No I don’t. I live in California so we pay $9-11 in fees on a $20 order, because we also pay for the drivers to have benefits. I’m not tipping you when I’m helping pay your health insurance. I don’t even get health insurance through work!

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

10% and bathroom access is not impressive when there are two delivery people, sorry. They should have tipped 100 minimum on a 500 order.

I was recently postpartum and begrudgingly ordered a couple of DD/Uber Eats meals. The fees charged are absolutely outrageous: one meal whose ticket price was $50 became an $80 dollar meal after the service fee and the delivery fee, plus tax and tip.

Just get your own food or get delivery from restaurants with their own drivers. Stop enriching tech bros at the expense of these drivers - who are not getting paid equitably by their employers - and customers!

That's become hard to find, unfortunately. DoorDash extorts the restaurants, too. they're awful all around.

Infuriating! A lot of tech disruption was just creating new multinational middlemen to extract gobs of cash from healthy, local industries.

Besides, he did get a tip. A 20% tip. He just wanted more.

California again - I feel like tipping here is different because our waiters and dashers aren’t making $2/hr because we have rules about minimum wage being over $15 across the board. We pay extra fees for benefits and gas! If you’re charging $9-11 in fees on a $20 order, really, how much tip do you expect??

I’m a nanny in school, who barely makes above minimum wage. My job is 1000000x harder than door dashing. I rarely use this service but when I do, no tip, because no one tips me for just doing my job. Ridiculous!

This is stupid. You work a job that doesn't depend on tips, and therefore make above minimum wage. They work a tipped job, and make below minimum wage. The fact that you find your job difficult doesn't mean other people don't deserve to be tipped. Study hard because you need some kind of logic foundation.

% tip makes no sense.

It's the exact same amount of work regardless of how much or expensive food is in the bag.

1) no one is forcing them to do the job.

2) also, no one is forcing you to order.

I tip on delivery service because I view it as luxury and a super convenience, but I would have been annoyed if someone turned his nose up at a 20% tip.

I'm sure you expect a bonus each year.

If you use the service you should tip. Cheap ass.

Seems like $5 might just cover the Door Dash driver's cost of gas.

Agree. They should’ve tipped $100. This post is sad that you and your daughter both thought 10% was a great tip. It wasn’t. The outer Potomac people were very cheap.

There are no tipped *jobs* that make below win wage. There are minimum wage jobs where the first $X/hr in tips go to the owner.

In the case of (dubiously classified) independent contractors, the service provider accepts or declines a bid for the work.

Then he shouldn’t have accepted such a small order!

NP. the OP said the $50 was on top of the tip in the app. They weren't cheap at all. I bet they tip better than you.
