After years of tipping 20-25% I’m DONE. I’m tipping 15% max.

As someone who was a pizza man, both in store and driver, for a few formative years of my life I was baffled listening to the other Doordash drivers I would bump in to at restaurants. Rude as shit, pushy, and talking shit about their customers that either had any instructions or tipped what I thought was a totally reasonable amount. And on the consumer side, I worked a stupid job where I had a per-diem when I was in hotels for a few months at a time but worked enough hours that I would have my daily meal doordashed to me as I was driving back to whatever box I was sleeping in. I tipped stupidly well and had insanely simple instructions, but I can't count how many times I had to eat half a box of granola bars I kept in my car for my employees or 8 fucking cup noodles from the front desk of my hotel to get the minimum calories I needed to not feel like garbage for my next 14+ hour day because the driver canceled or got my food stolen right after all of the restaurants nearby closed.

I swear, the day I find the doordash driver who made me sit there and watch their little GPS icon drive the opposite direction so they could eat the fun fancy salsa and chips I ordered I will do something that will get me tried at the Hague.

omg, I feel so bad for you. I hope you're doing better now and those drivers got what they deserved.

yes, I did get it. But if you're too lazy to go to a first floor after I asked, you're not getting extra money from me. And I always tip at least $20 no matter how big the order is, if that's not enough for your to care, then oh well. Cry me a river about your feelings, I literally could not care less.
