boss in the situation, would u want your boss to treat you like that?

I personally would never do something like this, but I understand how the guy feels. Sometimes low tipped orders get stacked with bigger ones and you don't realize it until the orders are picked up. At that point your obligated to deliver it or get penalized. I feel fortunate to be in California where door dash now has to compensate us better for our time.

I unsterstand what people are thinking..just quit find a better job. What If everyone did that though, there are plenty of people in the workforce who are underpaid the question is whether they should or should not quit its exactly what is gone in this world. Empathy and lack of judgement. Some of you are quick to judge but would you stand in line for 45 minutes to get your food, or deal with crappy attitudes just to drive God knows how many miles for 1.50 tip? Probably not but you sure are gonna let a dasher do exactly that and pay them 1.50 tip. You don't sound smart but saying quit if you don't like it. I've seen way too many people stand in restaurants and complain about the lack of help and them having to wait long periods for that reason. So you can't have if both ways. The best way is to think what would I be okay with? If your honest with yourself then you will know what is acceptable for possible time, miles, what they have to go through to get to Your door.

I use Doordash sometimes. I tip 15-20% online and text the driver that there is an additional cash tip at the door. My gripe is that they don't follow the directions to find me. I order delivery because I'm busy and don't want to stand out on the porch and flag them down.

The way doordash pack on the fees....if the fees weren't so much then maybe drivers would get a bigger tip. I always tip at least $5. But all they're doing is delivering the food. It's not like they're going above and beyond to check our order before leaving the restaurant to make everything is there. That's why I like Instacart because you can decrease or increase the tip based off of the service.

I'm not excusing the drivers actions on this at all he should have refused such a low paying trip. Personally I won't start my car for less then 6 dollars I don't care it it's 10 feet to the drop off. A little break down in time versus pay 5 minutes to the restaurant another 3 to park and walk in 10 minutes at Chick-fil-A because your going to wait for the order the. Then another 5 minutes to arrive at said apartment building then 1 to 10 minutes to find your apartment. Assuming base pay is 3 dollars +1.50 for a total of 4.50 that pay is garbage even if everything went perfect

I occasionally drive for DoorDash — and today I accepted an order for 5.25 ( tip ended up being 1.50). And it took 30mins to get there— it was from the east side to the north side and the order had been declined or not accepted for 45mins.

This is why I don't use door dash or any tipping service. No other delivery service has any issues but food delivery? I blame the companies. You never hear UPS Amazon hell hell even Walmart has better delivery service than door dash. Driver shouldn't have delivered the customer order in a tree with any other delivery service the driver would have been terminated. Tips are gratuity not a right. Read the fine print in your job description folks.

These drivers are using their own vehicles and with gas prices..if you cant tip them well for the convenience then dont order food..I ALWAYS tip a dollar or 2 more than suggested and my stuff comes fast..for heavy food orders 5/10 dollars over esp cases of water..they earn it shopping and bringing to my door

If everyone followed all the comments advice and simply wouldn't do delivery jobs, then all the folks who like the luxury of getting their food delivered would be SOL. And for the majority of people who use delivery (handicapped folks aside) it is a luxury, and the people who don't tip but still enjoy the use of this service are ahead of the rest of us who simply cannot afford it between the delivery fee and the tip. So maybe before long all you 'get a better job' people will have to do what I do and get off your can and go get it yourself. We are already almost there in the restaurant industry with more and more places switching to self serve or limiting hours because they cannot find help. Just went to a restaurant in Nashville that usually has full service and they had people order at the counter, puck up their own food and get their own drinks due to lack of staff. Best get used to it. I wish companies cared more about their employees/customers, but they don't.

How about the worker who actually made the food, and it's most likely paid under minimum wage because in some states if you get $20 a month worth of tips they can legally pay you less that minium wage. The food workers don't get a tip at all for this third party delivery service orders, which takes them away from the customers in the store who could potentially tip them, but if they have to wait because of the online orders they lose those tips too.

The driver missed his blessing by not concluding the task. As a nine-year old in the South Bronx I would take my 2 wheel cart to the market asking customers if I could pack and carry their grocery. This little old lady hired me and I wheeled the groceries in my 2 wheel cart taller than me. Arriving to her building, she resided on the top floor with not elevator. After placing her groceries in the apartment, she opened her billfold and proudly gave me a dime. I folded my cart rushed back to the market to ask another customer to hire me. I could here my mother saying be glad for any blessing. That day I made the most money out of all of my friends.

And I got= NO TIP !!,...just $4 from DD,....turned out to be a "make-up" delivery because Panera messed up the original order the day before and I was the "fall-guy" that the Panera manager took advantage of,...i complained to Panera Corporate and told them what happened and I got a $40/E-card,..sometimes its the restaurant that screws you too.

Yeah, but you know that there's people who will do dumb s**t to your food, even AFTER you left them a big tip. Some people are just assholes and that's the problem. A lot of these "dashers" don't understand what the service industry is, and that tipping is to be done AFTER that service is provided. I'm a big tipper, like I'll make it more than worth it, but if someone is doing a s**t job, do they still deserve a $20 tip on a $10 order? Nah. People can make hundreds on tips in any profession. Even after the recommended tip, I've given extra due to performance. It's not hard to be nice to people, difference between waiters/waitresses, is they know their tips are based off of their performance. DD still haven't figured that our yet.

in my area fast food restaurants are paying around $20/hr. i need to make min $25/hr doing deliveries in order to be on the same level because car maintenance is expensive and the car itself i didn't get it for free. it takes average 20-25minutes per delivery. if a customer lives far away from the restaurants and he/she orders something small i still make the round trip and 20% tip from $10 order is nothing. i decline 90% of the small orders and the ones going in the middle of nowhere. tips are not necessary if the apps pay good but most of the companies don't. if the delivery fees are too high and you cant tip just go and get your order, dont pay for delivery and don't tip. if i can't make $15 per delivery in 30-35mins i am wasting my time because expenses regarding the vehicle are high. its not just the mileage, drivers wait at the restaurants and time is more important than miles for me. per mile if i don't do minimum $2 than there is no decent profit. meals on wheels might be a good option for some so called customers. also drivers have nothing to do with the company you are placing the order with. doordash/Uber etc don't deliver, they just take your order, drivers using their own vehicles, driving on snow, ice, rain, stuck in traffic and daily almost in an accident deliver your food to your door OR TREE. over 8000 deliveries in the past 2 yrs with average of over $15 per delivery. i leave the peanuts and non grateful customers for the charity drivers

No it is not our responsibility to pick up the load of the lack of government regulations for that job and the lack of financial support from the employers. The customers are the heart of delivery services and if the drivers start to alienate the exact same customers, the delivery apps will become null & void and taken over by other apps that got around “tipping” … I don’t tip unless I was provided excellence

The problem with tipping more than $1 or $2 for delivery is you're usually already paying $5-10 for service fees/delivery. Your food is already quite expensive even when on sale. For 1 meal you're never paying less than $20 anywhere you order delivery. Half the time door dash delivers it cold. Hence why I use this system. If my order was good the last time. I tip bigger. If they delivered it cold. I tip nothing. If they could make a change to the system it would be to allow a tip after the meal is delivered. That way the driver who delivered it could get his just due.

the company should pay the driver that is his job so his boss needs to PAY HIM. The tip should just be extra the customer should not be responsible for the delivery persons wage. A tip is up to each person and weather the driver did his job well and maybe he doesent even have enough mony to pay him extra. the Boss charges delivery and that should go to the driver. It is extra to have it delivered so why does the boss get that extra charge. it should be the tip and if the customer wants to give the driver more for being nice or fast or what ever it should not be mandatory. Thats his job and he should get payed for that by his BOSS. so to that end His boss is the a*s.... and the driver should not take it out on the customer. I tip well usually because my delivery people have been really respectful and nice. If soneone left my food in a tree I would not give them a tip at all

The problem is the economy not the clients. As gas and everything else rises, employers should pay more. You shouldn’t have to tip people for doing their job they’re already being paid to do, unless they’ve gone above and beyond. If the job doesn’t pay well, get another one. It’s hard out here for EVERYONE. Nurses are overworked and underpaid and we help save lives! If I was the employer, The delivery person would’ve been fired. There’s no excuse for verbal abusing a client. They made the employer as well as themselves look bad. Customers make us angry, but we’re suppose to show professionalism.

I'm sorry but tips should only be given AFTER the service is rendered!! If you do good work AND the customer appreciated the way you served them THEN and only then is a tip optional! Stop expecting tips! Instead give it your all and BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU GET!

And if ppl want higher tips DoorDash needs to have the price if you would actually go to the restaurant rather then charge $5 dollars above the money. Yeah I stopped using DoorDash pricing is ridiculous.

When tipping first started if a person received one penny it was considered to be excellent service and it wasn't part of their pay. It was a thank you on the part of the customer. I don't understand how it is that people can't see that the businesses are literally getting the public to pay for their employees wages in part when it is NOT the responsibility of the customer. It is and always has been literally a THANK YOU for quality service from the employee. The employers are taking advantage of employees who might receive this extra money in their pocket. You work for a wage, and if someone appreciates you and what you do for them resulting in them giving you a "tip" that is not any of the employers business. They hired the person to do a job and should pay the wage, gratuity has nothing to do with the employer. After all the employer didn't serve, the waiter/waitress or delivery driver did! So why are tips considered wages?! ITS A FREAKIN THANK YOU FROM THE CUSTOMER TO THE SERVER!

If you're worried about minimum wage, then stop being a loser. Minimum wage is for teenagers, seniors and other new entrants to the work force. This is pathetic. Work hard, be humble, live well below your means and the satisfaction and money will come. The biggest problem is people want something for nothing and refuse to work hard. Plus the government incentives people to be lazy morons and taxes the hell out of everything so companies cut costs wherever they can.

As a fellow door dash employee. You have the ability to see how much you'll be making before you agree to accept the order. If it was too small of a tip.... He could have simply declined to take the order and waited for a better one. His actions make no sense. He knew he was only making a few dollars and he hit accept on the app. This guy is b******t and a clown. No need to act that way.

Problem is you order a $7 Burger and after the fees and delivery charges it's $2 so maybe the the people getting employed by doordash should consult with doordash for how much they charge people. There's no way I'm gonna give a person a $5 tip when I've ordered a $7 Burger and doordash's already charged me $21 or more for delivery. I used to drive for Uber eats and their idea of increasing my wage After the gas prices went up $2 was to charge the customer more money so they could give me more money. In reality it didn't do anything but make people lower the amount of tip. So, the amount of money didn't increase. I simply quit and got a regular job. There are tons of regular jobs out there it's out there. Nobody is forcing anyone to be a delivery driver.

When you take ANY job, they tell you the expected wages. If it isn't what you want, go find another job. Want a good job that pays good and you don't need huge education and you want to drive, trucking. However, you only get what you put into it too. Just like every other job.

I truly wonder how dumb some people are. They don't want to tip or they tip pocket change for a stranger to drive somewhere, pick up their food and then deliver it to their job or home. It's called convenience and in our soceity you pay for convenience. In the same breathe, they say the company, door dash in this case, should pay the drivers more and they shouldn't be responsible for pay these working people. Then at the same time they complain the delivery fees are to high already. Well I've got news for you types of people, If the "company" pays the drivers more where exactly do you think that money is coming from? It's going to come from YOU in the form of much higher delivery fees. The company is simply middle man between the customers and the driver and they facilitate the transaction. That's the reason for their fees. Right or wrong that's the business model. These companies are not going to do this for free. I am a former lyft driver and the set up is a joke.

