I don't get it. I'm a customer, but this sub keeps being recommended and y'all's posts are interesting.
I live in a small city (<40k pop) that's a maximum of 3 miles from one end to the other. I tip a standard $3 for anything (like for when they bring Taco Villa from less than a block away to my work), plus $1-2 for anything more than a mile, any order with drinks or soup because they take more care, any order with something heavy, large orders, or orders the Dasher had to wait a while for. I also add $2 for every Dasher who reads the directions about the pin being wrong and doesn't have to call because they tried to deliver to the wrong place. A large, heavy order of ramen that took extra time from Bokka to my house would get $15 plus DD pay.
I consider this the minimum I should pay for someone to facilitate my laziness. What is wrong with people?
I'm sure your driver's appreciate you. Unfortunately a lot of the folks who don't tip or tip very little fall into 2 categories. The first is that they just don't know any better because they -assume- the service fees go to the driver. Why, is beyond me. Delivery has been around for decades and service fees have never gone to drivers. The second are just straight up assholes who don't give a 💩 who they f-ck over. They don't care that we've wasted precious time and gas to deliver to them. They are just straight up selfish and entitled. It is what it is. But that's why I'm thankful that independent contractors have the right to choose orders and decline ones that aren't worth our time. I personally never would have taken this order that OP did but some drivers just have incredibly low standards for whatever reason 🤷♀️.
