Reply to comment by Any-Organization3106 in [LPT] if you're too broke to tip you're too broke for delivery. You never know what number stiff you will be for that driver... I am on my 10th stiff out of 11 deliveries today. All future stiffs for the day will have their food sitting in front of my AC the whole drive. by productoffallout

I think they’re trying to say if you can’t leave a tip don’t do delivery. Like when you go to a restaurant and don’t tip the waiter. I’ve seen people write “Too broke to tip, sorry!” Or “Single parent, sorry!” On HUGE bills. If you can afford the food, give them a tip.

Honestly, if you were poor, why would you ever order delivered takeout food? I see that as a once in a while luxury, and I'm solidly middle class. And I sure as hell make sure I can tip when I decide to treat myself. I've been a contract delivery driver before, and you cannot live without the tips. It's baked into your compensation.

Order carry out then. Or don't order out if you're poor. If you're poor, your money will go a lot further at a grocery store.
