I tip, but I hate the system and wish we would do away with it. Just pay the people a living wage instead of confusing and guilting the customer. And recently, tip jars and software have been showing up in new and random places.

I get that restaurant servers are paid less than minimum wage; is that true for Dashers too?


How hard do you think they would try to deliver your order? Probably they would slack off


Are you tipped at work?


I value my work; delivery jobs are a dime a dozen


Who doesn’t?


I will tell you who. Delivery people. Nannies.
In home care people who take care of old people with bad personalities for a minimum wage


There is a massive shortage of “in home care people.”


Exactly, they don’t care about losing their jobs that’s my point


You could say that about every job.


Not true

+1 Why is the default assumption that people don't want to do their job? Do you tip your doctor or your lawyer too? How do you know they're not slacking off?


Because you value a good job and don’t care for a crappy one


Are you tipped at work?


Yes. That's what the bonus is.

Exactly, so get Doordash to pay the delivery person a decent wage so it's not a "crappy" job. And yes, I understand that means the base cost of the service goes up for all. But that's a fairer system.

OP gets paid $15 an hour. Their complaining that they're not getting tipped enough on top of that. They don't want to waste their time on orders, if they're not getting a premium on top of the service they were already paid fairly to do.

Yeah yeah it’s so easy they will just go and ask nicely or maybe go and break some glass in protest and they will get a living wage
I personally don’t doordash and I would rather not tip them but i think people who don’t tip have problems with delivery
If that isn’t so feel free to tell us more

$15 an hour as a 1099 employee required to drive for the job is probably not even minimum wage

Correct. And they trying to earn $15 with people tipping. Instacart only pays about $5-7 per per shop and that shop could be 3 orders combined together with over 100 items! Instacart does not pay an hourly wage, shopper is almost solely dependent on the tip.

In many cases, people who work in the gig economy have those kinds of jobs on TOP of driving for Uber, Instacart, etc. Life can be expensive.

Did a $454 two cart order for Instacart on Wednesday and zero tip!

We have a local forum list of non tippers where we no to not take or decline the order.


There’s a catch though for people if they pay with WIC or EBT for example they cannot tip with that card on file. Cash is also rare for some to have on hand.


I am an EBT card user and I am sorry but those on EBT have no business using it for delivery. Go and get your food from a store unless maybe you are disabled but how many on EBT are disabled?!


What if the EBT user is reliant on public transportation?


Look, getting food delivered is a luxury. Sometimes ya gotta put in some work to get what you want. I don't see how being reliant on public transportation means that you must have everything delivered. I see people schlepping grocery bags and takeout all the time on the subway.


Absolutely ableist comments. I have been on EBT, I have a neurological disease as well which impacts my mobility. In the same way it’s convenient for others to do things to ease their own lives, it helps me in my situation to have someone bring my groceries to my door when my scooter can only fit so many items. There are many people on EBT with diseases and illness.

Walmart has a delivery service that you pay a monthly fee. Tip is your choice (I always tip). And, free two day shipping. I get a lot of food and basics from them although not frozen/refrigerator because the store doesn't refrigerate it while waiting for the shoppers. Much cheaper than those services.

Your job is not a gig.

Peer 2 Peer is not a job.

Can't afford to tip? do the shopping yourself.

I totally agree with this. I’m paying them for the time I just saved by not having to make dinner or do the grocery shopping. I factor the 20% tip into my weekly budget for food! I don’t understand why people are so stingy.

Instacart shows the tip.

Shipt allows you to add the tip after the service up to 3 days.

DoorDash pays the least base rate so you can tell if the customer has tipped but you don’t see it until after delivery.

People scam the system and say they never got a delivery. I take a photo in the app as well as with a separate app that geotags it and time stamps it.

If you don’t tip, always leave a rating because the higher the rating the more orders a driver gets.

UberEats users tip more.

My two best deliveries so far was a meal in the same shopping center to someone who could leave her store. Also drove 4 miles to the store and to the customers house picking up and delivering a 15 oz can of Metamucil at 9pm at night!
