I have no problem tipping, I have a problem with DoorDash and Grubhub calculating the tip on the total bill with all their fees included.
I have no problem tipping 20% with a $4 minimum, but it’s going to be based on the meal I ordered, not your bullshit service fees.
Tipping is weird to me. Since every other business doesn’t have tips because they already price their services or products correctly to account for their employees salary, since it is 100% their responsibility as the employer.
This shifting of responsibility and blame to the client by underpaying staff and pushing a system of begging and guilty tripping is incredibly weird.
This all signifies a pricing problem. Well I guess not one for the employers who are cheapskates raking in profits in a system where they shift attention of blame away from themselves.
Tipping is paying for the service. Having someone deliver food to your doorstep is a luxury. The restaurant needs to be paid for the food, the service needs to be paid for facilitating the delivery, and the driver should be paid for the service.
Why not actually price it into the cost of the food. Like any delivery x distance will cost x amount. Like actually charge what they want instead of this arbitrary guessing game.
Like you know… Like how online orders will provide the shipping cost to the consumer and then not expect tips, since the shipping cost is already accounted.
Charge what they want…
Gonna be real boss, as a driver for DD, delivery drivers don’t care what you ordered. They care about mileage, pickup & drop off times, and stairs. A $5 tip will cover most sane orders. $10 will usually cover insane orders / stairs.
If you’re concerned about timing, tip $5 and then text them when they are assigned the order and let them know it is time sensitive and that you’ll add cash tip on arrival for prompt delivery.
