Can't make sense of thinking "Well, you should assume it's more likely that they didn't get the instructions somehow than they just didn't follow them, and so you should feel bad" otherwise.


pretty sure his argument is not that. seems to me it's "you're not entirely sure that it was his fault so you potentially screwed him over for something he didn't do."

in fairness, lisel already replied with "i understand this, i just don't give a shit" so yeah.


And again, my argument is that it's not the customer's job to find out who screwed up first when 90% of the time it's the driver.

If I do a shitty job, my boss isn't gonna keep paying me for very long, so... Maybe tips do make up most of what they make, but if they're doing a shitty job, why pay 'em?


yeah if I screwed up my job there would be consequences. not sure why delivery drivers were granted this special position of protected class where they can continue to be paid even when doing a bad job, and also the customer has to subsidize their living wage instead of their employer.

Why would you not think it's his fault? He would have said something to Maria if he didn't get the note when chastised for it.

I mean, if you'd prefer me to say the argument of "You don't know who screwed up even though it's most likely the driver so you should just tip anyway" is also stupid, I will.

I'm actually certain that it was the driver who screwed up, so yeah. it's a really pointless angle to argue. I mean, for like the fifteenth time already, I said something to him last time about how I put special directions and he didn't follow them. and I order from this place ALL THE TIME. all of the other drivers get my special directions every time I order. they are printed right on the receipt. in order for the same driver to mess up consecutive times when delivering to the same place and have it not be his fault, and also not respond with something along the lines of 'oh I didn't get the directions' the original time would be one massively huge cosmic coincidence which should be beyond the fathoming of any mortal mind (aside from the great dipshit12)

Did you check to find out what kind of day he was having first

Maybe he had a fight with his girlfriend

Maybe his dog died

Maybe he stepped on some Legos barefoot

You don't know so you probably should have tipped

yes I realize the error of my ways now

contrast story. I went to my favorite deli for lunch today. they are one of those types of places where you get a card that they stamp each time you eat, and after 10 times you get a free sandwich. today was my free sandwich day, and they included drinks and a side dish even though that's not actually included as part of the free sandwich.

well I don't know for certain that the 60+ year old owner of the restaurant who works there every day was aware of the free sandwich =/= free entire meal policy and for certain that he did this as a nice gesture. it's entirely possible that he accidentally gave me a free drink and side as a mistake. so I should probably just move forward operating under that assumption.

If you want to solve a problem you talk to the manager not the driver. Not tipping the driver doesnt solve the problem and in time only makes them hate you as a customer.


So if it's the driver's fault, you tip them anyway, then hope the manager does something about it while you gain literally no satisfaction and have no idea if the manager even did anything?

Nope, sorry. If you get shitty service, there's nothing wrong with not tipping. You shouldn't have to stand on your head and try to figure out what possibly went wrong.


Not tipping the driver isnt going to solve the problem you think you are solving. You are free to not tip if you want that satisfaction but it wont actually fix anything. If you want to fix the problem you have to talk to the manager. Let them chew out the driver or fix a busted system.

he asked to see my ID which I had left upstairs, so I had to go back up 3 flights of stairs to get it. despite the fact that no driver ever before has asked to see it. not even from this place which I had ordered from over a dozen times in the past.

hope it was worth it to you guys for me to reveal this completely mundane detail, knowing the hell and fury I stand to be subjected to by dipshit12 about how going up and down 3 flights of stairs multiple times is not a reason to be annoyed


Sorry they verified your ID for what I presume was a credit card purchase. Also you tend to throw in a lot of dipshits for someone who isnt angry about any of this.

although to be fair you've advocated pretty hard against the idea of personal responsibility so it's entirely possible that you believe in a world where someone can act like a dipshit and not get called one

You can keep holding on to that crutch all you want it just makes it easier to see why the driver made you go back upstairs to get your ID.

The problem is "Not wanting to tip for shitty service." I'd say not tipping solves that pretty nicely.

The issue is that you seem to think even shitty service is still entitled to a tip, which isn't the case.

The problem is the shitty service. If you want better service you have to talk to the manager. There are people who don't ever tip no matter the service so not tipping doesn't send the message you think it does. You can do both but not talking to the manager means nothing gets fixed.

If it's just one or two times, there's not really any point to "sending a message." Tipping is a reward for good service. If somebody gives shitty service, you just don't tip them. If they do it continuously/it becomes a problem, then you raise it to the manager, sure.

You're making this out to be a bigger deal than it is.

I've only ever not tipped someone four times, and all four were people blatantly not doing their job and/or doing something so fucking dumb that the guy should have been fired on the spot.

Two nights ago I ordered a pizza, with a specific "Please don't ring my doorbell, family asleep" note on my file. I ordered online, so there is no possible way for a miscommunication to happen here. The idiot shows up, mashes on my doorbell, and then just walks in my house when I didn't show up within three seconds. If you think I'm a bad person for not tipping that asshole and then getting him fired for doing it, fuck you.


Just in case you have him on ignore

These days with all the options for food in even the smallest of towns finding a new place should be pretty easy too.

I mean, these things don't have to be mutually exclusive with not tipping the guy, in any case.

You can always not tip the guy and find a new place or not tip the guy and inform the management

Better to have more bases covered than less.
