Bags are sealed and you can see exactly who delivered it. And during a pandemic? I wish somebody would :russ:

Don't wanna mess with ya mental but I've done all services except ubereats and I'd say 2/3 places don't seal shyt and the places that do, mostly use basic stickers. There's mad times I read instructions and see they want some type of sauce that isn't in the bag or some additional shyt, I ask for the sauce after receiving the order, pull off, pull over carefully "unseal" the sticker open the bag, throw the extra shyt in, reseal the bag then move to deliver.

I would never touch someone else's food, because respect is a reciprocal (as moms would always say). On top of that I'm no baller but I can afford to get my own damn fast food. I will say there are 0-15% who will flat out steal orders.

Just understand drivers on every app but Postmates can see whether or not you tip or not, before they accept, if you don't the pay for the delivery will be low and most drivers with intelligence/options will decline that shyt, so you're food will take longer to get there, further more the people who do take will care less about being careful while carrying it from restaurant to car/car to crib.

Sidenote: I don't get why y'all shortchange people who have your name and address. Seems shortsided imo
I just don’t like when some drivers even if you do tip, they want even more money or they won’t even deliver your shyt.

Some drivers want like $10+ tips. So I gotta pay a high tip, plus a service fee, plus delivery fee, plus tax.

That shyt is like $15-$20 extra.

That’s some greedy bullshyt IMO.

See I'm an efficiency, pragmatic guy I'm tryna be an account so it's pretty easy to tell if 15% has been put in if it's not mad far I'll take it. The delivery game comes down to efficiency. In an 8 hour shift I'm not tryna drive more than 80 miles total. So I regularly decline orders that are too far/time consuming regardless of pay. No point in going 15 mis for $18 (30-45 min roundtrip start to finish) when I could get 2-3 orders at $7 each that are only 3-6 mi. If you live far from a restaurant no cap you shouldn't bother unless you going to tip out the ass like $10+

The tipping is moreso a courtesy because the gas usually comes out of the driver's pockets + all hazards that come with driving (accidents, shytty neighborhoods, etc.)

You shouldn't have to tip...yet, you want someone to bring you your food, while they have to go through the aforementioned things, AND pay for gas?

:mjlol:

Nah, fam:pachaha:. You're gonna have to break some bread for that in America.

Yeah, it hasn’t happened that much, but I usually go by what the app shows me. I pick the amount that they feel they should be tipped and do it that way.

:manny::manny:

How much do you make from it btw? Is it good enough for a decent reliable income?

I used to drive for Uber eats, and I know how they get paid, so I always tip.

The whole model is pretty flawed though. The delivery companies are barely making a profit. The restaurants are barely making a profit off of delivery orders, and the drivers are getting paid only a little bit over minimum wage.
Without the tips, the drivers make almost nothing.
