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.

I’ll set my own hours and know never to deliver to cheapskates like you!

I hear this argument all the time, but I live in LA, have never tipped, and always get mg orders on time. I get monthly credits from Amex and Chase, so I order weekly from doordash, instacart, Uber eats, and Walmart+. Never tip, never an issue with my order! If you don’t like it, get a job working in a store. If tip was required, it would be part of the bill, it’s optional, so my option is no tip.

Hey keep on justifying your cheapness. You do you!

I am paying for the service. If you want a tip, make it part of the invoice. Or, get an office job and stop complaining.

Why do I feel like PP would be the first to melt down if everyone in his “office job” got a bonus except him?

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.

They do not pay $20 an hour!

And even if it isn't totally accurate, so what? If you're getting minimum wage, why do you need a tip? You are paid to do the job. End of story. Don't like it, then don't do it. It's not up to customers to ensure you make a decent salary.

Those figures include tips you moron.

It seems like a ridiculous frittering away of money to allow use of WIC and EBT for marked up optional services like food delivery.

People can choose to take your order or not. If you're wondering why your pizza is taking so long, look at your tip.

Don’t you put the tip in when you order and pay for these services? I always pre tip. It’s like a little bribe.

Yes, exactly. You have to tip, and tip in advance, or your order will likely not be picked up. Why would I deliver something for nothing, when other people tip?

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?

+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

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.

No you idiot. This is the OP. That $15 an hour includes the base pay plus the tips. Just know, the first time I deliver to you and there is no tip, I log it and share it with others. Also if the restaurant makes me wait too long, I never pick up from there and others know it too.
