Reply to comment by its_boVice in MFs want me to go to Ridgewood for $4 😭 by munchingzia

This is so common. I work at a hospital and we order coffees for the unit all the time. People who are working can’t really leave unless it’s their break.

Yep and I'm not spending my break picking up coffee for everyone. Our facility is paid break so we have to answer calls and shit during break too.

I get a paid break and you know what I do? Take a nap. If you have to answer calls on your break, it’s not a break

I’m driving to work at 6am, I don’t want to allocate any morning minutes to coffee pick up. Plus, have you ever carried 10 coffees? It’s a pain in the ass. Also, this isn’t always the first coffee of the day. Sometimes it’s a mid-day treat. We work 12 hours.

but also do you consider the driver that has to carry your 10 coffees? bc i’ve gotten deliveries where i was juggling 13 coffees for an order (almost spilled one ngl) to only get tipped $2

2 dollar tip for even 2 coffees from Starbucks is NOT OK. !!! Never would i tip an Uber eats/Dooddash driver less than $5. But 13 coffees = if each person tipped AROUND $1.50, driver could easily make about $19 - $22 for that 1 delivery..

If ppl can't afford it, they shouldnt order. 🤷‍♀️

If I EVER order coffee from work for multiple ppl - EVERY PERSON is chipping in for a tip...or they don't oder.

I personally never delivered food before but I DID waitress for many years in my 20s.... so have always been a OVER TIPPER because of that.

Probably unpopular opinion, LoL but - Every American should HAVE to work a job in food service or customer service w tips.... for at least a year growing up. Only THEN should u be APPROVED to go out to eat OR order delivery. 😂 That's the only way everyone would truly understand JUST how hard ppl in the industry work (and the bullshit!t they endure.)
