Tons of people don’t tip Dashers or Shoppers

[Anonymous]

I watched my GrubHub driver the other day pick up my meal and proceed to drive to several other stops for the next hour. U wish I could’ve revoked my tip at that point. How is that okay?

Same thing with grocery orders on Instacart. The ones not being picked up have no tip included. There are about 20 this morning from around my area.

So you non-tuppers who claim to get your food or groceries just fine, just imagine how much faster your food would come if you either tipped or got up and picked it up or shopped for yourself!

In my area outside of Atlanta, DD is offering $4.50 in peak pay on top of their base as there are not enough drivers. Even with that peak pay, I still ignore any order that does not include a tip. As an IC, I am not required to pick up any order

Someone else with ALWAYS pick up the order. There is no barrier to entry to this profession. Even felons will work under another person's name to deliver.

And you are delusional if you think those who don’t tip are always receiving hot food.

I wish UE and DD let us rate customers like Uber drivers can rate passengers.

Seriously hope your order sits in the incoming box and is not selected by anyone, ever.

I live in a big city and always get my food on time. Lots of people don’t tip. I order food and groceries weekly. Deal with it.

Because who knows who gets the delivery fee. The worker counts on the tip to make the $20-$25 an hour. Please stop ordering things. They have enough work without your cheap ass.

If you want $20-25 an hour, get a job that pays $20-25/hr. It’s not my job to supplement your income.

You’re a liar. I have never once tipped and have been ordering several times weekly for years on door dash, Uber eats, instacart, Walmart+ etc. always get my deliveries in a timely way.

Don’t blame the customers for not picking a random number to subsidize the predatory practices of multi billion dollar companies. Blame the companies for not paying you more. If enough of you weren’t willing to take the pay, theyd raise the hourly rate. The end customer shouldn’t be bailing out these large companies by making it work for their employees.

Uber can raise their prices, they can pay more, they can take less profit. They have all the options.

You’re blaming the customer who has to decide whether to save more for their kids or retirement or pay more when prices have already gone up a lot.

Get over it.

Yes your sample size of one is valid!

Not tipping on a luxury service like food delivery feels crass to me.

Just like going out to eat, if you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to go out to eat.

I had a staff member once who stiffed these people. He said they get paid why do they need extra cash for what they are already paid for?

I replied so you are saying you don’t want your annual bonus? You already got paid so why is a bonus needed?

He was not amused.

Bingo.

Prior to DD and UE there was a company locally called Takeout Taxi. Not sure if anyone remembers them but I would order from the all the time. I would take like an hour and the food was almost always cold but you only tipped a couple bucks.

I don’t understand tipping a percent of the total. It doesn’t take additional effort to deliver a 20 dollar cheeeeburger than a 10 dollar cheeseburger and there’s no additional level of service/experience.

I get it, our social safety net sucks, you need more money. Individuals aren’t charities when engaged in business transactions. Look elsewhere.

This whole thread has convinced me to use door dash less than I already do. I prefer to get my own food on rare takeout days because of the fees and the delivery time, but I used doordash three times in the past year. I tipped a lot partially because I rarely used it. But now I know what a crap company door dash is and how angry and delusional some of the dashers are.

Oh yeah, they were kept afloat by law firm associates.