My husband and I used to Doordash. If you decline orders, it affects your numbers and it doesnt seem like you get as many runs. I doubt the recommend tip was 1.50...hes just a cheap fer. Should the dasher have taken the run? Probably not but the guy knew what he was tipping. Don't be naive. People telling dashers to get a real job? Then who will ever deliver your lazyasses food? What ever would you do? People told servers to get a "real job" and now your favorite restaurant is understaffed and it takes a lot longer to get sat. Unlike servers (which I was one for several years), doordashers use their own money for gas and their own wear and tear on their car so tip!! Not only that, but alot of times at restaurants, the order isn't even ready. So the driver has to drive from their location to the store still so it doesnt matter if this guy lives around the corner, uses his own gas and puts time into waiting for the order....1.50?? Really?? That's c**p. Dont want to tip, get your own food

I've never used door dash and probably wouldn't if I was just ordering for myself. But if I was ordering 20.00 of food I would tip at least 5.00. If it was extra fast might add more...If I'm adding more it'd be cash(not calling the number if I have cash) Honestly I rather give the driver cash. If I ordered pizza for delivery and paid online I wouldn't leave the tip on CC receipt unless I was low on cash or only had 20s and driver said he has no change..

Huh? No mention at all of the wear and tear on the vehicle used to deliver - plus the cost of gas (have you repaired a car lately $). What? You guys think the food arrives via magic carpet ride?! Door Dash, Grub Hub and Uber Eats are SCAMS. Losing propositions, no two ways about it. Door Dash advertises 20 an hour on Craigslist but that is bull and I can prove it. They are inches away from class action lawsuits that some smart lawyer would be wise to take up. I have all the proof you need lawyer. Hit me up 315.663.4123 anytime.

Listen, if you have never did this type of work his 1.50 tip was on top of whatever they paid for the order. NY a pack Newport cigarettes are 20 dollars plus so the meal they paid for had to make him money. If not move from your tiny home you pay more then 1500 a month.

Here's the thing people aren't looking at: people who work for places like Doordash, Instacart, Lyft, and other gig jobs are working for them why? Because they're either between jobs OR they have no skills or both. Frequently they don't have a real bank account and are living a 'temporary' life. I've seen some great kids doing this as a gig to get through school or whatever. But many of them just can't get work in any other way. No one wants to admit that large portions of our population are just dumb. Why are they dumb? Because they didn't pay attention in school or weren't lucky enough to get a mentor or weren't observant enough to notice what set their successful peers apart. I did my time in the poverty cycle, but I got out. First generation middle class here. It can be done but not if you sneer at doing intelligent things like getting married before you have children, finishing high school, having a real bank account, learning basic social skills and practicing SELF CONTROL.

Well... Idk I don't really feel bad for them. I have a decent paying retail job it's obviously not the best pay but I'm living off of it and am an ex addict who didn't work the whole 8 years I was in active addiction. And before that I was a teenager and only had a few fast food jobs. When I got sober I got me a bank account (it's free) I had to figure out how to re-attain all my documents and I got a real entry level job. And that's with no recent employment history and some charges on my record... I'm not saying all that was just easy and I did it in the same day or anything BUT getting the actual job was EASY. They can get real jobs they just aren't trying because it's easier to make a profile on your phone and get an instant door dash job. They have transportation so if they don't like delivering for these services they do not need to be doing them.

I heard you can make $20/ hour so i tried dashing. Waitresses were always angry/ mean to me because they are not getting tipped on takeout orders. Including tips I made an average of $5 an hour. I put 350 miles on my car in 3 days. The delivery that made me quit; It was Friday night. A woman ordered a pizza. I had to wait 50 minutes for it to cook. The woman called and complained 3x it was taking too long. I kept explaining to my supervisor, the pizza is in the oven. Her house had no lights on. The driveway was on a side street. She called me screaming "you keep driving past my house! Go down the side street" I apologized saying your house isn't visible from the main road where your address is. She snatched the pizza saying "you're late" She left me a bad review and complained about me to my supervisor. I hope all the dashers spit and snot rocket on her food.

If he's gonna argue that it's not his fault that DoorDash doesn't pay their drivers better, then he shouldn't support them and instead go get his own damn food. He's part of the problem. So is the driver. If the driver doesn't like the company and wants to quit, don't take it out on the customer. All parties involved are assholes trying to put the blame on someone else. DoorDash = assholes. Restaurant = assholes. Driver = a*****e. Customer = a*****e. Pay people a living wage, take responsibility for your part, and treat each other better.

I am a doordash delivery driver myself I've had my fair share of frustrations. I'm on the fence about how things especially between customer and driver's perspectives are. My honest opinion here and this is just my opinion no one no one has to like it or dislike it so please don't bash my opinion this is just something I've observed as the delivery driver. Doordash only pays $2.25 for base pay and occasionally a dollar or two for extra. Customers expect too much of us I lost my tip due to the restaurant not including a straw which I couldn't open the bag to verify because it was sealed. So I just carry a bunch of straws and add it in with the order if I have a drink to solve that issue cuz I lost my tip that one time because of it. I only accept orders minimum $4.75. Most the time it's $5 minimum that I accept but I will accept 4.$75 as the absolute minimum. I ignore orders lower so it says that I missed a delivery opportunity so I don't get my ratings dinged.

All y'all say you "know" jobs take advantage of employees and tipping culture is out of hand but defend the person tipping $1.50 knowing you can't buy a candy bar for that much less gas food or ANYTHING else. Remember "be the solution not the problem"??? This guy was part of the problem. Vote and lobby for better wages and healthcare and tip at least $5 minimally. Every American job needs to be held to the same livable standards so a-holes can quit saying "find a better job". Smmfh

Yes, small tips are frustrating but leaving it in a tree if you don’t know whether the person who ordered it is actually able to climb the said tree isn’t just inconveniencing someone, it means that someone may potentially not get to eat for hours

Bro just take it and move on to a better order. Don’t give us dashers who do and good job and get paid decent a bad name. I use my hot bag, have 3 baskets in my back seat to keep the orders safe from falling, keep hand sanitizer and keep a professional and clean appearance. If someone tips me low for one I don’t accept the order and if I do I just take care of them to encourage a better tip next time. This behavior does not help make customers appreciate what we do Oh and dashers, stop making YouTube’s about mundane things no one cares.

I’m skipping the story because I’m so tired of people complaining about tips. The delivery fee and convenience fee usually ends up being 100% of whatever your order is, sometimes more. I’ve ordered a $12 burger and somehow it ends up being $30 after all the fees and then the drivers have gotten to where anything below $10 is unacceptable so you end up spending $42 on a $12 sandwich. Honestly it’s best to just order it to go and pick it up yourself. I understand the convenience of delivery, but you have to wait longer and often times the food is wrong or cold. I’ve only had good experiences when I leave higher tips which isn’t always feasible since I’m not rich.

If your job relies on tips and you're angry at the customer, you're an idiot. The problem is the corporation that's stealing your money and expecting to pass the cost on to the customer. In a world where you can get 15 an hour at McDonald's, there's no reason to work a job you think is shitty. Doordash needs to suffer a mass resignation.

This is why I hate tipping culture. The company doesn't pay enough so they delegate the financial burden onto the customers? It's an easy way to shift blame onto the wrong people. The door dash guy should quit delivering, it's obviously not paying his needs if one bad tip sends him off like this. I don't use any of those food delivery apps because I hate how these companies thrive off paying their workers absolute garbage and shouldering that financial responsibility to the customers. It's capitalism bs

Why is DoorDash getting paid anything???? DoorDash needs to start functioning like OfferUp. Provide the connection but don’t charge a fee. That’s all DooDash is doing is proving a connection to random strangers. This is why these Dashers put the food anywhere or eat it. These Dashers are not employees. DoorDash is not proving them with a car or gas. DoorDash is collecting all the profit and given the Dasher the scrapes, then want them to fight the customers!!! Dashers need to go on strike and demand the full pay of delivery and additional cost . If you got paid more you wouldn’t be trying to beat up the customer who is actually paying a lot already . You’re not getting the correct pay, that greedy pig 🐷 Door Dash is getting it all!!

I'm ex-service industry and pro-tipping however things need to change. This is the problem with tipping culture. Taking your anger out on each other doesn't benefit anyone but the corporation/business. It is not the responsibility of the customer to provide you a livable wage. That rests solely on the employer. Yes, delivery is a luxury service but that is why there is a service fee. A larger portion of that fee needs to be going towards the one doing all the work. If we want reform we need to redirect our anger towards the one profiting off of all of it.

I’m a dasher and when I didn’t have my car I was forced to order groceries and sometimes meals. It is outrageous the high delivery fee and yes you take a chance on getting your food. Having been a server and being a dasher, I always decide beforehand how much I will tip. I wouldn’t dare tip less than $5 and I live in hot zone. Less than $5 is just rude. Who leaves a $1.29 tip? Even at a restaurant, although you tip beforehand I figure how much I will tip. 20% is base tip with more for good service or I just round it out to next highest bill amount. $20/$50/$100 Delivery should be tipped more than servers due to fuel and traffic.

I'm retired law enforcement, injured in the line of duty , started doing doordash for something to do . I've had great tips $30 for a 3 mile drive and I've gotten $4 on a $160 order that was 15 miles away . My work ethic is do the job properly, be professional,tell the customer to enjoy the order and go to the next . I never refuse an order , tip or no tip , I chose to do this job so I do it right as should you .

Hey Patrick, I hope your acceptance ratings pay your bills. Sounds like your doing this to kill time. If you're injured in the line of duty, you have pension coming so you have money coming in versa someone depending on this as an income because a job while looking for a better job is better than no job at all. This isn't the only money coming in for you. I'm glad you have the luxury to take whatever comes your way. But I do wish everyone had a driver like you getting everyone their order to them in a prompt way.

This is what morons do when they can't do anything else. Complain about their tip. Boo hoo. No one cares, which is why I go and pick my food up so I don't have to deal with a-holes like this. I've waited tables and delivered pizza, and not once would I have ever though to be this much of a d-bag, regardless of the tip.

Scary anyone would think the delivery drivers behavior was acceptable. He could have shared his grievance if he wanted, like detail that he only really makes such and such for that 45 minutes of time to deliver. Instead he spews pure entitlement and zero professionalism. I can easily guess how he votes too, sadly.

On one end no you shouldn't throw your food up a tree due to lie tip. Though tipping less than 5 dollars f**k you from a dasher you want to be lazy that's fine but tip for the service. 1.50 tip that's like a big f**k you to your driver.

That's exactly the kind of mentality that's leading to misplaced blame. A tip is not obligatory. The fact that people expect tips is absolute proof that Door Dash is completely to blame for not paying their workers enough. A tip is, and will always only be a "thank you" for a job well done. It is never a "f**k you". Ever.

Finally! I deliver for Door Dash, but I don't get food delivered because my husband & I are broke, & I can just go grocery shopping. I often deliver to Detroit & many customers don't tip at all. Sometimes DD manipulates you into delivering an extra order when the driver is at the restaurant ("well, I'm here anyways, I may as well pick up this extra order for $2"), then you end up driving a few extra miles to deliver THAT order. No matter what my tip may or may not be, I check the receipt to make sure it's all there, I put it in thick insulated bags I bought on Mercari, I deliver it on time or as early as I can wherever they ask me to, and I'm always polite (as they usually are to me. DD's greedy system is the problem, & self-entitled drivers acting like assholes are NOT making it better.

In my opinion. Tipping should never be a option at all for any type of work. It leads to entitlement by the worker, poor work ethics and loss of business to the employers. Thus, pay your workers a living wage and stop passing business cost onto customers. Thus, company need to stop squeezing every penny from it's customer in name of profit.

