People are assuming you are making enough money at this job because your employer is taking a huge markup. If they are not passing that on to you then that’s a problem between them and you, not a stranger for not knowing and not tipping enough.

Tip culture has gotten so out of hand people are asking for 20% at a 100% self service market. What started as a nice thing to do to support food places during COVID has turned into expected for every single service transaction involving food. Yeah, maybe I’m cheap for not adding on an extra $5 for nothing, but that adds up over every single transaction and I’m not a billionaire. The person who is cheap is your employer- take it up with them. Make them charge a price that fairly covers the cost of labor instead of making everyone else guess and do it for them. Or go work somewhere else where you can be more fairly paid.

Delivery people in the gig economy are not employees. Want a service, pay for it.

Actually that’s not true. In California we voted to make them employees and pay them benefits. Now we have huge service fees. That’s why I don’t tip. I’m already paying for you to get benefits.

I am a DP, in CA also, I think those who voted for it are fools! Now we are all stuck with service fees!

Thanks, OP. I'm going to tip just $2 now so my order is selected over the $0 tippers.

Yeah I’m a dumbass who voted for that, so there’s the tip. On a $50 order, $15 in fees and taxes, and you want 25% on top of that??? Lmaooooooooo no

This makes practically no difference, in my experience.

Truth is, many of these delivery services are just horrible business models.

Exactly. Not my fault you chose to work some place where you feel you aren’t paid enough. Take it up with them. I’m not paying your salary or get a tax deduction for it!

There is a delivery fee which IS YOUR TIP!

What is wrong with you? We get our own food as I would want to risk it. Why don’t you stop being lazy and get your own food.

Tips are part of the cost of getting your food delivered to you so that you have more time to sit on your butt and criticize the people getting your food for you.

There is no law where I live that requires me to recycle. Time to throw away all that plastic!!!

Are they not being delivered because you offered no tip?

No, it gets delivered, it just takes a little longer sometimes.

Thank you! That’s what I meant, yes.

“A little longer” lol. I’ve worked with companies on this space. If you place orders at night an hour or two before restaurants close, deliveries often get canceled. can seek out a $5 credit if you call/chat CS--after you spend 10-15 minutes negotiating with the rep. The 0 to 50 cent tippers are often the same people who pull scams like falsely reporting missing items, so companies don't put any effort into keeping them.

UberEats service is the worst in the business and fees are higher than other companies, which is why they're willing to give up $5 for late drops without a fight.

I haven’t used these services. They seem very exploitative to me.
