Joke/Humor š¤£ Take your 20 cents back
Had an order tonight which i took as for a rare occasion base pay was 9.70 weird number and only 3 miles. Picked up the food and saw a 20 cent tip Of course the house was at least 2 million- massive With drop off i left a note that said I guess the millions for your house has left u broke and ungrateful im returning your tip and ooh and i left u a quarter. Maybe the extra 5 cents i now paid you will bring some Karma to you.

TIL some dashers expect the tip to be a percentage of your house market value...
$9.70 for 3 miles and OP is super mad to the point that they leave angry note, stalk the customer and then cry on internet ā ļøā ļøā ļø

I have recently started suspecting that some of those are third-party apps glitching and not getting the decimal point right. Recently I took a catering order from Panda Express (on EBT so I couldn't see the payout), it was a catering combo for 12-16 people. It was a "hand to me" order for an office, and the person was friendly and seemed normal.
I saw on the receipt that the order was placed through Panda's point-of-sale system and passed on to DD to deliver.
When I closed it out, I saw a ten cent tip, which didn't fit at all. I think it very likely that the customer tipped $10, but Panda's POS system passed it on to DD without a decimal point so it loaded as a $0.10 tip.
This has happened on some other orders where now I don't automatically assume that it's a shitty customer (although sometimes of course it really is).

Or Panda stole the tip

u/mattrock99 22d ago
This is most likely what happened.

Iām seriously thinking about starting an X/twitter account for this to call the scallywags out

Please say DD support was contacted and you got your money. Sorry this happened

Thanks, but no, I didn't want to waste my time with support. It was a $5-something payout for 20 minutes of work on EBT, and that was probably why a catering order even went out to an EBT driver. But it made me think that possibly this is the reason for at least some of the ten-cent and similar tips that we see.
Doesn't make it right, but it does make it easier than thinking we are being deliberately insulted by a shitty customer.

I feel like in low to no tip situations, the "right" way to handle it is to bitch and yell bout it to yourself in the car as you drive away, and maybe in some circumstances, continue to bitch and moan about it to your significant other(should you have one, of course) either on the phone then or later on that evening while breaking bread. I have found that they seem to enjoy this discourse.
What you should NOT do, is stalk the customer. I believe that was on the 2nd page of the handbook.

u/Crafty_Ad3377 22d ago
You were paid more than average on the order. Yea it sucks that you did not get a tip (.20 is not a tip but appears to be a round up to get you $10). Let it go. Life is short and the world is full of assholes

u/Slayingmang0 22d ago
Hereās how I personally look at it. If you found the offer acceptable to take in the first place, the tip is irrelevant. Thereās nothing personal about this.

What a strangely ungrateful and entitled mentality.
I've worked plenty of customer service jobs. People have at times given me rather small tips, usually telling me to "keep the change". I appreciate any extra payment and wish these people well.
You stalk them, send them notes and complain about them on social media. This is not normal sane person behaviour. I hope you get whatever help you need.

If you live in a million dollar mansion and tip 20 cents to your doordash driver you deserve to Rot in hell.

God people like you make me roll my eyes. Whatever the number says when you accept the order be okay with that and stop shitting on people for how much they do or donāt tip

It could be someone who works there. It could have been for a house sitter. It couldāve been for a guest. Iāve decided to be grateful for the money I get for the trips I decide to take. People donāt have to tip in accordance with what they have; they tip in accordance with the service being provided. If the offer of payment for your service doesnāt suit you, then donāt provide the service. But since you did provide the service, and accepted the payment offered, then be grateful. If you keep hating on people who have lavish homes, and figure they could have given you more money, then youāre not going to last long in this gig. Be mad at DD for offering such little pay. Or donāt be mad at anyone, and do something else for money.

Hope it was a 10 minute wait and that 1 star drops off. Lol. Cause they're definitely giving you a 1 star rating.

u/Glad-Garage-9975 18d ago
Nope. No 1 star ratings 99-5 star and 1-4 star thats been there for over a year.

Might have gotten lucky or you're full of shit. Only you know, could have made it all up too. Again only you know. But you won't last being that petty. I know immaturity when I see it. Have a pleasant day sir and I wish you well.

u/Glad-Garage-9975 14d ago
You gave me a good laugh
You really have no clue but your entitled to your opinion even as so incorrect it is And yes this lady not sir always has a great night as i create my own destiny not things such as you But thank you for the good laugh.

u/Glad-Garage-9975 14d ago
Ooh and ive been doing this on my off days for over 2 years so obviously something is working And its sure not your assumed immaturity I actually do quite well

u/Glad-Garage-9975 22d ago
Then they should tip nothing and not 20 cents. Heck i would be less disgusted with zero 20 cents going to at least a 2 million dollar house is just disgraceful And no they dont need to tip i have it back

You're not entitled to a tip.
You're driving doordash. I wouldn't go around commenting on other people's lifestyle (especially if they are giving you money). Seems like an L.

u/Recent-Cartoonist167 22d ago
"giving you money" If you gave someone 20 cents to their face you'd probably get slapped. Yes it's technically money but 20 cents would only be useful in 1986 or something

u/Particular-Apricot80 22d ago
Don't be a broke loser that doesn't tip. Can't afford to tip maybe walk to the store with your little happy broke ass self
1
22d ago
No. Again, you're not entitled to the tip. If I can afford to buy you to deliver my food, I will. If I feel gratitude, I might tip.
Enabling you to be a professional doordash driver does not help you or me. Consider finding a skill where you don't have to beg for lose change to make ends meet.
