I delivered pizza on and off for 10 years between jobs if I got anything more than $3 I was happy bc a lot of the time I got nothing door dash driver is wrong here.
Do. Away. With. Tipping. A company should be paying their workers a living wage – not relying on me as the customer to know what they pay their employees and calculate what my responsibility is as the consumer above and beyond what’s been charged. Tipping should be illegal across the board. It’s just an excuse to pay people poorly and puts unfair stress on the clients.
"always tip as much as you can"? So let me get this straight…Corporate America that is making record profits across the board not only wants to price gouge us all but also expects us to pay THEIR employees? Pay your workers a living wage and end tipping all together. Your profits are NOT my concern.
If the delivery is only $2, then quit… go to school… apply some where else. No one is forcing you to work anywhere.
The idea that I should trip “restaurant workers” as a blanket is crazy. I am not tripping for counter service or take out. Handing me my food doesn’t deserve a tip.
I was in Tokyo and tried giving a tip. The waiter followed me outside to give me my money back. Door dash's policy is that it is okay to respectfully ask for a tip? Lolol
I have a crazy idea, how about we end the tipping culture altogether and demand businesses to pay their employees a decent wage? Tipping has become a ripoff and a scam in the USA.
Im a dasher and inever judge people and how much they tip me based on their house !!!!!! You dont their story, who are you to judge , even though in my opinion $5 tio is actually very generous,some people dont even leave a tip so this dasher had no right to do this
I do delivery. DRIVERS! If you don't like what is in the screen… DON'T TAKE IT! If you DO take an order.. treat it like any other order. Driver should be deactivated. Ive taken an order that paid $3.25 and treated the same as a $25 payout.
A tip is given based on good service, not for doing your job
At what point do high tip expectations make customers decide to do business elsewhere? Let's all try it and see what happens.
In America; tipping is no longer tipping… but an extra charge! Its lost the concept of what tipping truly is
I always tip but it’s out of control.
Legalized begging
Lol I would have laughed at him and told him to get a real job.
What's the deal with tip prompt on self checkout? Is that for real?
15% if your great 5% if you're a karen
I am a tipper and I tip well, but I think it is very tacky and tasteless to ask for a tip. I tip based on the service I receive. I learned this from someone that own a restaurant and had also worked in the business. You base your tip on the service you received. If I catch attitude from a waiter or waitress or anyone servicing me, I will still leave a tip – a penny. I will leave the shiniest penny I can find in my purse. That’s my way of sending that person a message, be that it resonates with them or not.
He Lucky he got a tip PERIOD!
The problem is the driver knew what he was geting paid and how long the drive was before he accepted the order. If its too low then its on the driver and not the customer. SO TO ALL MY DOOR DASH DRIVERS: Stop accepting those $2.00 orders or $5.00 order where you have to drive 20 miles.
Never ask for a tip. 20 years managing a kitchen.
Tipping culture has pushed me to the point where I avoid ordering delivery and avoid going to restaurants as much as possible. 20% feels obligatory at this point.
Let's just start paying people like other countries and do away with tipping.
It's a luxury service that broke ppl use
dude got spoiled by good tips. $5 is pretty decent. he is dumb to actually cursed at the customer.
Yo gig workers are Wilding. People think tips are required there not. I don't tip the fedex guy and he/she does way more work then delivery driver
Tips are to be earned not expected. I am a pretty good tipper. For average service I will give 15-18%. For Good service I will tip between 20-22%. Bad service i will go below 15%. I do not reward poor service with a good tip. Really bad and I will leave a dollar just so they know I didn’t forget but their service was really bad (but that is very rare). If i place a to go order and I go in and pick it up; I do not tip. If the food is brought to me in my vehicle then I do tip. I do not tip in convenience stores, fast food places, etc. While at work I used to order from Jimmy Johns. If my lunch was on-time or early they got 20%. But then JJ’s began charging a delivery fee the are on foot or bikes. So I began to lower my tip. I work in a courthouse and nearly 300 people work in the building. JJ’s was hear 10+ times a day at least with multiple orders. As the news of the delivery fee spread; less and less people ordered from them. One of our regular delivery guys stopped in and asked if we knew why people were not ordering. We told him it was the delivery fee. People didn’t like JJ’s charging a delivery fee then still having to pay a tip. That was raising the price of a sandwich by nearly $7. $4 tip and then $2.89 delivery fee. If a server wants a good tip then have to earn it. 25% tip for simply delivering food….. that’s a great tip. Hope that loser enjoys his new career at McDonald’s…
I refuse to tip at counter for non dine in service.
This is exactly why I STOPPED eating out and ordering delivery.
Now these people are asking for TIPs when I’m picking up my own dry cleaning. Are you effing kidding me?
Sounds like he needs to get another form of employment.
Its a nice job for a 5$ tip
This driver is the epitome of entitlement.
They got that house by saving money, not by giving away their money to grunt workers.
If you don’t want your income to depend on a tip, then get a different job. There’s literally so many jobs where you don’t get tips, and yes, they actually are optional so I don’t even understand why people feel like they’re entitled to be angry about anything. Everybody knows how it works. Tips aren’t mandatory cry about it.
Fire him 😊