If the driver is unhappy than get a new job.. Most jobs you dont have "freedom" tho, u clock in for a long day & its possible ur stuck there for the next 8+ hours for maybe minimum wage.. But if the person is unhappy they get a new job... If a stock boy is making minimum wage, he doesnt open up a box with milk jugs & go put them in the toy section cuz he gets paid so little... Either do ur job or get something else but delivery peeps need to grow up

I always tip well; restaurants and fancy hotels/resorts. A doordash driver is not going to get a big tip though. I spend an hour at a waiters table and get taken care of very well. The doordash driver that can’t even say good evening or hello to me and quickly leaves is doing the bare minimum. This is a side job, second job or job for someone with no bills looking for some weekend spending cash. Don’t expect to make any kind of living. If you do you are also looking for something that is work when you need it, akin to day labor situation. The entitlement attitude may sometimes be from the person placing the order but more so for the ones that really complain about not getting tipped more. If you want more pay than complain to the group that runs the app. They are the ones taking in more money than even the restaurants that are selling the food. You can also petition for the restaurants to tip you out of their pocket per order, since you are providing a service to them as well.

A tip is based on the total of the check and the quality of the service. You want phenomenal tips? Work a a five star restaurant or get a higher paying job. I am a good tipper, but this whole "I'm entitled to x dollars tip" is way overboard.

This!!! A percentage of the order he gave him an average 10% tip. Slightly more as the order was 13.00. The driver gets a percentage of the order as well. And it's. 40 of a mile so their gas was negligible. If the system isn't paying what you need then don't work it. Period. A delivery driver is a bare minimum service. And in the case of fast food they don't even leave their car. They park the restaurant brings out you drop it at customers door. Where was the big effort? It's not like this is instacart and he shopped it for him. And also for those saying customers shouldn't use the service since it exploits the workers. Of customers stop using it then the drivers out a job with mo pay at all. Great plan.

The only time I used the app was when I went on vacation. We made a nice sized order from Olive Garden that was 20 miles away the order was almost 70 dollars and I tipped the difference of 100 to give the driver a little over 30 dollars. Funny how my order came fast and the driver made sure it was still hot and everything. HMMM....

I understand frustration of the driver but 1. You haven't even finished your job first. Imagine if waiters got tipped first then served you at a restaurant based on tip. People would be so mad. 2. Don't know person's situation. The person could have been sick or struggling and 1.50 could have been a lot of them with the food. And they may not have a choice of going out. 3. Talking like that to a customer good luck getting another job. If another employee finds out you did this, at a job where you actually have a physical boss. You won't get far. Imagine if cashiers reacted this way when customers annoyed them. They'd be fired.

Tipping should 100% be based on service. It is not the Job of the customer to make up the difference of what the company refuses to pay. I work in food for a company that doesn't allow tips, for the amount of work I have to do getting a tip once in a while would be nice but I'd never demand such. The problem with Delivery drivers through Uber and Doordash is they can do horrible jobs and still receive a tip. And then you have people who try to guilt customers into tipping, the comments here and On TT show that. In the end the customer pays $16 in fees on a $12 order and then has to add a 20% tip? The driver gets paid $3.40. and the big company collects.

The consumer is not responsible for your wages. A tip is an EXTRA "Thank You" if you do a good job. Tips shouldn't even be visible before the order is completed, they should be shown once the delivery is complete. Delivery apps spawned the spoiled and entitled crybabies doing things like this because the base pay is trash. That's not my fault as a consumer. If you can't perform the lowest level of your job, do humanity a favor and find a new job.

Okay, I will only say this once, because this entire situation is totally bull in the first place - STOP FORCING CUSTOMERS TO PAY YOUR EMPLOYEES WAGES! This c**p started during the Great Depression, which is why no other country does this. The whole freaking system started because people who had the money to do so would bribe the servers to serve them with preferential treatment, and the owners realized that by making the (totally bs) claim that if they didn't accept the bribes, they would not be getting their full paycheck because the company couldn't afford to keep paying them at the same wages. The entire situation is yet another way for wealthy people to cut costs. You should not be required to pay tips, because the workers should just be paid minimum wage like ANY OTHER WORKER IN THE US. Those that claim you get more tips for being more efficient, polite, or whatever else are completely wrong. You know why? Not everyone sees your actions as you do. This is f-f

Idc if its a $0.50 tip or a $50 tip you treat that order the same. Your job is to deliver the damn food, it is not the customers job to pay your damn wage.

As a delivery driver myself I’ll be the first to say, this driver was clearly in the wrong and his reasoning is completely jacked up! That being said you shouldn’t place less value upon the driver for your food then you would for your medicine or groceries. Rule of thumb is 8-10% of total bill! Why is this concept/knowledge missing from so many people especially the younger generation’s. Your parents got this, sorry they failed to teach you this and this will be the death of delivery! Or any other job within this scope. I’ve seen such a disregard for how people treat other human being. Nothing justifies any excuse made for such treatment. To be a decent person the golden rule is paramount. Perhaps you should get off your butts and make your own damn food, get your own groceries, sacrifice to make it through another day! Walk a mile in another shoes! See if that changes your perspective! No! Then you are truely, the root of all evil and not human at all. But rather a glutinous pig!!

What happened to the amount of a tip being determined by the service one receives? There have been times our server was given a tip that was more than the total of the bill. This was because of the excellent service we got. And there has also been a few times that a very small tip was left because of crappy service. I have been a cook/baker for 50 years. I used to tell servers who wanted to tip ME, for the job I did preparing their orders,, that I made more hourly wage than they did, so they didn't need to tip me. But now servers actually make more when you count their wage and tips. Now I am less likely to refuse an offered tip, especially when it is from a large party. I actually blame the government for the problem with tipping since now servers HAVE to claim at least 10 % of their tickets for tips. Example, if a ticket is $53.00 they have to claim at least $5.30 as a tip even if they only got $4.00.

Once upon a time, one of the few things you could have delivered was pizza. If your pizza was a wreck when it got to you, no tip. If the pizza was pristine and hot, big tip. The difference was that you tipped after delivery. Same with restaurants. Good service, big tip. Poor service, no tip. When a tip is expected in advance, expect a small tip because there's no way to know what the service will be like.

Neither is complying to the system that treats them so poorly. The delivery guy said he was going to quit because of the garbage pay. Good. Door dash is thriving because it has employees who expect they can get by on good tips. Quit using these garbage apps and quit working for them if this is how they're treating you. And this is not a "they're stuck in this situation" problem. These apps aren't full time jobs, they never net pay better than even the worst paying minimum wage job. These gig job companies squirm their way to being exempt from basic labor standards because they successfully scapegoated their issues onto the customers using their services

Jonas missed a big issue in tipping based jobs. Wait staff and similar jobs don’t even make that luxurious $7.25/hr. The service industry has its own minimum wage, it was $2.13 here in Texas, I think it may be all the way up to 2.35/hr. Places exploit the title of waitress as well, I was shocked to learn that places like serve-yourself buffets call the people “waitress/waiters” that come by and give you a clean plate, or maybe bring a tray of rolls. I do wish the system would get an overhaul. I wish a tip was like saying thank you, something a little extra for being amazing, not a service persons base wage. Also, I have never understood why we tip based on what we spent? I’ve had amazing service at a place rated as inexpensive, and mediocre service at a place that was $75+ a person. Was my steak harder to serve to me? So why does one waitress get $7 and the other $30? Totally absurd.

I’ve been a server, and I’ve managed a restaurant, but I’ve never been a delivery driver. I admit that I don’t know exactly how drivers are paid and compensated to account for minimum wage. That said, if a server doesn’t make minimum wage through their tips, the employer HAS to make up the difference. It’s illegal to pay less than minimum wage. What bothers me the most are the people who aren’t tipping at ALL because “the company should pay their workers more.” Yes, they should. But they DON’T. The server shouldn’t have to suffer for your beliefs. Either don’t use the service, or find another way to help bring about change. None of it’s an excuse to provide crappy service or to not tip.

I help bring the change by not tipping. If more people did that, delivery driver's would stop working and suddenly the company will realise they have to take the driver's wage into account. If you don't see that that's only way things wkuld actually change it's your fault not mine.

Doordash delivery drivers should not be treated like dropping two or absolutely no coins in a vending machine and whoalah! You get your candy bar. These drivers were burning $5 a gallon gas to drive ten miles to deliver your food. A little more respect in terms of a better tip is in order. Just think of all the road hazards and the traffic.

People got so accustomed to tipping that people believe it's the customer job to tip which it's not. In any job where you receive tips it is stated in the contract tips are gratuity. Which means a gift from the customer to show appreciation for your service. Never have their been issues like this is delivery but in food service. Tipping before service is ridiculous high delivery fees are ridiculous but at the same time if you pay doordash monthly rate there is no delivery fee over $12 at certain restaurants. The customer regardless if its 0.4 miles should have tipped more than $1.50 that's insulting because the driver is giving you the courtesy of sitting on your couch to get your fast food. The driver on the other hand shouldn't have left his food in the tree and curse him out after he deserves his a*s kicked for that. That driver is a coward. The customer is dishonest too because you are the food and still requested a refund. So you basically got free food.

I use a grocery delivery service because I have to, and try to tip 10% because of my budget. I do more of I can, if I see the delivery was hard. In restaurants, when I used to go to them, I would adjust my order to make a tip for good service. If I could not tip higher, I would apologize, and make sure to tell management what an asset they had. I get it, the phrasing of state service worker wage laws allows payroll managers to cheat these workers, especially if they list drivers as contractors, which they really are not. Most delivery services allow comments to the company, in the service survey or through the website. A time or two, I have said drivers ought to get more. Regarding delivery fee, since the company needs to survive, they need something. But the driver deserves at least half. It isn't as though the company is spending overhead on a work station and utilities and property taxes.

I'm so grateful these services are available when they didn't exist not long ago! I'm so grateful that even if it's a bit pricey, it's something I can count on on my worst days. Whether I pay the delivery person directly via tips or pay their employer via higher prices or some other means, its still incredible that we middle class people can have such a luxury! Especially such a helpful one! People spend money on way more foolish things anyway, haha!

Aaron looks like the typical self entitled jerks I see every day at work. Wants chick fil a for breakfast.... Is too lazy to get and spends way to much money to get it delivered. He is willing to waste time money and resources to get something small delivered then cheaps out on tipping the guy who dropped it off basically saying I like to waste money except to show appreciation for the guy trying to make a little money off of his laziness. I'm not agreeing with the delivery guys breakdown but it's time all these lazy entitled pricks start paying properly for the services rendered. You are lazy stupid and waste full.... Pay the guy who is delivering your food a fair amount or get off your lazy entitled butt and get it yourself. In my field of customer service it's always the people with money who cheap out on tips or drive up in a 70,000 $ SUV and complain that they can't buy 40$ worth of beef jerky.... Frapuccinos and red bulls on their EBT card they somehow qualified for

Driver had no way of knowing he was delivering to someone who works from home. That customer is definitely lazy and doesn't understand that delivery is a luxury. First off, items cost a bit more through the DD app but that's just to keep their app running smoothly and financed. If you don't want to pay for luxury, there's always the option to pick up yourself. Don't belittle drivers who don't do their job properly when you don't tip accordingly. Have common sense.

Delivery is a LUXURY. People act like they're entitled to all services just because they are available. If you can't afford a luxury, don't buy it. We all know by now that having food delivered, with delivery fees and tips added, costs way more than picking it up. It's been that way with pizza for ages. Don't like it? Go pick up your pizza. Getting my groceries delivered is a newish luxury service - it costs more than going to the store, as I pay higher prices, delivery fee, and a tip to save myself the time and effort. If I don't like it, I can go myself. WE ARE NOT ENTITLED TO SOMEONE'S SERVICES FOR FREE OR ALMOST FREE WHEN WE KNOW WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THOSE SERVICES, whether they are paid to their employer or directly to the employee!! People are so hung up on the semantics of how the driver gets paid. All employees get paid from their customers, sometimes it goes first through the company and comes out as wages, sometimes it comes directly to the employee. Who cares what route the money takes? You can make excuses but you know you are responsible for the cost of that person bringing you your delivery.

