Just finished a DoorDash delivery and I’m honestly sitting here shaking my head. Like do people seriously think $20 is some life changing tip where you gotta leave me a note along with the tip saying “hope this was enough” Drove across town, dealt with traffic, waited at the restaurant while they took forever finishing the order, and then had to find this person’s apartment in one of those complexes where NONE of the buildings are labeled clearly. Finally get the food to the door… and the customer left a $20 tip. Now before everyone jumps down my throat yes, I saw it. Yes, I know some people think that’s “good.” But when you actually break it down with gas, time, wear on your car, waiting around at restaurants, and driving all the way across town… it really isn’t what people think it is. People think throwing $20 on an order automatically means the driver should be doing backflips with gratitude, but they don’t see the hour it took to complete the delivery or the miles put on the car just to make it happen. Meanwhile people ordering food expect VIP service, constant updates, perfect timing, hot food, and their door found in a maze of apartment buildings but drivers are supposed to just smile and accept whatever comes through the app like it’s the greatest thing ever. Maybe I’m the only one who feels this way, but sometimes it feels like people don’t realize how much actually goes into these deliveries. Next time maybe tip accordingly and leave out the little sorry note
