discussion My freind only tips 1 dollar on any doordash order...

[Breathe On Moi]

I literally never ever ever order delivery, I learned my lesson through the pandemic, literally $25 for a sandwich and expect to tip on top? what the **** 

 

 

I’ll tip when I do pick up if it’s somewhere I pick up from often and I know the people by now and the food is great.

In my country we don’t tip. 
companies are supposed to pay their workers. 

Do you live in the third world?

Honestly it’s been in my experience that those who don’t tip, don’t have the money to. Get a better income. Those with decent jobs have no problem tipping properly 

[Guest]

I think the elephant in the room is, it depends on the country and culture. In the United States, most delivery drivers and servers make WAY below an acceptable minimum

hourly rate, and depend on tips.
 

On the other hand, if we were in European country, tipping wouldn’t be a necessity and could even be seen as offensive.
 

With that said, I live in the United States, and tip minimum 20%, whether I eat in or eat out. If I’m in Mexico, I do the same there.

Until the government steps in and ensures delivery delivers pay and not service gig pay (like NY and CA) then you should tip for the service you receive. 

 

Would you go to the restaurant and pick your own order up for $2.50? No? Because you're ordering delivery...be serious.

Girl, European countries don't tip for pickup either. This is very much an American thing.

I agree with the common consensus here. If you don’t want to shell out for a tip, don’t order delivery. Nobody should be expected to tip on a pick-up order

This, on both counts. I almost never do delivery anymore because after fees and tip the cost comes out to be unreasonably high, but I still do at least 20% on those rare occasions. The delivery drivers make next to nothing without tips.

[Johnny Jacobs]

I always tip the delivery guy.. I mean i dont get it either but we do that here so.. 

 

Takeaway tho.. No. Thats stupid. 

What's next? Tipping cashiers? 

[Vespertine]

Wow lots of cheapskates in this thread who should not be ordering via DoorDash! Get your lazy cheap asses out of the house and pick things up yourself if you’re not going to tip. 

[Mr. Mendes]

Y'all can say whatever you want but yes it is the responsibility of the employer to pay their employee fairly but they don't so if you don't tip, then that worker just finishes their shift with little money to take home. You not tipping won't inspire the employer to pay more, they just say "maybe tomorrow will be better for you" and send you on your way. If you can't afford to tip or aren't willing, then cook at home. Your little protest doesn't hurt the business, it hurts the worker. You can't claim to care about them not getting paid enough in one moment and then withhold a tip in the next.

No seriously what’s the consensus on these? I hate it when I order a coffee at my local coffee shop and the barista says “it’s just going to ask you a few questions” and it’s a tip thing on the iPad  

imo do what you want. Those employees probably aren’t making enough money but who is really. Almost all cashiers and baristas and the like at least make an hourly wage so they’re not quite as dependent upon tips as waiters or delivery drivers.

 

When I was a barista and we had the swivel iPad I would usually judge people who didn’t tip (especially when they were regular customers) but eventually  I’d just move on to the next customer and forget about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Dula Peep]

$1 is just insulting unless it’s for coffee 

[James_Joint]

For pick up orders I might tip $1 

 

for delivery I’ll tip 3-5 dollars but never more than $5 

[niiall]

The fact that people can hold these two beliefs at the same time and broadcast them 

 

1. "It's up to the employer to pay their employees a fair wage"

2. "Why should I tip them they're barely doing any work at all"

 

Going from complaining about the evils of capitalism to sounding like Jeff Bezos. A cheap mess

I’m sorry i don’t agree. The driver is doing YOU a huge favor doing the driving for YOU so you can eat at a convenience. 
 

I understand everyone isn’t rich but you don’t get to use the platform then not tip. It’s disgusting. 
 

If you can’t afford to tip well/correctly then stop being lazy & go get the food yourself. 
 

For some people this is a force living under unfortunate circumstances & you wouldn’t want someone doing that to you or a love one in a desperate attempt of making Living. 
 

Imagine not tipping the person who used their gas to bring you food because you were lazy. 
 

1$??? Joke!!!! 
 

The app should tell the drivers BEFORE picking up the food on how much the person tips so they can decide if they want to do it!

I agree with this. I always tip. I even tip on pick up orders because people are laboring hard to make the food and I’m sure it’s a mundane job for them. They’re people who are just trying to make ends meet with low wages. These types of jobs can also be bottom of the barrel for some people. If I have the means and can make someone’s day better by tipping, absolutely I would. 

[Attitude]

I don't tip for pickup, but I definitely tip for delivery. Sometimes your food will just sit there because no one wants to deliver an order with no tip. I also tip depending on the distance from my house. 

[May]

tipping culture is out of control

 

im assuming y’all are from america 

 

ive tipped once or twice in my life and it’s been to uber drivers while ive been drunk

 

this is why i could never live in america cos why are y’all directly paying other people’s employees wages ??  it makes absolutely zero sense

[SapphireSky]

The UK is a **** hole but I'm glad tipping is not a thing here

Edited March 21, 2023 by SapphireSky

[GagaTomFord]

it SHOULD be up to these companies to pay them fairly but the fact is they don't. Refusing to tip 15% in the U.S. just means you're broke and should be picking it up yourself.

 

companies don't pay them fairly while restaurants raise their food prices specifically for these services because they know people will pay for it either way and yet people are mad at the employees?

 

 

 

[Hephaestus]

I very rarely tip. I'm already paying for the service and delivery, I don't feel like I should also pay for their employees. That's something the company should take care of to be honest.

You pay for the delivery. He's not doing you any favor

[Miracle]

That's more than enough. The DoorDash guy is being paid for that service and you cannot make the customer pay for the shitty work laws there is in X country (in this case USA)