@JONAS There's an error at the bottom regarding minimum wage amounts. I live in Texas and this is the minimum wage, however, you fail to state that there is also a "TIPPED EMPLOYEES" MINIMUM WAGE which in Texas and many other states is just $2.13 per hour. This has not gone up in 30 years and continues to allow employers to dance all the way to the bank while customers and service staff go head to head over the scraps that fall to us from their fat storehouses above

It's simple really. If you don't believe in tipping or tip poorly avoid services that require tipping. No sit-downs, no pizza deliveries, no service apps. You're only punishing the workers by not tipping and nobody else. You get poor service, go through the proper channels with your complaints. It's that simple.

The problem is the new generation. Period. End of discussion. These services are special services that did not exist before...you are getting an opportunity to access them and for that special consideration is an obvious reciprocation. That special consideration goes beyond any standard established tipping especially in an inflated Biden economy. Dude, you are rediciculous. People who don't tip appropriately are a special kind of person and you don't even realize how embarrassed you should be posting this.

If you don't believe in tipping don't use tipping services. You're only punishing workers by poorly tipping/not tipping. You're not proving a point or causing change, more like stealing the servers time/table and wages. Noones forcing you to use these services and there are more productive ways of changing the system. So again, if you don't believe in tipping, avoid sit downs and service apps. Stop boning folk who aren't responsible for the system. If you get a bad server then talk to management.

Bottom Line….Aside from an idiotic sense of “Entitlement” A huge Amount of BOTH-(But Not All), The Drivers AND the Customers! I’ve been both for several companies and the One biggest factor aside from that which is killing this business on both ends, is that FREAKIN’ Delivery Fee!! I’ve had countless customers—(even People who tipped VERY WELL)—-who had HONEST To God “NO IDEA” that Drivers don’t get one Penny of that delivery charge; If some never did this work, the many just don’t know and are just as shocked to hear. This is how good places are SCREWING Their drivers by keeping it all. ESPECIALLY the places who don’t lose one extra cent by delivering—-like pizza for example. Whether it’s pickup or deliver, it comes In the same Exact box/& or bag for sodas you’d get either way. So why the hell do they deserve an extra $5, $6 or even & $7.50 on top of that when the driver slaves away for it. Ditch the delivery fee in those cases, or atleast SPLIT that fee w/ your drivers!!!!

He tipped the minimum, nothing wrong with that however I tip according to the convenience of not having to go get the food. For example if the bill is $10 then I’ll tip 50% because an extra $5 is worth me not having to go get the food.

If you can’t tip, don’t order out. Simply go pick it up. I guarantee you’ll spend a lot more than $1.50 in gas. Dashers sometimes go out and barely make enough to replace the gas they put in their car, out of their own pockets. You have no idea how far they had to drive to the restaurant, and then to your house, or how long they sat at a restaurant waiting for your food. Not to mention the wear, and tear they’re putting on their vehicle for you. Only a worthless, inconsiderate human being tips $1.50.

If i didn't get good tips, I'd just break even on gas. The price of used cars, gas and insurance are all high these days. People who tip $1.50 are sponging off the good tippirs and the drivers. They should get off their lazy butts and go get their own food, IMHO

What is truly BS is that the delivery companies get like a 30% cut of the food prices itself too and STILL don't pay the poor drivers worth a dang... That said, the tip up front thing is a joke, but I understand why they do it, or else tips would always be low from cheap people who don't care once they have their food. I always tip the recommended amount and I simply order extra to make the whole order worth it for both driver and I, these delivery services are NOT meant for small orders to be a good value, if you can't order at least $20 and tip at least the lower recommended amount then you are too broke to order the luxury of food ready to eat delivered right to your door.

I only tip when I really really want to. Most of the times I don't at all. Most jobs involve doing something for another human being, so why do delivery drivers in particular are 'supposed' to get tips? Why aren't we tipping the chef? Why aren't we tipping the cashier in the shoe shop? Why aren't we tipping the people inside the factories who create stuff like computers or dolls for us? We buy stuff, including the service of others. But tipping? That's our choice and our choice only as customers, and we don't have to tip at all if we don't want to.

Door dash, and Uber need to pay better, a tip is not part of a job. The definition of a tip is for doing something great beyond the scope of your duties. We need to be like Italy and tip $1 for great service or just round up to the next dollar for typical service.

Door Dash needs to pre-charge for the tip. Then if there is any question whether it is enough, the dasher can complain to the company NOT the customer. That’s what Vons and Instacart do and it seems to work well. And the customer avoids a “tree delivery”.

If they charge a delivery fee, I subtract that from the tip I was giving. That is why I pay for the delivery subscription. Now when ever they are delivering i always get the message they are on the way after doing another delivery., so basically they are double dipping for part of the delivery. When that happens I give 1 star he is double dipping at my expense after all. I USE DOORDASH if something goes wrong with your order they make it right with a refund or credit. DON'T USE UBER .lwhen something goes wrong with your order my experience with uber has been you have to send a picture of your order and receipt that's B.S. Basically I tip what I want when I want. My criteria for tipping, 1) distance 2) size of order 3) delivery fee 4) gas surcharge

You do realize that people have put in high tips to get their orders delivered and then within the alloted hour window change them to lower amounts or no tip it all. There has been real problems out here with what is called bait tipping. Customers put in high tips to get food fast then yank the tip and delivery person is left making 2.50 for that delivery. 2.50 to drive 16 minutes is horrible it happens more than people think.

Unfortunately I have ended up in this situation a few times. I had one driver drop my food from head height as she stared angerly at my security camera. Not knowing that I had only put 2$ on the app becasue I perfer to pay cash so they don't have to claim it on taxes and have it in hand and are not waiting for payday. Imagine standing at your door to see your driver latterly drop your soup and baby food from head height as you stand there with cash in hand to have them... this is why I stopped eating out as well as ordering delivery. Tiping is not a source of income, but then again now we have the press the button for tip amount at the register when getting five guys or at the donut shop .. makes me stop going to a place if they ask for tips on their machine because tells me they arnt worth much since won't pay their own employees

As someone from the UK I find all this crazy . We have delivery services such as "Just eat" and "Uber eats " etc however many "takeaways" have their own delivery service and on their menus it states a delivery charge there is also a cut off , meaning they can refuse an order because it's deemed you live too far for their delivery service . There is no other charges other than the cost of food , even the specialist delivery services such as Uber Eats don't have any mandatory "tip" that choice is completely up to the customer whether or not they give a "tip" it's not expected though many people do tip something . The drivers all get a "basic" wage which is minimum wage at least some pay more and "tips" are more a bonus than expected. I definitely do not understand tipping someone BEFORE they have given the expected service . Tipping after the service if they have provided the service as expected or better, but to tip beforehand is bizarre.

In the US we have regular minimum wage and tipped minimum wage that can be as low as $2. That is what the companies pay. Customers "benefit" because our delivery fees are much lower (what we pay thr company) but that is because they arent paying the driver. Tips are the majority of a driver or server's wages here.

Back on the day when self respect wasn't as rare as hen's teeth, people in the service industry did the best they could regardless of how much they expected a person to tip. (And back then, the vast majority of customers were regulars). They bore on mind that it all evens out in the end, something entitled little turds like the driver in this article are precluded from doing by the Narcissistic rage. Put another way, the under 40 crowd will only pursue the carrot if they can SEE the carrot. * I'm currently in Vegas. A few hours ago I sat down at a casino bar to play some video poker. I put $100 into the machine and with less than $20 left I hit a $1k payoff. Three hands later I DID IT AGAIN. I then cashed out an and left the casino. The next day a cocktail waitress I've known for years told me the place was abuzz about me stiffing the bartender. "I STIFFED HIM BECAUSE I DIDN'T ORDER ANYTHING. (I don't drink, and bar coffee is hideous). F**k'em all.

A lot of you answered your own question of why you don't get tips. One). Your attitude shows in every message 2). We've paid for a service and it's just that we didn't pay for you directly we paid a business to search through a pool of people whom of which are willing to deliver food that's it there's not tip required at all we don't tip doctors we don't tip mail people we don't tip Amazon think about it Amazon never throws a package of someone's roof or in a tree they don't even get tipped maybe the problem isn't customers not tipping the problem is within yourself if you can't work a job that pays a living wage there's a reason for that and 85% likely it's your attitudes and lack of want to achieve

It seems that less educated, and more entitlement-disordered a person is the more they feel they should be paid alot and tipped. First off, a tip is a gratuity. It comes from GRATITUDE. It is NOT guaranteed and shouldn't HAVE to be. Most door dashers aren't capable of decent employment and want to get rich. That's, at BEST, stupid and unrealistic. Others think the customer is wrong, and deserves retaliation if they don't fork over all their money AND their FIRST BORN. THEN, there are those who can't work long hours because of home and children issues but want to make a little money on the side so they can live better. And there are many who like helping others who may not get out much, and, likewise, don't have money for a big tip. So all things CONSIDERED, let's get real here. A tip is a gift, period. Times are tough and rules are being rewritten to get more money your BOSS should be giving you NOT EXPECTING CUSTOMER to bear that expense. Do it right. BE PLEASANT. GET WELL TIPPED.

Need to do away with food delivery apps. If your to lazy to get it yourself then don't eat. I always tip well when I order food from places that have delivery as my area don't have Doordash, Uber Eats or Postmates. Since these apps are geared towards the lazy or the feeling entitled there is a easy fix. Flat rate delivery fee. Under 5 miles $10 and 2 dollars a mile over 5 miles going 100% to the driver. I don't blame the driver for being mad. $1.50 really? Gas is $4 a gallon not to mention car maintenance. Nobody takes that into consideration, not to mention how far the driver has to drive to pick up the food. Bottom line tip well or PICK IT UP YOURSELF.

It isnt all lazy peopls, I use delivery services to get lunch at work because I get a half hour lunch only and it takes at least 15 minutes to get anywhere to get food with traffic, then the drive back, there goes my whole lunch. But if I get it delivered I can get food from anywhere and take my full half hour to eat - I just start my break when my food gets here or order it to be delivered 15 -20 minutes before my break on days I have too many meetings and need to preplan. But I also tip a minimum of 25% or $5 whichever is more (sometimes I just really want a Wendy's baked potato).

Reading through some of the comments, one guy is so pathetic and inconsiderate, no, no one forces anyone to deliver food, it's a small time chump change job, some people don't have a job, and they find it so easy to door dash, but you have so many customers that literally take advantage of the service, even folks with range Rovers parked and a $600,000.00 home and sometimes door dash will make many attempts to take advantage of the delivery driver's too and they see no urgency on anything. Some of the customers that don't tip, ask for too much, they tend to put extra instructions and do this or that, or go up 3 flights of stairs, or walk the entire apartment community trying to find them, like you know this person and I will tell you, if you can afford to order food and use a delivery service, you can afford to tip reasonably. I do not accept any orders under $4.00 and any orders where the miles are more than the money. Common sense, self employment, and your own boundaries!

This driver shouldn't be in a customer facing job. I'd pull a nuclear Karen on someone that treated me like that. I've only used these services once (at the start of COVID) and I didn't leave a tip when I ordered and couldn't figure out how to leave one after. Still seems really backwards. I've considered trying again, but each time the fees add at least $10, not counting the stupid tip. There is no reason that these services should allow tips, particularly before delivery.

Perhaps all the driver wanted was to make enough money for breakfast. If you're to lazy to make or get your own food, don't be cheap. If you're to cheap to make it worth someone else's time, don't be lazy. Make or get your own food.

