Current Events > Entitled customer complains that a luxury service 'has cost too much to add tip'

(+) Yeah! (+)

I thought this was going to be something like something with an automatic gratuity at an expensive store. Bitch, you're getting Doordash. Call The shop ahead of time to arrange a pickup, or pay somebody a gratuity to deliver it for you. If you don't want to pay the tip, don't order.

Or the places could hire their own drivers with all those fees

you already pay a delivery fee in order to cover the fee of having it delivered. any tip is automatically pointless

Or people can not be lazy and pick up their own food.

not everyone has a car
pretty much the only time I order delivery is when Im drunk because of the ridiculous prices now. Should I just drive instead?

smdh if you want delivery you better tip and tip good

Delivery fee doesnt go to the driver though.

You can cook.

and greedy CEOs can pay their employees a living wage

They can but they won't. So either do something to help the cause or find an alternative.

I did find an alternative, I pretty much never order from restaurants anymore.

Not how that works. It's not the consumers responsibility to find an alternative just because you feel there's a moral obligation to.

The only thing the consumer is actually responsible to pay for is the price set by company. Not anything more, not anything less.

Regardless of how much you feel one has a moral obligation to foot an extra charge for a companies payroll, tips are 100% are not actually required by the consumer.

Tipping culture is exploitative and repulsive. If delivery is going to cost $10, just say upfront that delivery costs $10.

Tonight, I am going to order an Indian takeaway from a local restaurant. There is no delivery fee (just a minimum purchase), and the driver (a guy called Ray) does not take payments.

No one is entitled to a tip. Look at your employer for shitty wages.

If the company built in the price of the tip then you guys would complain the company is making tips mandatory, so that's why it's honestly insincere when you guys say it's not your problem it's the company's problem

Okay that's cool. So you say you "pretty much never order from restaurants anymore". Then what do you do for you to eat?

the tips are mandatory if you want to actually get your food since places dont even have their own delivery drivers you can call and complain about anymore

I have no problem with tipping culture.

Even theoretically if your food doesn't reach its destination, the customer can get their money back. Uber/DD/GH drivers can't actually just have repeated reported offenses of food not reaching the customer.

who's even going to take an order with a $0 tip listed?

that's the other problem with it. you have to 'tip' before you even get your food. it's just another delivery fee, not a tip

Most delivery services dont even let the drivers know if there is a tip or not until after they deliver for this exact reason.

cooking while drunk is a bad idea you can burn the food or hurt yourself

Idk what company you are using to get your shit delivered, but I have never seen whatever the fuck you are talking about.

Like someone else in this topic pointed out, many companies don't even show you what the tip is until after the delivery.

Second, not everyone acts like they are entitled to a tip from the customer instead of their employer.

I have seen no successful company that makes you tip before you get your food.

Pretty sure Doordash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats give customers the option of tipping at order creation and once the order us sent to a driver they can see up front what the tip would be. They do this to entice drivers to accept the order, because without the incentive being known up front the driver is less likely to accept it. The only caveat to that is the customer still retains the ability to alter the tip amount even after receiving the delivery.

The option to to tip early is not your final tip as you admit in your own post.

Which even more so is beyond the point that orders are still accepted even if an initial "no tip" order is on the table. Like I said, those apps absolutely do not make you tip.

sorry, dont think Im gonna take the anecdotal experience from someone who doesnt even use the service lol
