[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should look for different employment.  The solution isn't to guilt people into increasing the amount they tip because you need to money.   You are not providing the same, or even similar, service as a waiter does.  I am not going to tip delivery drivers the same percentage I'm tipping someone who is taking my order, serving my food, refilling my water glass and getting me a to-go box.  [/quote]

OP here. I'm fortunately going back to work in January full-time in my primary field of employment. I drive part-time as my hours were reduced; job wasn't completely gone, which I'm definitely grateful for. 
I don't mean to be rude but especially this year, MANY people are driving for these apps not as a supplement, but as full-time work. Many people HAVE applied to anything they can. If I have to clean bathrooms, I would. No shame here. I don't have kids but I help my parents out financially, with mom having many health issues and taking to appointments and such. UE gives me the flexibility to literally drive and deliver any day, anytime, so I can work around my other position and family obligations. I'm optimistic that in January I can hire someone to come check in a provide transportation when I'm not available but for right now, this is my reality, something I'd never thought would happen to me.

I understand that waiters don't do nearly the same job but I'm sharing what I realized regarding tips. Obviously you can and will continue to do whatever works best for you. [/quote]
