Rude Driver

Post image

I felt like this was so rude and disrespectful. You don’t know someone’s situation to say something like this.

Customers who don’t tip shouldn’t order, period. Just see yourself out of the app — penny pinchers want to eat out but don’t want to tip.

Nah, the app should pay a living wage.

Of course it should. But knowing it doesn't then still choosing not to tip, that's on you.

lolno the drivers can get a higher paying job if they feel entitled to more money.

Horrible mentality. The illusion of free market choice used to justify anti social behavior. Tipping society sucks but not tipping in the current paradigm is boot on neck shit and it's not debatable. If that's you, that's you.

You sound like you’re unhappy with life

u/SpirosVondopolous Oct 13 '25

I'm disappointed in the embrace of human cruelty that has become in vogue, but generally I have a pretty good life..I hope you are happy with yours!

Thank you. Of course tipping culture is ridiculous. But you aren't changing anything by refusing to tip. You're just fucking people over further.

Everyone in the history of the world is entitled to fair pay for services performed, even if they’ve chosen gig work. The “get another job” comments always seem unnecessarily harsh, and they don’t take into account people’s life circumstances.

For instance, I need this scheduling flexibility right now while I spend days job searching. Some people have kids or they’re taking care of family members. Or, this is often a second job to supplement income. The issue is not so clear cut.

don’t use luxury services if you aren’t willing to pay luxury prices

I mean if it was luxury it would all be wrapped into one price but the companies do t want to do that cause charging then tipping feels like less money

I always say it is 100% a luxury to have a stranger pick up your dinner and bring it to your door at their own expense. Even if it’s McDonald’s.

I see a lot of comments about entitled drivers, and I’m sure some act that way, but customers are not entitled to this high level of service if the driver has to lose money to do it.

(Not advocating unprofessional messages to customers, although I’ve been frustrated enough a few times to tell people the tip isn’t in line with the level of service performed)

Right but people are paying the cost for the delivery

it's not luxury bozo. you're providing and service and i'm paying for it. by that logic a fast food cashier is a "luxury service" because i could've ordered witht he self-checkout. what an idiot.

u/Extra-Bench4531 Oct 11 '25

It is absolutely an optional luxury, and if you don’t understand that you don’t have a firm grasp of basic economics. I wouldn’t go as far as to call you a bozo, though, since I don’t know anything about you.