Sounds like the customer just wanted breakfast. Nothing to do with laziness. My disabled roommate orders regularly because it's much easier than trying to make his own in a small kitchen in a wheelchair. He always tips fairly well, yet we almost never get our food hot or within a reasonable time or to the right address. Many times we've gotten a text saying the food was delivered yet it's nowhere to be found. I tried ordering a few times and don't do it anymore; it's too expensive, and the service is usually c**p so I just don't bother with the food apps anymore

Heck and for all the driver could of known the person ordering could of also paided him some of the tip in cash. Hell thats what we do because we aren't always sure if the tip we leave through sites will actually go to the drivers

Can we just stop calling it a tip already? Just call it a user defined service fee/bribe already, that's essentially what it is at this point. You are not using it to show gratitude at good work at this point, but instead using it to bribe workers to pick up your meal and hopefully actually give it to you instead of doing something stupid to it to spite you for not bribing them enough. (And before anyone says it, I do not use delivery apps, but i do believe hidden fees where the driver is congratulated for accepting money and not properly doing their job because they felt they were being underpayed is a shitty societal set of values)

I've never ordered meals but use InstaCart & this adds a tip but the customer can change it up or down. I tip 20% as I do in Restaurants plus tip more upon delivery because I want the driver to get paid for the delivery as well as shopping. It's not easy to deliver to me & I want the Shopper to know I truly appreciate this effort they needed to make. Tipping ahead of time doesn't convey this. I realize food is different but IF the driver delivers to my door, they will definitely get an extra tip.

That's the problem with this generation now. Gen z doesn't want to work conventional jobs because they hate having to follow a schedule and structure. They want to bank on these "hustle" jobs but then they become entitled. I for one do tip well because I get their circumstance. However, not everyone will. In my opinion, that is morally wrong on their part but by the end of the day you are not entitled to even a dime. These kids want these "flexible" jobs but then commit atrocities like this when they don't get their way. If it isn't paying enough, get a conventional job. No, they just want to make their own schedule to sit around and play video games all night. It's disgusting.

The concept of tipping is extra money for providing a good service, that driver should get nothing! If you can't handle heat, than stay out of the kitchen. A job is a job, most people in the United States are initialed and think some one owes them something. Go live in Russia or China for a while! Life is too easy here, soo sad

Look at the upcharge on each item next time you DoorDash. The markups are outrageous. Delivery drivers are out here thinking the customers are going to fund 2 businesses (restaurant and delivery provider) AND provide a living wage via tips to the delivery driver. Somehow those same delivery drivers that are demanding a living wage and refusing to work retail or food service until the EMPLOYER pays properly, think it's on the customer to pay a living wage when it comes to delivery services.

I drive Doordash and Uber. First, I would NEVER do a customer like that and I've delivered many orders where I didn't get tipped anything. The thing that people are getting confused is that Doordash and Uber drivers are INDEPENDENT BUSINESS OWNERS as far as the employment world is concerned. So, instead of looking at it like a tip, you should be looking at it like a CAB OR UBER RIDE for your meal and you are hiring the driver to deliver it. It's not like a waitress that actually is employeed by the restaurant and working for a tip.

This is why tips should be give ONLY AFTER the service is performed. All these pussy millenials with delivery "careers" expect to be paid before they even do a damn thing. Do your job good and you will be tipped. If you suck you may not get anything, but I will be damned if I am going to tip you 1st in an attempt to bribe you to do the r****d job that you have chosen. But I am also not lazy and incompetent so I get my own food.

Alright, please tip all the other people who aren't coming to your door, they did work too to get that food to your house. Without them there would have been nothing for the driver to give you. Also tip the farmers who got the vegetables to that restaurant. wait, this isn't right. You just need to pay for what you bought, and the price should include everyone into account without needing to tip anyone.

Tipping is for a job well done. It is not a mandatory thing anyone should expect to get unless they are doing a good job. That's it. As much as some people want to make it a requirement, or something that is expected of a customer to do regardless of the job they do, that is not what a tip is and will never be that either. The fact anyone is asked to tip beforehand is insane to me and being from Las Vegas, tipping is a huge part of the service industry here. And to the writer of this article, the minimum wage is different in different states because the cost of living is different in each. The person making $15 in Cali isnt doing better than someone making 7.25 in Texas. No customer is forced to 'shoulder the burden of paying someone part of their wage via tips'. Someone's pay is the responsibility of their employer only.

As someone who is poor and mentally ill I cant get out of the house sometimes because 1. I get too anxious, 2. Gas is too much to go get a $13 burger so it makes sense to me to get it delivered instead. I don't understand why I have to be somebody's employer and am expected to pay a high tip for something I can barely afford myself. If someone can't tip you should probably assume the best about someone if you're going to assume anything at all. Other than that just do the job you chose to have.

While I'm fully willing to leave a $5 or more tip for anyone who handles my be the waiter, waitress, delivery driver, many more people aren't because either they are just against tipping or only feel like tipping is something you should do in an actual restaurant, not a side hussle that is totally optional just so you can make some extra cash. You want a good tip delivery drivers then do your job better and do it right. Heard way too many stories of delivery app drivers taking a bite out of the food that isn't even their food

I have just recently completed a full year as a dasher and these are some of my findings: As I live in a small town that only has so many residents, it has allowed me some unique insights. After the first year I decided a change from doordash was needed, so I downloaded the Uber Eats app and starting working for them. To my surprise, many of the people in my small town enjoyed my friendly and prompt service so they started switching over to my new platform. This is where it gets REAL scary...In my conversations with some customers, because of their switch, they told me their actual tip amounts. It was literally half of what doordash paid on the app. Doordash is keeping HALF the tips!!!! Just watch, here shortly you will be flipping through the t.v channels and see one of those class action lawsuits for doordash and other violators like them.

I'm no doubt going to upset people here, sorry, not sorry, but I go out for a meal very infrequently. Maybe twice a year. And I only go for a special occasion. It is not my business how busy it is in the kitchen or how understaffed the servers are because 'Fred' rang in sick. Again. I don't take those things into account, because I shouldn't even be aware of them. If I get good service from the servers, then I will tip them. If you are tutting and practically throwing the plates on the table, the chances are you probably won't. Or at least it might not be as much as you were hoping for. Ordering in food, maybe another two times, the same applies. I will tip you because you saved me having to go out, but it won't be anything like 20%. I get that you have to pay petrol etc, but that's really not my problem. I don't tip a parcel courier and that's basically the same principle. If I buy something from ebay, I don't expect to pay for the seller's shoe leather to get to the post office.

If you ask the delivery driver was in the wrong you can decline orders that don't work with you like what the driver was mad about or the distance being to long. When me and my mom door dash we take orders where the pay is greater than the distance and a lot of times we go to people within walking distance of the store. And what the driver doesn't realize if you have a high rating for delivery's you get high priority for high paying delivery's.

It's not my business how the company you chose to work for compensates you. Companies should pay employees a livable wage for their work. I am a nurse. I can't treat my patients poorly because the facility I work for pays poorly.. I had the option to NOT work there after all. And if I wanted additional pay, you advocate for change. If it doesn't happen. Search for other options. It's absurd for servers, drivers, etc to expect people to somehow KNOW what your wages are and throw your should be hourly/salary your way. Tipping is a bonus.. it always has. Companies, properly pay your employees. Stop playing with humans wages. Employees, do good work. The business you chose is risky. You might get it, you might not. Don't play with karma. Consumers, pay for your service accordingly, and tip how you see fit.

Not only that but I accepted the delivery before I was happy with the amount I was paid to do it before hand, why would I care how much of that came from DD vs tips?

Regarding tips, I always take into account what it takes to provide the service. In a restaurant, I pay the waitress/waiter 15-20% for service for 1-4 people, 25-30% for large groups, but only 10% when I am picking up food at a restaurant. I tip according to the service given. However, when I order from a delivery service, I always tip according to the driver’s driving time plus gasoline. Anything less than $10 tip is downright cheap. Tipping a delivery person is NOT like tipping a waitress, you are tipping on the cost of food alone, but on the service. Think about it, would you work for someone just for a tip? Everyone deserves to be paid at least the minimum wage. Too often these delivery companies pay very little to the drivers. If you don’t think a person deserves to be paid the worth of the service, than, do it yourself. I don’t think the driver should have been so petty to leave the food in the tree, but neither should have accepted the order.

As a Dasher, I feel for the driver, but I'm on the customers side with this. The Dasher app doesn't explicitly tell you what the tip is, but it does tell you the base pay and tip totalled together. The driver should've just declined the order if it was too low. If you accept then you are agreeing to finish the job to completion.

So that may be his choice of employment but when you go out to eat you leave a tip, because someone is essentially bringing you your food? If you can't afford to tip atleast $2 to $3 you shouldn't be using the service. That's the convenience for you not to have to leave your home it's the least you can do what goes around comes around pay it forward. I never seen so many cheap people. It's almost not about the money but just disrespectful. And if he doesn't like the way doordash does their tipping option use a different service that let's you tip after if you should decide to leave one. Smh

The driver has a job with responsibilities. He did not fulfill those responsibilities. Bottom line, he deserves zero tip. A tip is given for a job well done. The delivery charge is for the delivery. A tip should be appreciated, not expected. I worked delivering pizza for 5 years. I quit when the tipping got bad. Thankfully I could afford to live without it. We live in the USA and have the freedom to seek out a different job if we are unhappy with the one we have. This driver should seek out a job they can be happy with, or go back to school to train for a job they can be happy with.

I’m a very good tipper, even if the service is marginal. But, owners paying their staff beans and “expecting” customers to pay their salary is BS. Labor is a cost of doing business, always has been. Charge what you think you must to cover your desired margin, which includes labor. If your margin expectations are too high, you’ll go out of business…plain and simple. In the meantime, I’ll reward staff with a good tip when the service exceeds expectations…as it should be.

Yea sure the driver shouldn't have left the food in the tree but in all seriousness tipping someone 1.50 for something you could have gotten yourself since you live within walking distance of said restaurant is definitely a d**k move. You should tip more solely on the fact that you live that close but don't want to get off your lazy a*s and go get it yourself.

It is truly hilarious that delivery people get upset at the customer paying $50 for a Big Mac instead of at their employers who choose not to pay them.

First of all this delivery driver is my personal hero. What people don't understand is 1, Doordash rates their drivers on a point system and if a driver declines deliveries, due to any reason, this goes against you. Meaning fewer high paying deliveries, so in order to continue getting deliveries, you have to accept a few shitty ones, which sucks. Its a catch 22. The bottom line is door dash sucks and customers who cant tip 15% should get their triffling a@@es of the couch and go get their own food. Problem solved.

I am a lifelong over tipper. Like, it's one of the reasons that I am divorced! I get that if you tip before service, sometimes you get better service. I would probably never go as low as $1.50. That said, why does door dash, other food delivery, force people to tip prior to delivery? Like, does tipping mean that you don't retrieve your order out of a tree? I have pre tipped and gotten orders stolen from my porch when I clearly ask the person to bring it to me. I feel for both the customer and the driver. Tipping is based on service. If you provide me a positive experience, I probably tip 30%. If you are crappy, I still give you the 15% that you need to claim on your taxes. But, the problem is tipping before service is rendered

Tipping is like Christmas gifts ,it's supposed to be enjoyed by the giver and the receiver . USA is totally out of hand . If you left a 1.50 tip in France tout Germany at a restaurant the waiter would be satisfied but not related . 4.00 they would be super happy . Pay real salaries or don't do the work !!

You wont get off your lazy a*s to go HALF a mile to get your own food, but expect someone else to get it for $1.50??? Nah, the guy who ordered is a lazy narcissistic a-hole. People are worth more than $1.50 to be your servant. We tip in America, because we arent disrespectful savages, we appreciate human servitude.

Drivers get salaries to do their jobs and they get salaries for that. No tips should be required, if they are not happy they could quit the job and look for something else to do for living. Low wages are issues for unions to discuss and correct.

