I’m curious as to why we should tip drivers? 0 customer interaction. You drop the package on the porch and go on your way… it only exacerbates tipping culture

Just don't order delivery if you don't want to tip.

i deliver a regulated substance. i dont just drop it off. also, if youre ordering food, meet your driver at the damn door. no one should be so lazy that they cant walk 20ft to get their 3 piece nuggets

Just so you know, several of the food delivery apps specifically advise you not to meet the driver unless you have to.

so they can keep their drivers on a constant go go go. not safe.

Women don’t want to meet a strange man by themselves in their jammies at night. If my directions are leave them at the door, please do it. The ones who call me and insist on me coming down are creepy AF

lol its literally a hand off….nothing creepy or dangerous about it. anyway in my delivery line of work if you dont come down and sign off/pay, we cancel your order per regulation

Welp we aren’t talking about alcohol, you said chicken nuggets. And you don’t get to decide what’s safe or creepy for a woman. Opening her front door while alone for a strange man is 100% dangerous, and if she isn’t required to for food it’s bizarre for you to get on a high horse about doing so

Have you not worked delivery very long? Bevause I delivered food on/off for years in grad school, and most people will not answer the door. That's the status quo. Now i don't answer the door either, I just get my food from the porch. The delivery fee is a premium to avoid the akwardness of dealing with the restaurant, why would people want the added annoyance of talking to a delivery driver?

“here is your food.” “thank you, hope you have a great day.” “thank you! you as well.” thats too awkward for you?

You can do this from a distance. When I had COVID I at least opened the door as the driver got to the bottom of the stairs to say thanks.

If you can’t afford tipping, I would suggest buying ramen in bulk and not ordering delivery.

It’s not “culture” it’s people’s livihoods. You tip because a service was performed.

Yeah who the fuck tips delivery drivers?? I've never even heard of this. Do these people just have a pile of dollar bills sitting by their door for when they get a package?
