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 job, which requires a graduate degree, pays $50/hour. I don't get paid for any time that I don't work, and that includes bathroom breaks. No job security, no vacation, no benefits. But for some reason, I have to tip everyone else, and the people receiving these tips think the minimum wage should be as high as 25/hour.

I do support a much higher minimum wage. But tipping needs to go. And also, if minimum wage is even 15/hour, then entry level jobs requiring a BA need to pay more since they barely pay more than the equivalent of 15/hour now. And then if those jobs are paying the equivalent of 25-30/hour, then mine should be paying at least 70. I don't think minimum wage workers understand that a lot of people are making 35K per year with a college degree and aren't getting any tips.

You know by now that income does not correlate with education.

My dd is in NYC, early 20s, among the thousands trying make it in the arts. She works part time at night in a private dinner club as a host. Her base salary is $45 per hour. Tips more than double her salary. Before that she worked in a high end restaurant as a hostess. $15 per hour plus tips. People would hand her $100 for seating them. Some of the regular Wall Street guys would give all the front house staff a $50 bill when they walked in.

The 1% are not cheap. It’s the middle income that’s cheap. The working class guys will tip their last dollar because they understand.

Strippers make a lot of money too.
This scenario is irrelevant and yes, income does correlate with education. Why else do we send our children to college?

So do high end escorts, are you trying to compare hospitality workers with women who take off their clothes for money?

My point was the wealthiest people tip well. The ones who call themselves upper middle class and middle class not so much. The workers with lower incomes tip better.

I was addressing your claim that income has no relation to education. In some careers (like those that are appearance-based), it doesn't, but in almost all it does.

DoorDash is kind of predatory towards their drivers, and they really need those tips to make any kind of income. It’s the regular business transactions, like a cashier handing you the stuff you just bought, that get a side-eye from me if there’s a tip screen.

However, this guy seems like the kind of person who wouldn’t tip well if the food were coming to his own home.

The guy is not wrong, if they can afford that house, they can afford to tip a little more. And the guy is no more "entitled" than the woman living the lap of luxury in her big house.

That's great for your daughter, but I hope she's saving her money because she's getting paid for her looks. The point of getting an education is that when she's not early 20s anymore and men aren't handing her hundred dollar bills for nothing, she'll still be able to make money.
Income absolutely correlates with education outside of things like modelling, acting and hostessing.

It’s disingenuous to say “25% tip” when it’s a measly $5. Just because you ordered a ridiculous small order for delivery is not drivers fault. I actually am fine with higher tip for expensive orders; they are responsible for transporting $400 worth of goods — a higher fee is warranted. What happens if they get cut off and it spills? I think the Dasher has to pay.

But people saying “get a job” it’s often illegal immigrates dashing on someone’s account, ex cons, or people who need the ultimate flexibility. Retail and fast food are famous for inflexible and disruptive scheduling.

It’s not walking from car door to your door — they have to drive to restaurants then to the homes etc. and most don’t live in your fancy zip code so already drove awhile to get in active market. DD pays about $3/job, so $10 tips after gas might be nearly minimum wage for the 30 minutes of work. And that doesn’t include the time with them circling or idling waiting on call for orders — are pizza delivery drivers at a restaurant paid for while they wait for orders?
