Doordasher yells at customer that left 25% tip

[Anonymous]

Wonder what this guy's story is? Is he a laid-off person who's trying to make ends meet? Probably spoke out of frustration. He shouldn't have taken this run if he didn't think $5 was worth his time.

Wonder what Doordash's pay structure is? Do they pay these delivery people anything, or is the tip their pay? If that's the case, Doordash wouldn't make sense in any location other than an urban setting, because you can make a few runs an hour in an urban setting.

I'm not sure I approve of the person posting this on social media so that he could get identified. Internet mobs are no joke. I'm sure that person has run their mouth off at some point, because everyone has. If they had a problem with his comment, they should have said something insulting in the moment and called it a day.

I've had plenty of people say stuff like this over the course of my lifetime. This is low grade sh*t. Embarrasing and humiliating him publicly, and causing him to lose his job is over the top, and worse than his off-the-cuff comment. Plus, internet mobs spilling over into real life are no joke.

How much does DoorDash pay them?

And he's been fired, so what kinda job will he be able to get now. A little self-reflection is in order, but somehow I don't think that's his forte.

Not much, less than minimum wage, it depends on the order and distance. I can't believe people don't tip. My college age son thought he'd door dash during summer breaks, but the pay is so terrible that it's better to go find a minimum wage position.

I have a question about these companies. I actually don’t use door dash but I use Uber eats a lot and I’ve noticed that the person/vehicle delivering the food doesn’t match what the app says a lot of the time. I don’t care but I’m curious why. Do they get paid more for working more hours, so it makes sense to share an account? Because presumably two cars can’t deliver on the same account at the same time?

My daughter did it a bit. She found people with difficult deliveries often did not tip well. At $4 dollar a gallon gas the small deliveries made zero sense as she got an extremely extremely small percentage of cost of items (s) and folks tip off cost of item. She lose money on these type of deliveries. Plus $5 in app is not $5 dollar tip. It has a top of payroll taxes and fees withheld.

My daughter best tip was a very large delivery to outer Potomac she had to bring sister to help. On top of fee and tip in app, given it was like 95 degrees out, they let them use bathroom, two bottles cold water and a $50 dollar cash tip she was told to gas us and go get lunch with sister in village with cash. They got Chipotle and gas. It was like a $4 million dollar house and a $500 dollar order.

That’s how it is done

You no tippers are awful. I mean, that's why these people take these jobs. You really suck. In this case you f-ing tip!

I always tip… like this person, I would’ve thought a $5 tip is perfectly acceptable (not generous, but not terrible).

The delivery guy was out of line and now he’s suffering the consequences.

I feel like this story is fake.

I don't spend $500 on lunch so there's that.

I gave a 20% cash tip at a manicure once and the manicurist stared at it and said incredulously, “that’s it?”

I was so embarrassed that I handed over more cash and realized later she probably does that every time to see how much more she can get.

The dasher’s behavior is clearly in the wrong regardless of the tip. There’s no controversy or story here, it’s just someone behaving badly and losing their job.

Now if this happened on a plane, I would watch it ten times.

Can I just say I love you and I found this extraordinarily funny?

Agree, it could have been spicier, but working with what we have

Illegals, felons, sharing to get more hours.