That's what happens when you don't pay your employees living wages, make them pay for their own gas, ride, insurance etc .... and expect the customer to make up for it. Tips are there to award GOOD service. At least it is in most other countries. If someone just does their job ... why tip? I don't get tips for showing up to work every morning. I get a "tip" (i.e. bonus) if I do something exceptionally well. Your tip culture is f'd up!

Idk what's the deal with all of these. Just revisit the facts: -tip is optional and a charity -not all people are generous for many reasons: >Not social climber >Not that financially liberated >Logical thinker >Or what not -customers already paid for the food, service fees and income of the food app company -the order itself is already a contribution to the food establishments the fact that it's additional sales -as long as customers respect drivers and vice versa, there should be no reason to resent.. Indeed too much even of a good thing can be bad. Tipping culture has been so abundant that it made people think it's obligatory. It's like demanding help rather than requesting it with an option to decline bc it's every person's right. These dilemmas of whether or not to tip and how much should only be a topic amongst the really wealthy whom also happen to be the ones collecting what could've been the higher wages of the drivers. Middle-classes should stop being social climbers pretending to give especially higher tippers, just to please others and make them look like they are well off. Availing of a luxury service even if your middle class shouldn't mean your social climber bc everyone would like to have some luxury and convenience at least every once in a while. When they do, it doesn't mean they can afford to tip especially if big.

I really hate tips, they could just go and increase the price of the food, and mention that part of it goes to the delivery guy. The increase in the price should be done by the app or company that's partnering with the restaurant. I don't think this will end well, but it would be better if the companies just increased the wages of the waiter and delivery people based on the customer reviews they get.

All of you dashers who are complaining need to wake up, then grow up. You are working an unskilled job - yes that’s right - what you do displays no skill that is worthy of a high tip. You drive around in your car hitting your vape pen being the middle man for people who are too lazy or too busy to get their own food. Just because your mommy told you you were special growing up doesn’t mean you get to get to put in minimal effort for maximum/high reward. Go learn a skill and get a job, if you need money in the meantime keep dashing, but don’t lie to yourself and think you deserve to get paid a sizable tip for minimal service.

You chose a s**t job because it takes zero physical labor. You got a s**t tip before you did your shot job. You did your job in a shitty manor. Do better with your life or stop complaining because noone made you deliver food at your own convenience. Also people stop acting like the convenience of sitting on your butt, not cooking, not driving, and not wasting your gas is only worth $1.50....the tip should be for the amount of inconvenience you avoided. If that's only $1.50 than your a lazy piece of s**t that should have gotten their own damn food.

What people has to understand that the ones that deliver for DoorDash, Uber , Zifty or any others these people do not work for them they are independent contractors if the customer is going to be lazy and go through the services they do need to tip them they’re not getting paid for delivering food. They get paid when the customer tips them and it depends on how much the order is will depend on the tip but a normal tip is just like in a restaurant is 15% of the total bill.

Very unacceptable. This young man doesn't know the customers financial situation. Also, maybe the customer didn't really care for the service. Maybe the kid took too long and the food got cold. I've also been part of the whole gig economy. Yeah, I didn't like how I got treated sometimes, so I started my own business. If you don't like the service industry, then get yourself out of it. I suggest getting yourself out of it with a lateral transition however rather than via getting sacked. This type of behavior is deserving of getting sacked though. Very unacceptable

Door dash really needs to give people strikes for 0.00 tip. After 3 dashers should be able to not accept and not hurt acceptance rating. People are forced to accept to not hurt rating but if non tippers than rating shouldn't be affected!!

If you're not willing to do something yourself, you should be willing to pay someone else who does it for you. That said, here are some other thoughts.... Commentors claim you should give money for gas, at least. So let's figure this out: gas is $3.50, the avg modern car gets minimum 25mpg. Hungry guy lives .4mi from store so hungry dude should pay $0.056 for gas (that's less than 10 cents). On a bad day it might take 5min to drive .5mi. If delivery dude would normally make $15/hr, that would be $1.25 for 5min. Hungry dude actually gave delivery dude a raise by tipping $1.50 ($1.25 + $0.056 =$1.31). You can't claim wear and tear on vehicle, because the gov't pays that (up to $0.52cpm) if you're tax savvy. Personally, I might have gone to $3 just because I didn't have to put on pants, but it all comes down to being paid for time. Hungry dude compensated delivery dude adequately *for his time*.

I get both side of the argument. I do dash mainly as a side hustle but also when I am out of work. The thing that bugs me is first he would not know the tip amount until he completes the delivery. At least that is how it works on my father app. The second is although trust me many times I would kill to have said what this guy did but ya id prefer be a decent human being.. Trust me on this though if he only got 1.50 tip and the usual Door dash pay of $2 for that distance it's much smarter to reject it given most deliveries take way longer then people think. The food often isn't prepared when you arrive. Google maps half the time takes you to a nearby but wrong location. Many orders have no building numbers or gate codes etc etc. Most orders that should take 10 to 15 mins take 30 minutes of your time. That being said yes a bigger tip is appreciated but truthfully I think the issue is doordash pay. Cause at an order paying 3.50 for 30 mins you are earning below minimum wage.

A crucial thing you're all missing, door dash drivers often cannot pass uber or Lyft inspection. Their cars are often either too trashed or not a 4 door. It's not always the case, but often they can't just go to another provider.

The delivery driver is stupid for accepting an order like that, I postmated for years and I was able to average 45 bucks an hour from 4-8pm and roughly 20-25$ all other times just by declining all fast food restaurants and holding out for fancy restaurants in rich areas. Try to avoid the ghetto as well as breakfast and lunch unless you know you're going to get big business clientele, otherwise you won't even make minimum wage after gas and taxes delivering somebody six chicken McNuggets at a time. You have to let the rookies and Scrubs take those orders for the app to survive while you snipe the better orders.

Ok, let's clear up something. It's not so much a tip as a bid for service. Second, for those who say $5 is too much, you have to remember everything comes out of the driver's pocket. Gas, insurance,etc. Now the thing is, we don't have to accept the orders. If I get a $3 order I decline it in a heartbeat. Most drivers have less than a 20% acceptance rate. That means 80%+ orders just sit there and don't get delivered. So you don't get your food. That leaves 2 choices, tip or get it yourself. Now, if you're too lazy to get it yourself or too cheap to tip maybe you shouldn't be ordering. Lastly, it's amazing how many people are willing to give their money to a faceless corporation but unwilling to throw a few bucks to an individual who's working hard.

A tip of $1.50 is pretty sad but there's no excuse for this behavior! I would recommend just getting some fresh air and walk to get breakfast! But i guess if you cant give the delivery driver more than $1.50 than i wouldnt bother going to a restaurant where you got to tip at least 10-20% depending on where you live! There are always two sides to the problem but delivery guy went way to far and needs to find a new job if he can't deal with a shitty customer that can't even pay for gas money! So my real recommendation is to just make your own breakfast and you won't have to deal with people that have bad days or crazy delivery drivers!

I am siding with the Doordash people here. If you can afford expensive habits like eating out, tip between twenty to thirty percent of the receipt total. These people are taking time out of THEIR day, burning fuel as well as wear and tear on THEIR vehicle to perform a SERVICE for YOU. If you can't afford to tip respectfully, might be time to a) get off your fat a$$ and go get it yourself, b) don't eat out, or c) learn how to operate a stove or oven and cook your own damned food in the first place. I don't want to hear this "I can't afford to tip" b.s. Might be time to stop eating out too. Ramen noodles are twenty five cents a pack and take three minutes to cook. No tipping necessary. But you need to stop taking economic advantage of other people doing YOU a service. Nuff said.

The problem is no matter how well you do your job there are so many of these entitled assholes that have no morals. These drivers also maintain vehicles and added insurance to do this job and in my opinion you should never tip less than 20% and even a small order of food being brought to your doorstep is worth no less than a $5 tip. Go pick up your food if you don’t want to appreciate these people who do these jobs. Atleast they do have jobs and aren’t out robbing you or spending all their time doing drugs and signing up for welfare. Have morals folks and appreciate every person just like you want appreciation for doing your job.

I am a driver for Uber and UberEats, and if you're going to utilize the service, then you need to tip industry standard which is a minimum of 20%. A lot of the time delivery person has to wait in a drive-thru line for over 20 minutes, like at McDonald's once the lobby has closed. This is why I am prone to start canceling orders after 15 minutes of waiting because the orders generally don't pay much in the first place, and to make a good wage, you can't waste time behind waiting because time is money. However, society is just straight-up cheap! People are under the misconception that tips are included in an Uber fare. Sorry to disappoint, but it's not! I go out of my way to accommodate a customer, which is shown in my 5-star rating so when I accommodate a customer with his request, he best take that into consideration when tipping. You get what you pay for...your cheapness will justifiably warrant mediocre service.

It’s NOT a “tip”!! It’s a bid for service. You’re adding an enticement for expedited service. No different than paying next day shipping (does that go to the Fed Ex driver?) the company uses that to make the accommodation, a gig driver is a de-facto company that facilitates product movement between entities. While this driver exhibited poor judgement, perhaps we’d all have a better understanding of the dynamic of we started looking at this additional monies for what it actually is.

I deliver for a local restaurant, as a retirement gig, and worked for the post office for 34 years before retiring. Here’s some tips for people regarding delivery- 1) Put some damn numbers on your house. Lord have mercy, why would you want the post office, fedex, Amazon, or food delivery people going in circles looking for your residence. A simple consideration if you want things delivered timely and correctly. 2) Keep your entrance and stairs free from tripping hazards. The handrail shouldn’t come off in somebody’s hand when they use it, and your stairs shouldn’t be wobbling. Ice & snow should be cleared if you expect deliveries. 3) If you don’t want to pay the delivery fees or tip the driver; go pick it up yourself. Amazing that people will tip a waitress that carries a dish to a table, but think a delivery driver puts in less effort. I got news for you, the delivery driver is sometimes putting in double the effort, especially if the weather is bad, along with driving conditions.

Unfortunately many companies do not pay their workers a decent wage. For some reason they believe tips will cover this. Because economy is truly struggling pandemic war inflation mortgage fraud many people barely have enough to pay bills let alone anything extra. But I know many delivery people waiters waitresses and though we live on soc sec. Very tight. We try to leave a decent tip. If I do not have it one day ... I make it up next day. This driver was upset. So instead of punching someone or worse shooting they put food in the tree. Not smart. But I do understand why. Maybe the customer could give a little more next time. Just a thought.

The whole thing is so exploitative for everyone. The drivers don't get paid enough so what would normally be a decent tip is not enough, they gouge the customer and the business with fees and more fees, and when your order is screwed up by the restaurant no one will help beyond maybe giving you a refund. I don't blame that on the driver, when you go through a 3rd party that's what can happen, but it really sucks. I had another bad experience with Doordash last night, and that is pretty much it for me. I'm only going to get delivery from in-house, like pizza. At least the driver gets paid to bring me the food that was forgotten. This tip culture is absolutely insane. All it means is that American business figured out how to make other people pay their employees' wages.

If base pay of a job can not support you or family, maybe think of another career. Tipping is a joke, and a very horrible way to have stable income. Door dash, fast food work, cashiers are not top pay jobs. If I can do your job in three months effectively, why do you think your pay should equal someone who has put years into their profession? These are low level/entry jobs, not careers. These are jumping off points to working atmospheres, not life time jobs. Have higher expectations for yourself, put in the work and become productive in a field that can be useful forever, Electrician, contractor, plumber, mechanic. All of these fields are in dire need of people, good paying jobs are out there you just got to be willing to put in the effort.

You can't get something for nothing. Delivery is hard on cars for starters and be aware DD driver is not just delivering food but oftentimes things like groceries to top floor apartments, flowers, auto parts, etc. Now if you think delivery companies should pay more be aware that cost will get passed off to you across the board. It just might be cheaper and in your best interest to leave a decent tip.

