What’s an acceptable tip for a driver who delivers a $20 pizza?
A TikTok video purporting to show a DoorDash delivery driver in Texas swearing at a customer over the $5 tip she gave him has gone viral, sparking fresh online debate over tipping culture in the U.S.
“I just want to say it’s a nice house for a $5 tip,” the driver can be heard saying as he walks away from a home in the door camera video posted to TikTok earlier this week by a user under the name Lacey Purciful.
“You’re welcome!” the resident says, appearing surprised by the remark. “F*** you,” the driver responds before walking away.
A spokesperson for DoorDash said a delivery driver had been removed from their platform in connection with the incident.
Are you trying to pretend the power relations were in favour of the driver here?
Get a grip.
You hyperfocus on the fact that the homeowner likely makes more money than the driver, therefore absolving the driver of any and all responsibility. Take a step back, maybe pull your head just a little bit out of your own ass, and realize that all the driver had to do to not get fired is literally just not swear at the fucking customer
I have never said the driver behaved well. Only that the customer behaved much worse.
Lmao. People like this exist in real life, apparently. Are you a human personification of the “Well I’m sure the guy who stole my bike needed it more” meme.
Dude, you are way too focused on who did the thing (or rather, how much money they had) than what actually happened. You’re missing the forest for the trees.
