Fuck the whole thing, and especially the tipping bit. You want a trip, read the subreddit /r/doordash, (back when I was on reddit that is). Some greedy ass MFs live in there swapping stories about how they’ll gladly turn down jobs because the tip wasn’t high enough.
Like what, am I supposed to tip you 30% just to have my food delivered? Fuck that. Tipping is supposed to be a thank you on top of it, not a bribe to convince you to do your job. Tipping should come after everything where I can decide how well you did. There are horror stories where they’ve texted asking for a higher tip and worse yet holding onto the food demanding a higher tip or the people don’t get their food.
You’re exactly right, I just get my ass in the car and go get it now. It had a purpose during covid, but now they can go pound sand. Last time I did it was exactly the same as yours, I watched my food get assigned to a driver who sat for a parking lot for 10 minutes before deciding he should go pick up my order (which was fast food, and ready immediately, and sitting there getting cold).
Those people are doing that to make money, if I see a trip that’s 20-30 minutes total of driving but only get $4-5 for it, I’m declining it. If you think that makes me greedy, then I’m glad you’ve had such a privileged life.
That’s placing your anger and low pay on the customers, not the corporation that’s holding 50% of your profits. You want to be mad, be mad at them, refuse to drive for them, demand a better share.
So sorry I didn’t want to tack on any more to my $85 dollar order for 2 people. “Recommended tip” would have put me over $95 dollars. Let me put it this way, if I paid $85 dollars for a delivery order and you only made $8, we’re both getting screwed.
The fun thing, I’d be willing to tip more if they didn’t ask for it up front. If I received my order in a timely manner and it’s still hot, I’d gladly tip 20%. But being forced to choose ahead of time? No way I know how it’s going to get there, that’s why I call it a bribe. The driver isn’t doing their job and I’m tipping them on a job well done, I’m bribing them to get my food quickly.
Granted that was the last time and I was disgusted with how much I paid, so I go and pick it up myself now, so I guess no money for anyone except the restaurant.
If you’re only getting $4-5 dollars for 30 minutes, I’d suggest going to McDonald’s. They’re paying better than doordash.