I use Doordash a lot. Most delivery people are great but once in awhile!!!!! I am able to tip pretty heavy most of the time unless a bad attitude comes into play and then I scale down. I really try to consider that these drivers or dealing with these difficult financial Times and when I can, I over tip.

The whole concept of tipping goes straight back to slavery (hold on now, let me explain) since slaves did not earn much, good service by “non owners” was rewarded in the only way it could be, by leaving cash behind on the table, etc.. Since companies are now getting scrutinized for “early job termination” claw-back of “training fees” (ie: if you quit before 6 months for any reason you owe thousands of dollars back to the company for in house training) as slavery/indentured servitude, can a $3 an hour wage at say, Cracker Barrel-the home of the meager tip, even escape scrutiny much longer?”

People who work for tips in the US need to understand that it is NOT the customers responsibility to make sure you have a living wage. Here's a thought...get another job. How about you go back to school or start a side hustle. If anything you should be fighting your employer! If you don't provide excellent service chances are you won't be tipped. Receiving a tip is not a right and the customer is under no obligation to leave one.

Incidentally, I love how the driver told' the customer he was "close to quitting". I'll bet that had that poor customer shaking in his boots. "If you tightasses fint start tipping better I'm gonna quit. NOW how do you feel ?" * THAT - that right there - is textbook Narcissism. Thinking a total stranger gives a f**k about your life. Or should I say, thinking a total stranger SHOULD give a f**k about your life. * Dear DD driver, Get a real job. I hear Amazon is hiring * Dear John Q Public, Get up off your fat a*s(es) and fetch your own food, instead of paying $25 for a $12 meal. * Problem solved.

Doordash hides part of the tip so we know when the offer hits a certain dollar value then it prob tips a bit more once delivered.. if you don't value the service and live across street go walk save the fees. drivers are NOT EMPLOYEES. no wages no miles or gas compensation & $2.50 to deliver if customer doesn't offer add.money.. thats why it's actually an offer for luxury service not tip. Were self contracted. doordash is only a platform offering order system to restaurant and drivers available the driver decides if your offer is worth it. But doordash hides the bulk of your tip.. aka offer for service.. Im very careful in which orders I accept. when I accept nice size order & propper offers are 18 percent.. door dash shows me $6.50 and say 5 miles.. I spend 20 to 25 minutes and about $2 or $3 in gas to drop it and drive back to the restaurants.. I would expect at leat $15 tip. customer for luxury service. its not a necessity. Would u work for $8 an hour after gas? Not like waiter at al

Revealing the nature of that driver was worth it. Who knows what tip would make such a person do a good job? You can add to the tip afterwards if it turns out your deliverer did a particularly good job. That should be the extent of it. People who are good at customer service seem to thrive in a tip environment, people who are bad at just don't, even if a minimum tip is added to every ticket.

Second of all, its become the norm everything has to be posted to social media anymore because most people don't have a life these days and that's all they live for, watching and posting to social media.

To me, Doordash deliverers should not be treated like dropping two quarters in a vending machine and you have your candy. These are human workers who were burning $5 gas for ten miles to get you your food. And they have bills to pay and families to take care of.

I have the same problem with Dominos. I am homebound and the store is literally 1 mile from me. I usually have large orders (I freeze some for another time). They have Doubled their delivery fee and the automatically add a tip. I give explicit directions but they screw it up every time. (Last house on right and not the home directly in front of you as you come down the road - porch light is on.). Needless to say, the always go to the straight in front of them. Another new thing is adding $1 to ea item if delivered when if you pick it up, they do not add this in. The same amt of work goes into preparing it for pick up as it does for delivery... Same number of boxes. It makes no sense. The tip they auto include is 15 percent. The driver does nothing but pick up the order & deliver, it's already in insulated bags. I usually have to go retrieve my order from neighbor who then wants something. They base the tip on food, their delivery chg and tax. No more.

Why should I pay someone's wages. Tips are for good service, if I go to a buffet I'll leave 1$ because all they did was bring my drink, if I order online and go pick it up they get nothing. If you deliver, the tip will depend on how far you had to come, if my order is correct and if you brought it to me. I used to be a server and if my tips didn't come to minimum wage my employer had to pay it, and that law hasn't changed.

Also an FYI just because you live right beside the restaurant doesn't mean much they could be more than 5 miles away from the restaurant when they get the dash so then they are paying mileage to the store then to your house. I took a blizzard from DQ and a meal from Westside diner to a drop off totaling 18 miles got 1.50 tip and the customer telling me they hoped their blizzard was melted at all...it just spent forty minutes in my car in 85 degree whether.. I did nothing crazy but man the forty minutes I spent getting both orders and the salty comment and the 1.50 tip had me a little hot and I've been working in customer service for over 10 years from Dept. Of family services..to Verizon to a waitress and dasher..even worked at a clinic. The problem is not the dasher mostly, it's self entitled people that think they are above delivery people in general. If you don't wanna tip, GO GET IT YOURSELF. You are the boss in the situation, would u want your boss to treat you like that?

I personally would never do something like this, but I understand how the guy feels. Sometimes low tipped orders get stacked with bigger ones and you don't realize it until the orders are picked up. At that point your obligated to deliver it or get penalized. I feel fortunate to be in California where door dash now has to compensate us better for our time.

I unsterstand what people are thinking..just quit find a better job. What If everyone did that though, there are plenty of people in the workforce who are underpaid the question is whether they should or should not quit its exactly what is gone in this world. Empathy and lack of judgement. Some of you are quick to judge but would you stand in line for 45 minutes to get your food, or deal with crappy attitudes just to drive God knows how many miles for 1.50 tip? Probably not but you sure are gonna let a dasher do exactly that and pay them 1.50 tip. You don't sound smart but saying quit if you don't like it. I've seen way too many people stand in restaurants and complain about the lack of help and them having to wait long periods for that reason. So you can't have if both ways. The best way is to think what would I be okay with? If your honest with yourself then you will know what is acceptable for possible time, miles, what they have to go through to get to Your door.

I use Doordash sometimes. I tip 15-20% online and text the driver that there is an additional cash tip at the door. My gripe is that they don't follow the directions to find me. I order delivery because I'm busy and don't want to stand out on the porch and flag them down.

The way doordash pack on the fees....if the fees weren't so much then maybe drivers would get a bigger tip. I always tip at least $5. But all they're doing is delivering the food. It's not like they're going above and beyond to check our order before leaving the restaurant to make everything is there. That's why I like Instacart because you can decrease or increase the tip based off of the service.

I'm not excusing the drivers actions on this at all he should have refused such a low paying trip. Personally I won't start my car for less then 6 dollars I don't care it it's 10 feet to the drop off. A little break down in time versus pay 5 minutes to the restaurant another 3 to park and walk in 10 minutes at Chick-fil-A because your going to wait for the order the. Then another 5 minutes to arrive at said apartment building then 1 to 10 minutes to find your apartment. Assuming base pay is 3 dollars +1.50 for a total of 4.50 that pay is garbage even if everything went perfect

I occasionally drive for DoorDash — and today I accepted an order for 5.25 ( tip ended up being 1.50). And it took 30mins to get there— it was from the east side to the north side and the order had been declined or not accepted for 45mins.

This is why I don't use door dash or any tipping service. No other delivery service has any issues but food delivery? I blame the companies. You never hear UPS Amazon hell hell even Walmart has better delivery service than door dash. Driver shouldn't have delivered the customer order in a tree with any other delivery service the driver would have been terminated. Tips are gratuity not a right. Read the fine print in your job description folks.

If everyone followed all the comments advice and simply wouldn't do delivery jobs, then all the folks who like the luxury of getting their food delivered would be SOL. And for the majority of people who use delivery (handicapped folks aside) it is a luxury, and the people who don't tip but still enjoy the use of this service are ahead of the rest of us who simply cannot afford it between the delivery fee and the tip. So maybe before long all you 'get a better job' people will have to do what I do and get off your can and go get it yourself. We are already almost there in the restaurant industry with more and more places switching to self serve or limiting hours because they cannot find help. Just went to a restaurant in Nashville that usually has full service and they had people order at the counter, puck up their own food and get their own drinks due to lack of staff. Best get used to it. I wish companies cared more about their employees/customers, but they don't.

How about the worker who actually made the food, and it's most likely paid under minimum wage because in some states if you get $20 a month worth of tips they can legally pay you less that minium wage. The food workers don't get a tip at all for this third party delivery service orders, which takes them away from the customers in the store who could potentially tip them, but if they have to wait because of the online orders they lose those tips too.

The driver missed his blessing by not concluding the task. As a nine-year old in the South Bronx I would take my 2 wheel cart to the market asking customers if I could pack and carry their grocery. This little old lady hired me and I wheeled the groceries in my 2 wheel cart taller than me. Arriving to her building, she resided on the top floor with not elevator. After placing her groceries in the apartment, she opened her billfold and proudly gave me a dime. I folded my cart rushed back to the market to ask another customer to hire me. I could here my mother saying be glad for any blessing. That day I made the most money out of all of my friends.

And I got= NO TIP !!,...just $4 from DD,....turned out to be a "make-up" delivery because Panera messed up the original order the day before and I was the "fall-guy" that the Panera manager took advantage of,...i complained to Panera Corporate and told them what happened and I got a $40/E-card,..sometimes its the restaurant that screws you too.

Yeah, but you know that there's people who will do dumb s**t to your food, even AFTER you left them a big tip. Some people are just assholes and that's the problem. A lot of these "dashers" don't understand what the service industry is, and that tipping is to be done AFTER that service is provided. I'm a big tipper, like I'll make it more than worth it, but if someone is doing a s**t job, do they still deserve a $20 tip on a $10 order? Nah. People can make hundreds on tips in any profession. Even after the recommended tip, I've given extra due to performance. It's not hard to be nice to people, difference between waiters/waitresses, is they know their tips are based off of their performance. DD still haven't figured that our yet.

in my area fast food restaurants are paying around $20/hr. i need to make min $25/hr doing deliveries in order to be on the same level because car maintenance is expensive and the car itself i didn't get it for free. it takes average 20-25minutes per delivery. if a customer lives far away from the restaurants and he/she orders something small i still make the round trip and 20% tip from $10 order is nothing. i decline 90% of the small orders and the ones going in the middle of nowhere. tips are not necessary if the apps pay good but most of the companies don't. if the delivery fees are too high and you cant tip just go and get your order, dont pay for delivery and don't tip. if i can't make $15 per delivery in 30-35mins i am wasting my time because expenses regarding the vehicle are high. its not just the mileage, drivers wait at the restaurants and time is more important than miles for me. per mile if i don't do minimum $2 than there is no decent profit. meals on wheels might be a good option for some so called customers. also drivers have nothing to do with the company you are placing the order with. doordash/Uber etc don't deliver, they just take your order, drivers using their own vehicles, driving on snow, ice, rain, stuck in traffic and daily almost in an accident deliver your food to your door OR TREE. over 8000 deliveries in the past 2 yrs with average of over $15 per delivery. i leave the peanuts and non grateful customers for the charity drivers

No it is not our responsibility to pick up the load of the lack of government regulations for that job and the lack of financial support from the employers. The customers are the heart of delivery services and if the drivers start to alienate the exact same customers, the delivery apps will become null & void and taken over by other apps that got around “tipping” … I don’t tip unless I was provided excellence

The problem with tipping more than $1 or $2 for delivery is you're usually already paying $5-10 for service fees/delivery. Your food is already quite expensive even when on sale. For 1 meal you're never paying less than $20 anywhere you order delivery. Half the time door dash delivers it cold. Hence why I use this system. If my order was good the last time. I tip bigger. If they delivered it cold. I tip nothing. If they could make a change to the system it would be to allow a tip after the meal is delivered. That way the driver who delivered it could get his just due.

the company should pay the driver that is his job so his boss needs to PAY HIM. The tip should just be extra the customer should not be responsible for the delivery persons wage. A tip is up to each person and weather the driver did his job well and maybe he doesent even have enough mony to pay him extra. the Boss charges delivery and that should go to the driver. It is extra to have it delivered so why does the boss get that extra charge. it should be the tip and if the customer wants to give the driver more for being nice or fast or what ever it should not be mandatory. Thats his job and he should get payed for that by his BOSS. so to that end His boss is the a*s.... and the driver should not take it out on the customer. I tip well usually because my delivery people have been really respectful and nice. If soneone left my food in a tree I would not give them a tip at all

The problem is the economy not the clients. As gas and everything else rises, employers should pay more. You shouldn’t have to tip people for doing their job they’re already being paid to do, unless they’ve gone above and beyond. If the job doesn’t pay well, get another one. It’s hard out here for EVERYONE. Nurses are overworked and underpaid and we help save lives! If I was the employer, The delivery person would’ve been fired. There’s no excuse for verbal abusing a client. They made the employer as well as themselves look bad. Customers make us angry, but we’re suppose to show professionalism.

