Doordash has the delivery guys call me when they're at my door and makes me feel bad about not tipping. Might switch back to uber eats. Curious if it is ok to not tip, I feel like it's a waste of money with all the delivery and service fees anyways. Especially times when the restaurant is sometimes < 5 minute drive

      For people arguing, “get a better job”, keep in mind, there will always be someone at the bottom. If that person moves onto better things, they’ll be replaced with someone else at the bottom. We should make sure those opportunities exist for moving up, but again, someone will always be at the bottom. Not everyone can do our jobs and we don’t have enough high end jobs to give to everyone even if they could do the job. We need to be cognizant of how we treat people at the bottom. Ask yourself, are you ok with how you treat the lowest classes of our society? Personally for me, I don’t want this place to start looking like India

      Ask yourself, do you want to solve the problem of employers exploiting their employees and not giving minimum wages? Or you want to continue ignoring this exploitation?

  • Delivery guys do get paid very little. So, tipping them during these difficult times, is the right thing to do.

      @swagtastic, I disagree with your point of forcing the companies to lower their service fees. It’s like asking amazon to reduce prices for products on amazon.com or aws. A simple counter from Amazon could be “Go use some other service”. Here according to me the issue is not the cost of service, but rather why create a moral dilemma for consumer and force him/her to ensure reasonable compensation for ones employees by tipping.

    • If a corporation doesn’t want to lower their fees, then in turn the consumer won’t tip.

      If the consumer doesn’t tip, then less delivery drivers available. Low supply of delivery drivers, then higher salaries for drivers?

      Of course they are doing it for money, that’s not even an argument. Would you code for someone else for free? Or spend hours driving around for others everyday for free?

      I also said I’m not even talking about your views on tips. Personally I tip them because a tip is what makes their time worthwhile, whether they’re broke or not.

      You called them unemployable and I am specifically calling you out for that. You cannot be judging them as unemployable because they choose to do this job.

      As for “whining about low tips and wages” - Again, this has nothing to do with you not tipping them, but apparently they’re not allowed to tell you how they feel about it too? Many of them have other reasons and this is not even their only gig if they do it part time. I don’t know if you heard but many Americans have multiple jobs and still can’t make ends meet, not because they’re incapable but because that’s the hand millennials have been dealt.

      @Intuit :- Again , I would like to say , Tip to be encouraged but not considered as an entitlement.
      They may be doing favors in your view , But I think otherwise - We are helping them to earn , to live and whatever small %age they get from food delivery companies along with 5-10$ of tips we add.

      All I am saying is Microsoft shouldn't be called out names because he feels the service provided was not appreciable for a tip , because every order just generates some income to the delivery.

      Just curious to know if you tip UPS , Usps, FedEx, Amazon delivery partners? Do you tip DOCs, NPs , janitors? They are also doing favors by your logic.

      Professional services aren't favors.
