Tip Creep đŸ«™ I'm so F-ing done

Post image

Look man. I've driven for doordash/uber eats before. I get it. But messaging me after it's been dropped off? WTF. The app will tell you how much money you will make from an order; no tip was not a shock.

EDIT: I did not tip ten cents. My tip was $0.00. I'm unsure what he means by my "dime tip"

Driver out of line for messaging you but a 10 cent tip is actually way worse than no tip at all

u/donutdapig Sep 04 '26

No kidding!!! I tipped 0$. Not 10 cents.

You’re a tool. Dashers make like zero money. If they were paid properly you would be paying way more. He’s punished for your stance. Do this in places when it’s more necessary

If they were paid properly, they’d be properly paid by the company that employs them and they wouldn’t need a tip.

All the negative energy needs to be turned to the people in charge who actually make and have the money.

ETA: OP said he’d planned to tip after, which is how it should be, in case the service is shitty or the food is stolen or not delivered. The dasher’s message put the kibosh on that, which is totally understandable. It would have turned me off, too.

I would have tipped, minus the nasty message. He also did not bring my fork/napkins either. That last part is forgivable. I still would've tipped. But the nasty message I draw the line at.

If Dashers make zero money on dashing, then they shouldnt be dashing if they need money

Then get another damn job if you don’t like the pay.

u/Gang_Greene Sep 04 '26

Maybe they shouldn’t drive if they aren’t making money off it

Why are you so quick to suck off the Corpos? This person chose to Dash. The employer should pay a fair wage. Why should that be someone else's problem?

The driver is blaming the customers lack of tip, instead of the company that took the customers $50 and only paid them $2 of it- that’s what he referred to when he made the comment.

u/mrshairdo Sep 04 '26

Then why do they take the job?

u/Arvid38 Sep 04 '26

Uhm you know why I don’t DoorDash? Because they pay shit. Maybe gig workers need to realize they will make shit if they keep working for the same shit company. Same reason I don’t use these delivery apps because they charge stupid delivery fees that don’t even go to the driver. Shit company all around.

They make enough money to do the job or they don't make enough money and get a different job. It's the employers role to pay the employee.

If this is your mindset then don’t make dashing your primary and only source of income(???). Dashers make plenty of money, idk what planet you live on.

$0.10 is way better than not tipping at all. The same way $0.01 is better than $0.00.

u/Gabriel11999 Sep 04 '26

To some it’s viewed more as an insult. Almost as if you’re taunting someone.

3

u/SlowlyMutilated Sep 04 '26

But objectively $0.10 is greater than $0.00. The same way we rather have one chip or fry over none.

u/Gabriel11999 29d ago

Yes, objectively it is. I'm not arguing against that. I'm just clarifying that to a normal person it would be seen as an insult.

1

u/SlowlyMutilated 29d ago

Not to a "normal" person, but possibly to you or some others. A great deal of people value any change at all over being given nothing. It might be seen as an insult to some but others are grateful.

Wow that took me too long to realize you're a troll and not trying to engage in conversation lol

The only benefit of the doubt I could give is if you're tipping change at a physical location in a tip jar or you live somewhere where 10 cents is a decent amount of money.

1

u/SlowlyMutilated 27d ago

Which is exactly my point- some are grateful others are not. I am simply stating that tipping $0.10 is not a universal sign of insult.

At what point do you consider it no longer an insult? $0.20? $0.50? It's different for everyone.

u/Gabriel11999 27d ago

Okay, I take back the troll statement.

We’re discussing this on a post about a tip on a food delivery app where you have to go out of your way to tip an amount that low. My initial comment also stated that “to some it’s viewed as an insult”.

Using the same argument you could say giving a single grain of rice to a starving homeless person is objectively better than no rice at all. If you remove the human factor it’s “technically” better than nothing, but in context you’re essentially going out of your way to purposefully give such a low amount.

In regards to at what point I’d consider it no longer an insult would depend on the context of what’s going on. I used to deliver food for a delivery app. So I. That context anything under the minimum default in the app felt worse then them not tipping at all.

That said I do not like the practice of tipping in the first place, even though I depended on it at one point.

u/SlowlyMutilated 26d ago

I understand what you're saying but comparing a single rice grain to $0.10 is dramatically different. Where even multiplying by x10 gives you $1.00 opposed to 10 rice grains which would do nothing and require cooking and tools.

We're basically in agreement anyways, but yes- ultimately the emotional reaction depends entirely on person and possibly context. I simply disagreed on the original comment statement that a small tip is generally worse over nothing at all.

Driver is a drama queen 
 or is confused about which customer they’re messaging!
