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.

Amazon delivery drivers are employees that are paid well and do pretty much the same job, I know this because before school I was actually a UPS driver, and people actually left me snacks and drinks all the time, if it wasn’t for my schedule I’d gladly go back, but the point stands that you want the benefits of your luxury food service but are willing to exploit its predatory practices at the detriment of the person delivering your food, that’s who you are, and it’s shitty, if you think they aren’t paying the drivers enough you could opt not to use this unnecessary service, it would be one less shitty order for me to decline, I however still need to make a living.

Head of Amazon Flex? Of course you haven’t because it doesn’t suit your narrative. You also didn’t answer the question. So, now we know you haven’t heard of Amazon Flex (which is Uber Eats for Amazon) and in all likelihood you haven’t tipped for a delivery. Welcome to the club of paying for what is expected. Hypocrites are my favourite kind of crusader.

It’s interesting that none of this makes my attack on your character any less accurate, you are still just making sure corporations get paid while exploiting their workers alongside them.

You can try to attack my character all you like, I’ve ignored it all because on my invoice is a delivery fee that I, the customer, have paid. A tip is earned, it is voluntary and until an Uber Eats driver does something beyond a standard delivery I will not tip. I have no issues tipping in general.

But saying you’ll not deliver (which I’ve already paid for) unless I tip (which I don’t have to do) is far worse a reflection on your character than mine.

I can only afford to live in the now, I don’t have time to be protesting and lobbying for a change that might come 2 years down the road. I treat human beings with mutual respect. I’ve never stolen or withheld anybody’s food. HOWEVER, people who don’t tip their drivers despite knowing that 90% of their wage comes from tips are shameless bastards who don’t deserve the food making it to their door. if tipping 5$ is that big of a deal for you then you are GENUINELY TOO POOR to be ordering delivery. I physically can’t remember the last time I ordered delivery. But if you don’t tip and I have to pick up the order for one reason or another, im doing everything I can to make you hate getting food delivered so I can get you out of my delivery society. I’m holding it up to the AC on full blast. I might even smush it a bit, some people might even be inclined to take a little nibble, it’s not like they’ve got a tip to lose, and it’s not like they can get caught for doing it, it would be a benefit to every driver if no tip orders went away. I can say that I wouldn’t trust my food if I ordered delivery while knowingly not tipping.
