Really? But it's OK for you to be rude. Got It.

Exactly. People say some really cruel stuff, inadvertently, trying to fix it.

Oh God do I hate it when someone tries to fix it by making suggestions.

Nothing. Just listen.

I'm a 68 yo non dude. I say it as I see it. Ease up, bruh

I'm also disabled and knock everything over or drop things. In a 4 story home, it gets old cleaning constantly. I'll join you on the limb and guess that the oven is older than you are. So, after setting the microwave on fire, then set the oven on fire with some good, old ,home cookin...I gave up.

I don't. Sorry if this offends you.

I wasn't "generalizing everything," but I've been all over the world, and it's rare that a tip is considered a rude gesture. In some countries, they dread seeing American guests bc we're considered loud, demanding, complainers, and terrible tippers.

I'm a $ten-er +. The lady across the street- $20+ no matter what.

Yup. It sure ain't the late '60s anymore. And it gets worse as you get older. I'm just outside City proper and anything goes, no rules, no etiquette, no more hanging out with neighbors. Even the cops don't gas. (PS Never buy a condo. there are no laws that protect owners).

Ew, Drivers spit on food? Well that's it for me. Nuking frozen food or geabbingv salads from a bag or box using grocery delivery. Once upon a time I could move around, had a car bought my own groceries and loved to cook. Then everything turned upside down not long after, COVID hit. God, it never occurred to me that someone would spit on my food bc the last delivery went wrong.

It's great when you have an oven that works.

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.

💯

You've never traveled out of the States. In JA they want a tip for saying hello.. But no matter which country you're visiting, every hotel guest tips the bellhop and the cleaning person. It's a kind of Pay It Forward, sometimes. The more you choke hold onto your money the less of it will come your way.

Ha! Too Tru. 💯 on your side. Stupid Liberal that I am.

I won't use services that charge absurd fees. I'd rather go without than go broke.

Exactly. Fees are corporate profit, period.

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.

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.

Please, if possible, move on, find new, better, people who will earn your friendship, not abuse it. You deserve better.
