DoorDash warns customers that orders without a tip may take longer to deliver.

[Bubba T]

retail workers arent putting miles on their car and buying gas to deliver to you. they're ringing you up at a cash register

if you don't wanna tip a delivery driver, you should pick it up yourself if you dont wanna tip a waitress, just order it to go

Retail workers don't just ring you up on the register. They assist you with a number of things when you are in the store, that's all a part of customer service.

Retail companies also employ people to deliver items to customer homes. Hell, Amazon contracts people to deliver things to people's homes, but where is the expectation of tipping there?

These delivery apps are a major ripoff. The restaurants charge more than they would if it wasn't on the app, the fees the apps add on are ridiculous, and to top it all off you "have" to pay the driver delivering your food.

This kind of stuff should be an incentive to cook your own food or at least pick up your food.

That is why, it is a MUST to own your car. Living off these apps to deliver food from restaurants and grocery stores is not the wave.

you're overcomplicating this if you don't wanna tip a delivery driver, get in your own car and pick up your own food. any other take is trash

i don't tip delivery drivers, because i don't use those services

Tipping is upfront in DoorDash. All the dashers in your zone will simply decline to pickup your order when they see it’s a lowball offer.

That's even worse...

That's why I don't do door dash. Straight Uber Eats only.

 

[Umoja]

The cost of door dash/uber eats never really bothered me. I say bothered in the sense of understanding why it is what it is.

You are saving time at the cost of someone else's so there must be a fee.

What bothers me is the service. Whenever I have used it, the order has been fukked up and it arrives look warm. It doesn't beat ordering from a local and collecting or, funnily enough, having them deliver.

I don't mind tipping. But I will not tip if they manage to leave my shyt at the wrong apartment door

This isn't about not wanting to tip drivers. I've said from the beginning that the same energy isn't kept consistently between all service industries. You are the one who took it there. People seem to always jump to this because they have no other argument.

 

[The Half-Blood FKA Prince]

The problem with this attitude is that no one keeps the same energy for other service positions that are low paid. Retail employees in particular perform a similar service but are not tipped and not expected to be tipped.

The only reason people care about tips is because of the "poverty" level wages servers and delivery drivers apparently get, but its the same across many other places and people don't care.

Idk how things work elsewhere breh, but waitstaff/busboys/delivery drivers literally make like 2 dollars an hour, at least last i checked back in like early 2000's

Like way below minimum wage, and some of the mom and pop places dont pay their staff at all from what i have been told. Like they literally completely dependent on those tips.

And no, i dont agree with that bullshyt one bit. We should not be obligated to pay their employees when we are already handing them our money. But the only real answer is not to support these businesses either as consumers or laborers until they start doing right by us all.

Until then, as long as they are getting our money, and folks are delivering/serving food for them, they have no reason to derail their own gravy train.

I had that happen to me a few weeks ago where the driver dropped it off at the apartment right above me. I had to do their job and go up there and get it even when it was blatant it was the wrong number.

I don't even mind the note as I always tip, but I more so have an issue with the add tip button even after you already tip as it creates the potential uncomfortable situation that drivers will hold your food unless you tip more than you already have. I've never had it happen to me, but there have been quite a few articles and stories mentioning that exact situation.

If I'm already tipping, there's no reason why that button should exist.

It's the same with Uber eats though, both apps essentially function as bidding systems; you want your food faster? Tip more, if not you may not get or you'll have to wait longer, and that's always been the case.

Telling users that they won't get their food as fast without tipping is a first though(these apps hate to be transparent about anything), but it's something that drivers begged to have happen.

why would the energy be consistent, when the tip is for the gas/wear and tear on their car, that service workers at a counter are not expending?

dont tip em, breh. i dont give a fukk

This isn't quite accurate. While the federal minimum wage for tipped employees is 2.13 an hour, employers have to make up the difference if the total wages with tips is less than the actual federal minimum wage ($7.25)

But here's the thing breh, people go on this facade that we tip people at these places because of the service they provide, however when someone talks about similar places that also provide services to people who are not tipped and not expected to be tipped, the argument always goes back to how these tipped employees are paid. That to me tells that it's not about giving a tip for service, it's about giving money to a person because they are paid like shyt and you feel bad. People aren't completely honest when presented with this, and try to redirect and/or deflect the conversation to the person being an a$$hole who doesn't tip or "just don't go to this place if you don't want to tip". That's all fine and good, but the same attitude isn't kept with other service industries where people are paid low wages is what I am saying about the same energy not being kept. If you want to tip, it should be your discretion regardless whether it is at a restaurant, a fast food place, a department store, a barber shop, or a bank.
