Tip culture in usa

Oct 25, 2020 445 Comments

A door dahser was yelling in front of the house using offensive language for not paying him more than 5$ tip. I didnt not come out and respond to it as he was out of control
if you think it's low tip just don't do the ride.

I always feel people are getting mad in USA, if they don't get more than 10% or so. I can pay more tip of i like the service just don't like it if some one is forcing it on me.

It's just not acceptable behavior.

What's the tip expectation in USA?

It seems like tip is mandatory thing that too got to be afleast 5$ or 20% in USA


Update: The purpose of this post is to know if i don't know about something that is fair about tipping. So please hold off your comments of " if you don't like it , go back to your country."

If something s don't seem right , we have to think about rectifying it and not run away from it.

    Here we go again. If you think under $5 is enough, you shouldn’t be ordering delivery.

    If you’re not tipping 30% for delivery during a pandemic then you’re an asshole

      You tip 30%, subsidize my meals.

      I will never tip 30%. I am not their employer and it's not my duty to make sure they have a living wage. Imagine if you had to tip your bus driver, or your mailman, your cashier, or your pharmacist. That would be so inefficient and unreasonable.

      Employers should pay their employees a good wage, and set prices so that they can afford to do that. It makes no sense to put it on the customer and creates alot of unnecessary friction like OP experienced.

    • I don't know why some people support corporate and not Americans

      Its employer 's responsibility to make sure their full-time or contract employees to be financially good

      Without dashers there is no door dash. Period.

    30% is a little high imo. 20% is solid. If you have someone complaining about 20% then you found an outlier.

  • Don't listen to all these people.
    Tip culture is sh*t, because of people like these the tip culture doesn't go away.
    If everyone stops tipping, the structure will change and wages will increase, let the corporates pay and the price of items be adjusted accordingly.
    What scam is this going on where a thing costs $10, you need a $10/mo Dashpass, then doordash adds additional fee, the app shows $13 already (30% up!) and then you are expected to tip too.
    What stupidity! If you care so much about workers, make the price already $15 and consumers then can decide! It's absolute BS culture promoted by wannabe people.

      Or service is shitty because they can't meet their basic needs let alone care about their customer's. If the wages are low, the service can't be excellent. It's not the tipping but the minimum wage that's the problem.

      Talking to Yahoo reminds me of talking to a 5 yo kid who believes he can get what he wants just by screaming and crying.

      I rarely tip over 15%, sometimes 20% if service is good, 5-10% if not good. I never tip on takeout and for delivery I’ll give them $5 or something.

      I tip up-front with whatever amount I think that’s reasonable. If you are not satisfied with the tip don’t take the order. “30% at a minimum” my ass.