Some people is barely making it as it is. Everything is going up except the income. My point is, that some people do not have money to tip. Their trying to. Ake ends meet.

People need to realize that they aren't owed tips, it's like expecting a gift from a stranger. Apparently in places outside of America and Canada tipping isn't as common.

If you don't like how much you make at a job go get a new one or instead of door dashing go get a real job door dashing should just be for extra income not a job to support yourself or anyone else on if you want to be a delivery person go work for Amazon ups or FedEx

I'm sorry but tips should only be given AFTER the service is rendered!! If you do good work AND the customer appreciated the way you served them THEN and only then is a tip optional! Stop expecting tips! Instead give it your all and BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU GET! Yes some customers can be a$$holes, but that's part of the job, move on, forgive them and don't let the way they acted ruin your day.

It’s all about service… if good service is received a generous tip should reward that service, but not ahead of delivery. If you are just being cheap, get off your lazy bum and pick up your own food, or whatever! Rewarding good service breeds good service.

No offense but when I’ve done big tips like $7 or $10 I have to drive and get my own food because the person decided to not even go and pick up my food. So I understand fully tipping little. And if ppl want higher tips DoorDash needs to have the price if you would actually go to the restaurant rather then charge $5 dollars above the money. Yeah I stopped using DoorDash pricing is ridiculous.

When tipping first started if a person received one penny it was considered to be excellent service and it wasn't part of their pay. It was a thank you on the part of the customer. I don't understand how it is that people can't see that the businesses are literally getting the public to pay for their employees wages in part when it is NOT the responsibility of the customer. It is and always has been literally a THANK YOU for quality service from the employee. The employers are taking advantage of employees who might receive this extra money in their pocket. You work for a wage, and if someone appreciates you and what you do for them resulting in them giving you a "tip" that is not any of the employers business. They hired the person to do a job and should pay the wage, gratuity has nothing to do with the employer. After all the employer didn't serve, the waiter/waitress or delivery driver did! So why are tips considered wages?! ITS A FREAKIN THANK YOU FROM THE CUSTOMER TO THE SERVER!

If you're worried about minimum wage, then stop being a loser. Minimum wage is for teenagers, seniors and other new entrants to the work force. This is pathetic. Work hard, be humble, live well below your means and the satisfaction and money will come. The biggest problem is people want something for nothing and refuse to work hard. Plus the government incentives people to be lazy morons and taxes the hell out of everything so companies cut costs wherever they can.

As a fellow door dash employee. You have the ability to see how much you'll be making before you agree to accept the order. If it was too small of a tip.... He could have simply declined to take the order and waited for a better one. His actions make no sense. He knew he was only making a few dollars and he hit accept on the app. This guy is b******t and a clown. No need to act that way.

Food delivery is stupid anyway but the driver is an a*****e. Go get a real job and stop depending on tips from strangers you bum! You obviously have a car so drive it to some interviews for a better job and quit leaving food in trees. And to the guy who ordered it…if Chick-Fil-A is only .4 miles away then just walk your lazy a*s down there and get it and stop wasting money on fees and tips that you wouldn’t have to pay if you got your food yourself!

I tip well. Usually a $10 tip minimum when I use Door dash regardless of the amount of the order but drivers need to get over thinking a good tip is mandatory. I tip is given for excellent service as a reward or bonus. It's not mandatory. Be thankful you got a tip.

Problem is you order a $7 Burger and after the fees and delivery charges it's $2 so maybe the the people getting employed by doordash should consult with doordash for how much they charge people. There's no way I'm gonna give a person a $5 tip when I've ordered a $7 Burger and doordash's already charged me $21 or more for delivery. I used to drive for Uber eats and their idea of increasing my wage After the gas prices went up $2 was to charge the customer more money so they could give me more money. In reality it didn't do anything but make people lower the amount of tip. So, the amount of money didn't increase. I simply quit and got a regular job. There are tons of regular jobs out there it's out there. Nobody is forcing anyone to be a delivery driver.

When you take ANY job, they tell you the expected wages. If it isn't what you want, go find another job. Want a good job that pays good and you don't need huge education and you want to drive, trucking. However, you only get what you put into it too. Just like every other job.

I truly wonder how dumb some people are. They don't want to tip or they tip pocket change for a stranger to drive somewhere, pick up their food and then deliver it to their job or home. It's called convenience and in our soceity you pay for convenience. In the same breathe, they say the company, door dash in this case, should pay the drivers more and they shouldn't be responsible for pay these working people. Then at the same time they complain the delivery fees are to high already. Well I've got news for you types of people, If the "company" pays the drivers more where exactly do you think that money is coming from? It's going to come from YOU in the form of much higher delivery fees. The company is simply middle man between the customers and the driver and they facilitate the transaction. That's the reason for their fees. Right or wrong that's the business model. These companies are not going to do this for free. I am a former lyft driver and the set up is a joke.

My husband and I used to Doordash. If you decline orders, it affects your numbers and it doesnt seem like you get as many runs. I doubt the recommend tip was 1.50...hes just a cheap fer. Should the dasher have taken the run? Probably not but the guy knew what he was tipping. Don't be naive. People telling dashers to get a real job? Then who will ever deliver your lazyasses food? What ever would you do? People told servers to get a "real job" and now your favorite restaurant is understaffed and it takes a lot longer to get sat. Unlike servers (which I was one for several years), doordashers use their own money for gas and their own wear and tear on their car so tip!! Not only that, but alot of times at restaurants, the order isn't even ready. So the driver has to drive from their location to the store still so it doesnt matter if this guy lives around the corner, uses his own gas and puts time into waiting for the order....1.50?? Really?? That's c**p. Dont want to tip, get your own food

I've never used door dash and probably wouldn't if I was just ordering for myself. But if I was ordering 20.00 of food I would tip at least 5.00. If it was extra fast might add more...If I'm adding more it'd be cash(not calling the number if I have cash) Honestly I rather give the driver cash. If I ordered pizza for delivery and paid online I wouldn't leave the tip on CC receipt unless I was low on cash or only had 20s and driver said he has no change..

Huh? No mention at all of the wear and tear on the vehicle used to deliver - plus the cost of gas (have you repaired a car lately $). What? You guys think the food arrives via magic carpet ride?! Door Dash, Grub Hub and Uber Eats are SCAMS. Losing propositions, no two ways about it. Door Dash advertises 20 an hour on Craigslist but that is bull and I can prove it. They are inches away from class action lawsuits that some smart lawyer would be wise to take up. I have all the proof you need lawyer. Hit me up 315.663.4123 anytime.

Listen, if you have never did this type of work his 1.50 tip was on top of whatever they paid for the order. NY a pack Newport cigarettes are 20 dollars plus so the meal they paid for had to make him money. If not move from your tiny home you pay more then 1500 a month.

Here's the thing people aren't looking at: people who work for places like Doordash, Instacart, Lyft, and other gig jobs are working for them why? Because they're either between jobs OR they have no skills or both. Frequently they don't have a real bank account and are living a 'temporary' life. I've seen some great kids doing this as a gig to get through school or whatever. But many of them just can't get work in any other way. No one wants to admit that large portions of our population are just dumb. Why are they dumb? Because they didn't pay attention in school or weren't lucky enough to get a mentor or weren't observant enough to notice what set their successful peers apart. I did my time in the poverty cycle, but I got out. First generation middle class here. It can be done but not if you sneer at doing intelligent things like getting married before you have children, finishing high school, having a real bank account, learning basic social skills and practicing SELF CONTROL.

Well... Idk I don't really feel bad for them. I have a decent paying retail job it's obviously not the best pay but I'm living off of it and am an ex addict who didn't work the whole 8 years I was in active addiction. And before that I was a teenager and only had a few fast food jobs. When I got sober I got me a bank account (it's free) I had to figure out how to re-attain all my documents and I got a real entry level job. And that's with no recent employment history and some charges on my record... I'm not saying all that was just easy and I did it in the same day or anything BUT getting the actual job was EASY. They can get real jobs they just aren't trying because it's easier to make a profile on your phone and get an instant door dash job. They have transportation so if they don't like delivering for these services they do not need to be doing them.

I heard you can make $20/ hour so i tried dashing. Waitresses were always angry/ mean to me because they are not getting tipped on takeout orders. Including tips I made an average of $5 an hour. I put 350 miles on my car in 3 days. The delivery that made me quit; It was Friday night. A woman ordered a pizza. I had to wait 50 minutes for it to cook. The woman called and complained 3x it was taking too long. I kept explaining to my supervisor, the pizza is in the oven. Her house had no lights on. The driveway was on a side street. She called me screaming "you keep driving past my house! Go down the side street" I apologized saying your house isn't visible from the main road where your address is. She snatched the pizza saying "you're late" She left me a bad review and complained about me to my supervisor. I hope all the dashers spit and snot rocket on her food.

If he's gonna argue that it's not his fault that DoorDash doesn't pay their drivers better, then he shouldn't support them and instead go get his own damn food. He's part of the problem. So is the driver. If the driver doesn't like the company and wants to quit, don't take it out on the customer. All parties involved are assholes trying to put the blame on someone else. DoorDash = assholes. Restaurant = assholes. Driver = a*****e. Customer = a*****e. Pay people a living wage, take responsibility for your part, and treat each other better.

I am a doordash delivery driver myself I've had my fair share of frustrations. I'm on the fence about how things especially between customer and driver's perspectives are. My honest opinion here and this is just my opinion no one no one has to like it or dislike it so please don't bash my opinion this is just something I've observed as the delivery driver. Doordash only pays $2.25 for base pay and occasionally a dollar or two for extra. Customers expect too much of us I lost my tip due to the restaurant not including a straw which I couldn't open the bag to verify because it was sealed. So I just carry a bunch of straws and add it in with the order if I have a drink to solve that issue cuz I lost my tip that one time because of it. I only accept orders minimum $4.75. Most the time it's $5 minimum that I accept but I will accept 4.$75 as the absolute minimum. I ignore orders lower so it says that I missed a delivery opportunity so I don't get my ratings dinged.

This job sounds like it's paying you a lot less than non-gig jobs. You're actually spending money on things because of how unreliable the pay is. Why not just leave it for a minimum wage job? It's not better pay, but at least they have to go through basic labor standards

All y'all say you "know" jobs take advantage of employees and tipping culture is out of hand but defend the person tipping $1.50 knowing you can't buy a candy bar for that much less gas food or ANYTHING else. Remember "be the solution not the problem"??? This guy was part of the problem. Vote and lobby for better wages and healthcare and tip at least $5 minimally. Every American job needs to be held to the same livable standards so a-holes can quit saying "find a better job". Smmfh
