Delivery Driver Takes Back Food After Getting $8 Tip

The nerve of these millennial z kiddos!!!

Min wage folk are entrepreneurs now! They can bank 50k bussing your food across town and have no right to complain!!!!

I try to avoid delivery. The food prices are higher than at the restaurant, their is a service fee, and on top of that you still have to give a fair tip. Its stupid, I just rather go to the restaurant myself and pay the lower prices and not have to pay a service fee plus a tip.

Imagine, the individual that prepares the food at the restaurant gets shafted as well in the process. I rather give my tip directly to that individual.

 

I just dont understand why people pay a 100% premium for cold food when they can get their lazy asses off the couch and get it themselves.

 

The answer lies within your question.

 

Idk the order price, or what the norms are in NY, but 8 dollar tip for a 15-minute drive sounds really good.

 

The question is how much was the food?

 

I don't know but that bag is really small, it's not like she was moving a truck load of food.

Snobby NYC gold plated sushi?

 

$8 tip isn't bad. The package was pretty small. She could have earned more of a tip.

I generally tip at least 20%. I had to supplement a tip a few times my wife ordered because she didn't understand the value of the tip. We had a long heart to heart and she tips more now.

It's how people value their time.

I'd rather pay $20 extra for a meal I can eat in my home some days than go to a restaurant.

 

What a ungrateful S***. I would of raised hell if that was my food.

 

I work from home so I went pretty hard in food delivery when Covid started. It's definitely gotten more expensive and I've backed off pretty hard too.

The quality is generally okay. But I don't see this food delivery model as sustainable, ride sharing barely was pre Covid as each trip was heavily subsidized by the company.

 

Its not so much the cost but the quality. Fried food goes from very tasty to mediocre to disgusting in a matter of minutes. Some food ages better than others. Food service accuracy has gotten much worse with the pandemic.

 

Food service in general seems like it has gotten worse. Heck, all service seems like it's on the downturn.

 

Yea, I have learned to know what food travels best, Chinese, Italian, BBQ and cold sandwiches travel well, Burgers and Fried Food over a few miles away suck and hell no to fries and nachos. I am kind of lazy at times and simply don't want to go anywhere and cant cook to save my life but its gotten expensive. With DD I dont pay a delivery fee over 12 bucks but there is always a service fee of like 2.22 plus the inflated prices.....I will only order from around 6-7 places and there all with in 5 miles

 

Just go pick up the food from the restaurant yourself. Also, maybe I don’t understand food delivery as I’ve only ordered via this method once or twice, but why is $8 a bad tip for a 5 mile drive? That’s 30 minutes round trip? What is the right amount? I get tipping waiters 20%+ but I also only normally tip 5-10 on a big order to go (family of 4) from a restaurant. All they did was pack the food and bag it?

 

it's new york. It's entirely possible a 5-6 mile drive took as much as 40 mins. but she's still an idiot for doing this and completely in the wrong lol

 

At what point could what this delivery driver do be considered theft? I'm not saying were it me in the homeowner's shoes I would have called the police, but they have literally already paid for that food, and the food was delivered. She then takes it away...I guess it's kind of a grey area but it would have been funny (tragically) had they called the police on her and she had to return the food.

 

Don't get me started. Pre-pandemic, I was patient. I am now at the impatient stage starting to slip into the ******* stage. Work from home may work for some industries, but for the service industry, its terrible.

 

I would be pretty stoked with an $8 tip, but I haven't delivered food or bartended this century.

 

These huge companies got us fighting amongst ourselves while they rack in the dough. If they paid these door dash people, servers, waiters a living wage (with benefits) and put the tip into the cost of the food already we wouldn't have problems like this. tipping is a huge scheme. They mandate the consumer to supplement what they should already be paying their workers.

(i assume) This girl is acting like this because she probably needs that tip to eat or pay rent or something. Tipping shouldn't be a necessity, it's supposed to be extra.

I dont f*ck with delivery services because it's too high with the fees and tipping on top of that. Pick up is the way to go to avoid all this foolishness.
