IF true the customer got what he deserved… very low class thing to not tip. And if he doesn’t have the money, he shouldn’t be ordering a doordash. Just like Pedro says in the video above if he’s broke then ask your neighbors if you could rake the lawn and earn some money… or do something to earn.
 
I use DoorDash. You set the tip when you order, and then you get the opportunity to add to the tip after Delivery, which I've never done.

I am in a nursing home and I always leave the tip at 1 notch higher than minimum, and they always bring me my stuff directly to my room. Sometimes it is very difficult to get a CNA to do it while the food is still hot and the shakes are still cold.

I'm impressed they'll bring it all the way to the room. My experience is they just leave it with staff at the front door.
 
I don't get why you agree on a price for an item and then have to tip on top of that. I don't tip. If you aren't getting enough in wages get another job that pays better.

Having said that I know it's a yank thing. Some in Oz do it to show off or because they're following US trendies but nah; not here as a rule.

Do they tip the check-out operators at Walmarts and such?

Tipping has gotten out of control, but tipping DoorDash, Shipt, etc seems like a no brainer to me

we've always tipped the pizza delivery guy, after all. Seems like Doordash is about the same thing
 
The driver knows the tip they are getting (or not getting) when they accept the order. This driver should have his account suspended.
Actually sometimes some of these apps pool tips or steal them

Point is sometimes the driver sees an order that is perhaps paying higher and must include a tip in his/her mind ….but after the order is delivered, there is no tip and simply what happened is the company took tip money from a high tipper and added it onto the base pay of the order. Again, though some of these gig companies have been proven to have stolen tips from drivers to simply add to their own profits. That’s how awful they are.

As for the driver getting deactivated if he threw the coffee on the ground. No way that is the wrong thing to do. That is why these companies need to have a union. They’re firing drivers for doing nothing wrong. Many of them have been fired due to false complaints. Obviously in this case, if it’s even true that a customer had their coffee thrown on the ground, which could be a lie, this whole thing could be concocted by the black guy to get views on TikTok. .. but even if it is true, it’s not grounds to be fired. The driver perhaps could be given a warning.

The things that these gig workers have to go through the horrible attitude that they have to deal with from customers on a daily basis. And not to mention the danger there have been Uber drivers who have been murdered by customers. These people have to deal with a lot.
 
There’s millions of gig workers in America. It’s the government issue for allowing this to happen in the first place. They allowed these apps the state governments, the federal governments They’re allowing these companies to do what they do. Remember when gig companies first came to America they had to get approved by the government to be able to function. And there’s practically no oversight of these Gig companies they treat their workers like trash. There is no overtime pay, there is no benefits or offered health insurance by these gig companies that are worth billions$$ . Now you compare that to the big companies that offered jobs to the middle-class 75 years ago…they did offer benefits.

America is not like it used to be where you can go get a job at a steel company or an auto plant and be set for life. Millions of Americans are having to work these gig jobs because our government and the CEOs are not like what they used to be.

Lots of Americans are broke. Yet for whatever reason they’re still ordering on DoorDash and GrubHub and what not. They probably shouldn’t do that. But there’s two points here. Tons of Americans are broke. Perhaps they’re not tipping because of that… the other point is our economy is terrible under Biden. And so that’s another reason why folks are broke and pay is low.

I worked as an Uber and Lyft driver, st the same time. Some idiots think giving you 5 stars negates the use of the tip. I spent 6k a year on vehicle maintenance. At first, I made close to $300 a day in take home. But too many people got into it and our profit decreased. Now the driver's compensation barely covers maintenance and gas. Take home pay is the tip. Therefore, I always tip.
 
I use Uber very occasionally...about four times...and have always paid on booking. No tips. As I said; maybe NOT for everywhere.

Tipping Uber drivers​

no politics

Yes, it's another tipping question. I haven't seen one since yesterday, so I thought it was about time. I'm specifically thinking of Uber drivers (not food delivery).
I'm very much in the "no tipping in Australia" camp, certainly as far as restaurants and everything else goes. But what about Uber? I've normally been tipping $3, as the middle default option, only because I'm not convinced that the gig economy works in the drivers' favour. It still doesn't sit quite right with me.
I'd rather not support Uber if the drivers are being exploited, but every time I switch back to taxis they either refuse to take me because the trip is less than 10 km or they try to add all these bullshit surcharges to the fare.
So, do we tip Uber drivers?



I'm in the no tip zone though occasionally I do so. As I said it's a yank thing. And calling non tippers idiots is frankly stupid!!

we always tipped taxi drivers.

Why would Uber drivers be different?

It seems obvious to me that you tip your Uber driver

I stopped doing UBER, as a driver, because everyone had their hands out. For example, Cape Canaveral required registering and being issued a device that automatically charged you $5 when you pull in to do a pickup. The problem is most of the trips are short $4 trips. When you add the surcharge to the bill, riders started lowering the number of stars they give you. If you don't maintain a 5-star average, Uber threatens to dump you.

Hotel and Disney also wanted to charge us as Taxi's always gave them kickbacks. And, I hear that in NYC, many taxi drivers had to pay $1m per car for some medallion in order to drive. That ruins the concept of Uber, but we were also destroying the Taxi industry.

People think giving 5 stars is good enough. I needed 5 stars to keep my job. I needed tips to pay the rent.

It’s a cultural thing. In the USA, it is expected to tip in the service industry. in the USA one is basically viewed as a sleazebag or low class if they don’t tip. What would have to grow up in America to understand that this is a practice that goes back many many years.

It’s different in other countries like Japan for example where there is no tipping. Their servers have a higher wage.

I did about 5000 rides with Uber before they deactivated me due to a customer lying in order to get a free ride.


Wrt Cape Canaveral charging an additional fee for picking up folks in their area. Wow, that is something else. I think it’s a bad move. But maybe they have a bunch of rich people in the area even still not a good move. I would pick up people from Buffalo Bills football games where there’s 80,000 people and there is no additional surcharge. But of course, no situation sometimes the customers paying five times or even more the rate compared to a regular trip because there are so many customers and so few drivers…. It was called surge pricing.

Well, when Uber first came to big cities, taxi drivers didn’t put up a fight. And that was a big surprise to me. I thought they would be out there in the streets, preventing that kind of thing. Many taxi drivers are Indians and Arabs they didn’t really put up a fly preps. Maybe It would’ve been different. If it was back in the day you know 75 years ago or so and something like this happened. But perhaps it’s not a ethnicity thing there it has to do with the changing culture in America. People are a lot less inclined to fight for better pay imo.

With regards to the lowering of driver pay. I think it’s a combination of their being a lot more workers, but also the companies have lowered their pay quite drastically. That These gig companies are worth billions of dollars and they still have yet to offer Any kind of a reasonable benefit package is beyond me. They could set something up where as long as a driver works a certain number of jobs each week, each month or each year they qualify for some kind of a yearly benefit system.

So they didn’t record the interaction, which is fine, but, DoorDash was wrong. A customer pays for something, the DoorDash person is supposed to bring what they paid for. That’s how it works. It’s not the narrators place to say what the customer should or should not have done. If he didn’t want to leave a tip, then that’s his prerogative, you don’t get to then throw a tantrum and throw their food on the ground.
