Question about tipping…

I offer a chocolate to every delivery driver who comes to me, I know it's just a small gesture but I do gift any regulars a box of chocolates at Christmas and if they're are particularly good I tape a tenner to the box.

I dislike tipping because I believe they should be paid a decent wage but I realise they often aren't so this is my compromise.

They have to drive their own vehicle and use their own gas for starters. They don't work for a corporation so they have zero benefit or security. If they get in a no fault crash and break their back delivering your food they're screwed and you're just gonna be angry because you didn't get your food delivered to your door and leave a bad review.

It's also massive luxury to have your whims delivered, so why be cheap to the person who is doing what you can afford to pay someone else to do?

I delivered for instacart for awhile and I quit because people would leave $2 tip so I'd spend an hour and a half getting their groceries and delivering them for like $5 🖕🏼

I hate this non-tipping attitude. Everyone should experience working for tips and see how it feels.

I feel badly for people who Doordash, Uber Eats, or other services. BUT i fucking hate tipping. It is out of control and excuse for businesses to not pay liveable wages to drivera and delivery persons. I have also encountered tipping at McDonalds and fast food establishments.

I hear you in respect to feeling obligated but the only persons we are hurting are the persons preforming the jobs.

I almost always pay with my credit or debit card but I NEVER put thw tip on the card. I slip the driver/delivery workers and employees cash in person.

They make a little more than the pizza guy. Believe me they remember who tips.and they have your food.

The delivery apps don't pay the drivers much. Food delivery has traditionally been tipped. If you want a no tip delivery system prepare to pay a lot more than you currently do.

They charge you a delivery fee, and then you're expected to tip on top of that. I don't get it.

I tip food delivery peeps, and the others get water in the summer. Our postman is lovely

He's bringing your pizza in a blizzard. Give the guy a tip eh 😐

I never tip anyone. I never have.

Here's a tip... cook at home 😆
