Reply to comment by Wildwilly54 in i deliver full time on all 3 apps, doordash, grubhub, & uber eats i can answer any questions you below by [deleted]

great, great question. i’d love to publicize this. lol.

liberty towers in downtown jc... 100 warren st… it’s mostly always a dollar tip.

all of river drive downtown jc, all the way up to park lane south / north…this 180 building (beach at newport) always the worst with tips.

all of the beacon buildings. 🗑️🚮 also impossible to find an apartment #

journal square’s a hit or miss.

west side and bergen-lafayette are also hit or miss but usually not worth the effort for the trip because there are no restaurants out there.

bayonne or anywhere near bayonne / ocean ave / garfield…never been never going lol i’d rather miss my bills than make a trip down there.

Which buildings are best tippers?

all the brownstones in hamilton park and hoboken, they tend to tip more post-delivery if everything goes well always and i appreciate the flight of stairs every now and then, good cardio.

my people in the heights that i feel like don't get appreciated. they always tip well for the distance and they're very sweet folks.

i love delivering to the condos by mana contemporary, little india usually gives me a delivery back to downtown or hoboken

communipaw and bergen hill tip well on occasion. i've had customers offer me water in the summertime and have received cash tips

weehawken, right after the bridge (where i grew up) solid people with solid, considerable tips.

and obviously downtown JC. but the elevators KILL me on time.

Haha thanks. I lived in liberty towers for a very short time. I’m not shocked at all.

All this will go away if the app will just charge a set dollar number based on distance ($5, $10,$15,$20 etc) without any expectation of a tip. But of course that will make things too easy for everyone involved.

They already do charge by distance, the tip is extra and optional

Increase the fee and remove the option to even tip. Pay higher salaries to deliverers. Customer is also happy because there is no ambiguity. Everybody wins.

it'd become too restrictive for the drivers. too many deactivations likely. or too low of a pay against the risk factors. nobody would do this job. lol

the apps would likely run out of money.

The tip isn't optional, because riders can't make a living wage without it. Change that, and remove the tip entirely. Cash still exists, if you gotta.

No gun to anybody’s head. Find another job ..oh wait, they got no skills.

I’m all for increasing wages but this tip nonsense and entitlement and guilting drives me up the wall. Tips have and always will, by definition, be optional.

Dude, if you can’t afford to tip, you can’t afford a luxury service. You aren’t entitled to someone else’s free labor. Go get take out if you can’t spend a few extra dollars on tip.

heeyyyyyy t1_iyeslic wrote

Absolutely, and I don't feel entitled to get the service (or "free labor" as you call it, which btw is $20 for a sandwich and bag of chips). Drivers have a choice, right? You see the total trip amount before accepting an order, don't accept it if your standards are too high and you don't need the money that bad. No pressure.

i sincerely agree...you should pick up your food or dine in lmaoooo cheers!

Let me decide what I want to do :) Just as you can decide to only delivery orders above your tip threshold - I think that's fair.

Most of the times, the drivers deliver at wrong apartment. Have seen this happen multiple times with multiple people. Maybe that’s the reason for not tipping?

haha that's happened to me a few times when i first started. there's a lot of new drivers now that the word's out. the regent buildings were tricky for me.
