DoorDash Driver Reveals How Tipping Affects Delivery Time, Shows McDonald’s Order That Has Been Sitting For An Hour Before Being Picked Up

If you're ordering from a popular restaurant and they're swamped with your order,a few other deliveries, plus a full house of customers inside (or full drive-thru), that's going to contribute to your longer wait. If you're 10 miles away by surface streets with 20 signals between the restaurant and you, that definitely will also.

Till you hire us, we have no job. We are not employees, we are contractors. Go get it yourself you lazy prick

Thank u at least u said it!! Before y’all talk about it’s “their job” do your research! It’s not a job and door dash is not an employer!

Seriously. It's the system we have, simple as that. It sucks but not changing. Only cheap losers complain about tipping. Don't wanna tip? Do it yourself. Then again, if they paid a real wage and got rid of tips, the same people would cry over the higher prices.

Dude ...your a driver....your biased. Duh. For close to $11 dollars just in delivery fees, I've already paid for a service, the idea that I MUST attach another $12 to it upfront by default for a tip regardless of quality of service or else I'm an evil greedy money grubber is shite. It just another example of the super entitled attitude of people today. "It don't matter what kinda job I do, I deserve a $12 tip EVERYTIME." I used the service when my car broke down, now that it's up and running again, I'll never use it again. $19 including tip to have food brought from a McDonald's 4 miles away. And then in top of that get told were all cheapskates who don't tip enough. Again I say, indicative of modern folk: failing to realize there would BE no $8 tip to complain about or job to have if we weren't spending the money WE make at our JOBS (which obviously don't matter, we have it, fork it over!) They wouldn't have ANYTHING to bitch about.

Maybe you should be a smart dumbass and realize that the food you ordered was higher priced on the app than if you go get it yourself. It's not the drivers fault. I'm bringing you your food. You tip your servers when you eat out. I'd at least hope so. But I'm pretty sure ALL of you arguing your point probably look for everything to not have to tip. Go drive your car paying your own insurance and gas and upkeep for $6 to $8 an hour. Anyone who thinks different is just one of the problems we have in our country now a days

It dont have anything to do what we think we deserve or you tipping or not tipping. If that order that pops up on my dash app is a low amount. We will not accept it. That is the beauty of it. The customers like yourself is pissed about it because we dont wont to deliver your food for 2.50. Its not worth our time. I dont accept anything less than 10 dollars. Thats how im able to make 25-45 dollars a hour on the side. If someone accept your order that you did not tip, its probably because dashers like myself denied your delivery a couple of times and the pay increased to 6 dollars or something. By the time dashers like myself declined it a few times, your food more thab likely will be cold. The only person fault is the customer for not making the order appealing to get from jump street. Perfect example is McDonald's lack of staff. Nobody wants to work for a low amount. So McDonalds have been understaffed for quite a long time. If they increase their pay, they will find someone to work

You tip and pay the person that cuts your hair AFTER they already cut your hair. The waitress gets tipped AFTER you finish your meal. The car wash people get tipped AFTER your car is washed. Uber, Lyft, Limo, and Taxi drivers all get tipped AFTER the service is completed. Yet you think you need to be tipped BEFORE you do anything.

If they cut my hair properly lol

Then don't whine when no one uses doordash and they don't get any deliveries. Easy.

It’s funny bcuz ppl are always going to use these apps lol u will continue to have cold food before ppl completely stop using these apps. Also if the food is cold or not accurate it’s not the drivers fault. Most bags are sealed by the time we pick them up. With that said, u pay for us to DELIVER & HANDLE the food AFTER it is already cooked & bagged. You’re paying the driver to DRIVE, which is why it is required sometimes to tip before u get the food. U can’t have it both ways, u can’t want convenience & then not tip & expect express service. Also u can’t blame the driver for long lines & traffic. Some of these “customers” are really cheap spoiled brats. Either be cheap & patient or pick it up yourself.
