I'm in the same boat, why would I not leave it up to the independent contractor to determine how much taxes they should pay. Plus services like Uber Eats take a two figure percentage of everything to begin with.

You are not the norm, but the exception. Cash is increasingly rare. People often frame scenarios around their own life and expectations, leading to subjective evaluations and logical misgivings.

I had a pizza delivered and the driver knocked and was getting in his car when I chased him down for a tip. I felt a bit ridiculous, was I dumb for tipping on top of delivery fee?

I only get pizza delivered because food delivery is confusing and complicated.

Maybe a smaller tip when there is a delivery fee, IDK. The delivery fee was just under 5 dollars. I tipped $4 for a $15 dollar pizza. It was fast, convenient, and very good.

The last time I picked up a pizza I was told how their work had doubled but not their pay. SMH

The driver doesn’t get the delivery fee, at all. None of it. They just use it to further subsidize paying drivers the lower than minimum wage base pay they give them. Meaning it benefits the company, not the guy who is destroying his car bringing pizza to your door in any weather.

Lol, I've gone outside in PJs after a Driver who I'd forgotten to tip bc we had such a great conversation that he was gonna be late. Not a pizza order, obviously, they cant chat. I never forget them. More like grocery delivery Drivers. But forced tips on apps. Nope. I tip well for good service even if it's gotta be done thru the app. Uber drivers are a whole other issue.

I'm a cash tipper. No app is going g to tell me how to spend my money. I tip well when I can, almost always a healthy, tya, cash tip. Unless the Driver refuses to follow simple instructions, like don't leave food on the deck bc the rats, or other humans will get to it first, ants get into everything, inclement weather destroys paper/cardboard. Most drivers are fantastic and kind, I keep special money set aside, ready for those people. I also gift the mail carrier and the extra special UPS drivers. But AH with attitude who ruin stuff, no.

sgong33 t1_j2dcqbg wrote

Unfortunately with theses apps, drivers are incentivized by seeing the tip before they accept the order. They don’t know that you’re going to tip cash and prob assume it’s a no tip order. Those orders tend to sit in the restaurant longer as drivers will pass on that pickup in order to take a tipped order. I learned this this hard way.

Seriously. OP is completely delusional. "The bad service will continue until tipping improves?" Fuck that, I'll be going literally anywhere else that'll actually deliver what I order without sabotage.

And it's not just delivering cold food, either. OP flippantly gloats about spitting in people's food. During a pandemic.

Serious question. Does anybody know who OP drives for, so we can report them for being a sentient health code violation? My dad is sick with cancer, so immunocompromised. He orders delivery sometimes. If I found out that OP had spit in his food for any reason, there would exist no walls on this earth that would protect OP from my wrath.

Tipping, or rather, the need to tip, is the problem. Businesses need to be held to the standard of paying employees a living wage and not make customers pick up the tab.

It’s impossible to beat the wage tipped workers wake off of tips tbh otherwise a shitty serving/bartending/delivery job would start at $25/hr and most would honestly probably be at $40-50hr, margins in the foodservice business are relatively low compared to many other industries so the customer gets the short end of the stick

But, you're only hurting the delivery drivers here.

A popular restaurant in our area went to no tip, but had to slightly increase prices to compensate. It did not go well. They had to go back to tipping to not close and lost a lot of regular guests.

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.

Edible doesn't mean tasty. Sometimes it's a pile of mush that you can only choke down enough to quell stomach rumbling. Most of it goes to compost, which isn't the best use of resources.

Good, then you'll get rid of non-tippers and people who tip in cash after verifying their food wasn't fucking destroyed.

But what about the other side of the coin? Drivers who are terrible and fuck up food regardless of the tip.

So the perfect situation in your eyes is everyone should tip, and tip well, before knowing if their food will arrive intact and x% of deliveries will be mangled and the drivers will be rewarded for it.

I wonder what equilibrium this will lead to in terms of percentage of food delivered in good condition when word gets out that you don't have to even do the bare minimum to get awesome pay.

Your customers are not part of some shadowy cabal of non-tippers. They are all individuals. Punishing later orders for the actions of earlier orders just ruins everyone's day. You are providing deliberately bad service because nobody tips you, which means that nobody will tip you for your bad service. Customers get bad food, you get no tips, everyone loses.

Delivery 1, Alice orders a sandwich, doesn't tip. Delivery 2, Bob orders a burrito, also doesn't tip. Now you're mad, and start delivering cold food. Delivery 3, Cathy orders chow mein, would have tipped if it hadn't arrived cold. Deliveries 4-? arrive cold. Nobody tips for cold food, so now you're even angrier. As are the customers.

Literally nobody wins. Hell, you're probably hurting the restaurants you deliver from because cold food sucks.

You're the asshole here, not them. I have to get delivery for groceries and such because I can't drive for medical reasons. Sometimes I'm really pressed on cash and can't afford more than 10 cents for the tip. You don't know the situation some people live in, and it's childish to go out of your way to lessen the quality of the goods they paid for. Quite frankly, I'd refuse to tip for that behavior alone.

This isn't a LPT, this is your personal vent.

I never tip well until after I've received my food in good condition. I don't use Doordash because they have shitty drivers and don't let you change your tip after the delivery.

People aren't stiffing you because they're broke, they're stiffing you because they've been burned by drivers like you.

People like you are why I don’t use UberEats/DoorDash lol. Tip preemptively and get a fucked up order. Tip post-delivery and the driver already thinks they ain’t getting shit, so you get subpar service.

No one is forcing you to work a job you hate when you’re an at will worker, you can quit at any time.

If there wasn’t a need for delivery you’d be out of a job quickly because there’s no reason for you to get paid to deliver air.

Instead of focusing on the lack of tips, be grateful when you do get it and focus on transitioning from this shitty job to one you like or better yet start a business where you make the rules and demand your worth 👍🏿

My work will periodically give us gift certificates to Uber Eats/DoorDash/GrubHub, and every single time I tell my wife “no I’ll make the order on the app and go pick it up myself,” and people like you are exactly the reason why.

And yes, I do leave them at least 20% tip because I’ve worked in food service, but the way you handle little annoyances makes me worry for you when you have big time problems down the road in life. Sort yourself out and grow up.

I did 200 deliveries on doordash and received tips only 5 times. It's bad, but tips are optional and I knew that going in. If all low tippers stopped ordering, you'd be out of the job. I know, it sucks but the apps markup menu items already and milk all the service fees while you blame the customers.

Holy fucking shit this whole thread makes me happy about tipping culture where I live. Here tipping is a "thanks" for a job well done, not something mandatory and expected even before service. OP sounds like other peoples food temperature is the only thing he has control of in his life.

Lol but it's not really funny-funny. I'm a big tipper depending upon which type of service I'm using. Food Delivery Drivers of any kind should be tipped well.

Buddy... There's a greater chance you'll be tipped if they get their food hot

If you're not going to do your job without getting extras then you're probably not emotionally intelligent enough to hold a better paying position. I'd recommend a hard change to your mentality or you're going to be on a long shitty ride.

This really depends on your location. Tipping isn’t necessary in some countries.
