Question about tipping…

Do you tip the Amazon or FedEx driver who delivers your package? How bout the mail man?

So why am I obligated to tip the food delivery service like Skip the Dishes or Door Dash? Or even the pizza guy?

Just wondering what you guys think

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

@MsSwan delivery fee doesn't go to the delivery person. It's just the business double dipping

MsSwan

@MethDozer I know, but it's frustrating for the customer. I've started picking it up again. I'm not paying all that extra.

@MsSwan honestly I find it easier and faster to just pick it up myself.

Really the only time I ever order delivery is if it's at a family get together or something like that just to to not waste the moment.

@MsSwan the driver isn't charging you a fee, the app is. The driver might get $2-3 and how is that fair?

MsSwan

@MarbleMarvel No, It's not fair. That's why they should be paid more in the first place. That includes waiters and waitresses too.

@MsSwan I agree, but expecting businesses to care about their employees is a thing of the past.
