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.

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.

This is false

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!

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

25%

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 whole out of control tipping culture relies on shaming and social pressure like this.

This is why more people are simply just no-tipping, because eff that.

The problem is usually that business owners set the prices and wages and then send the workers to squeeze clients for tips.

Blaming the workers is blaming the victim. They don't set the prices or their wage. They are human shields for the business owners.

Boycott businesses that encourage tips. This will drive them out of business and be replaced by companies that operate more honestly. Those business will compete to hire the workers, and ones that pay more will get better workers, generating more customers, and do better business.

But using a business and helping the owner stuff their staff is just gross.

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

Making it Doordash’s problem. There should be a minimum fuel stipend/reimbursement based on mileage and minimum pay, either hourly wage or fee per delivery.

What a scam.

I'm sure you expect a bonus each year.

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

Uber and doordash are welcome to hand out bonuses.

And pay minimum wage.

The greed of the owner class is glaring and shameless at this point.

“Let them eat cake” is not sound policy.

The idea that tips are based upon someone’s house size is what is obnoxious. The tipping thing is out of control and the company is taking in so many fees. I get it’s a convenience to have food delivered but it shouldn’t cost so much to receive it. I’ve become totally frustrated with grocery delivery. There is no way I’m tipping 20% on big grocery orders on top of service fees. Groceries are too expensive and they are working for about one hour. I tip $25 and also incur about $15-20 of fees. I think $45 additional on a grocery order is a lot. These companies need greater regulation to ensure they are paying employees and tipping is not their sole income.

Instead of attacking “tip culture” perhaps we should examine our system of monetary policy and globalization that absolutely CRUSHES the ability of local community small businesses to compete with private equity and venture capital backed corporate giants.

I went on the Crumbl cookie app to order a cookie for my coworker's bday. It auto-selects a $3 tip, and in order to select no tip, you have to tap a button with 3 dots & manually enter $0.

I'm sorry, but a $3 tip on a $4.78 cookie is outrageous. I'm not tipping 60%. I would be more inclined to tip if $1 was an option, which is, you know, 20% of my order total. But $1 is not even an option on the app. $2, $3 (auto-selected), and $5 are the options without tapping to enter your own.

I looked back at my ordering history and found that I've inadvertently tipped $3 when I placed other orders for the 4-pack of cookies. If this had been a larger order, I probably wouldn't have noticed an additional $3 in there but the final amount of $8.23 for a single cookie clued me in that someone what off.

My sibling is in the restaurant industry and he said he's noticing a shift. All the random places adding tip options to their checkout screens is angering people and starting to cause a tipping backlash.

A lot of restaurants and bars are doing mandatory "tipping" now too. They used to pretend that it was about quality service, but they've even let that go now. It's happened a few times recently where the 20% gratuity was automatically included on the bill and then you could supplement it on top of that. And no, this was not for a large party. I would rather be charged the extra $5 for the cocktail upfront and then tip if so inclined. The whole thing is sneaky and scummy.

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

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

Anonymous wrote: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.

You could always ask how much the tip in app was before the person added on a cash tip, before you criticize it for being too little.

I am studying hard, and I’m not wasting money on tipping when these people make minimum wage! If they don’t like get, get a job as a nanny.
