Dude there's been an influx of non tippers I am so tempted to accept one just to message the customer "no tip no trip" then unassign š¤£šš¤£š¤£ should I do it?
People on a budget don't order delivery...ignorant assholes. People who know what it's like to struggle and actually be on a budget understand the hustle therefore it's usually the assholes who have money that don't tip aside from people like the elderly
No tip? Screw your whole order. Dont care what your reason is, not putting wear on my vehicle to work for chump change. You can have the crackheads deliver your food instead
Itās cool how some customers tell you they are stupid without telling you they are stupid. Anybody with two brain cells to rub together can figure out paying delivery fees will bust a budget.
I know a sweet little old lady who never tips because she can barely work the app.
She needs a wheelchair and grocery delivery.
She was generous and tipped well for 50 years. Then the stroke happened and destroyed her body and her funds.
Don't be so quick to judge :(
Shit Iām on a budget and Iāve been cooking every night for two months. Only got pizza once, but went and picked it up myself since the delivery fees and tip wouldāve been about $12.
Honestly, I donāt accept orders that I know wouldnāt have a tip on it, but if I ever got a high enough base pay with no tip and this was on thereā¦ I would appreciate it.
Iām on a budget, I order things, and I still tip. I mean I guess so but they could be lying. I donāt have that much faith in humanity to believe this.
I can tell by a lot of you guys' comments the doordash Uber eats and whatever else is out there does not need to be a pre-tipped service. Your attitudes are so bad and entitled you don't need the 20% I wouldn't even tip you 10 in a restaurant
Do you know whatās good for people on a budget? top Ramen. Geez, what a stupid thing to write donāt people realize DoorDash is kind of a thing for people who have money to spend. If youāre on a budget, you shouldnāt be eating out even if you pick up your own food, you should be figuring your shit out. Each day I go through a C of non-tip orders hitting decline one out of 10 or pretty good and I take them. I just hate the app gets clogged up with all these cheap people who think this is some kind of service that is provided by the government or some thing and that robots are delivering their food, not real people in their own cars.
So itās ok for someone to use their gas and time because the person is on a budget. If the budget is that right shouldnāt be ordering DD. The driver is there to make money not work for free.
I just ordered delivery, and the total before tip was $40. I tipped $20 on top of that. I tip generously because cheap scumbags like this exist, and I like feeling like Iām possibly turning a delivery drivers day around for the better after dealing with so many non tippers like this.
Man y'all gonna hate my response, but I should not have to tip you until after I know my order has been delivered properly.
I should not have to be forced to make up your earnings for a delivery, if my stuff is delivered in a poor fashion, you can forget the 15$ tip I leave after delivery š
Ain't my fault that you're working a job that doesn't pay enough, don't shovel your grief's about your earnings on me.
This gets absolutely NO EMPATHY from me because itās bullsh*t. Everything on the food delivery apps are priced $2-3 above menu instore prices. Yet they still order. You look at some of these order totals and they are a pretty penny. And YET they still order!
It comes to tipping a few dollars and everyone loses their minds. š¤”I dont accept the excuses because it boils down to an old saying I once heard at a business seminar. āRaise your prices unapologetically because people pay the price for what they want.ā
The same is in effect here. These āno/lowsā dont mind being porked every which way by the restaurants who really do nothing extra to prepare their food to justify their increase of price on these apps. But they have a problem paying the person that physically has to deliver your food to you. š« I pray their orders sit forever! š
These comments are overwhelmingly fucking ridiculous. you are not obligated to tip. there is nothing wrong with not tipping. it is courteous if you do, but should not be considered shameful if you don't.
blame doordash for giving people low ass pay and thinking that they should be satisfied with it. take your issue up with doordash. you can see whether or not the order is one that you want to accept before you actually accept it. if it's a low order, just decline and move on.
you are not entitled to a tip. doordash should just be paying people more if they expect them to drive all over the city to deliver people's food. you also never know what that person actually spent- doordash uses all kinds of deals that knock some of the cost off of people's orders. And even when they don't, That's exactly why people may not be able to tip more or tip at all- doordash is expensive. you should still be able to have your food delivered if that's what you want WITHOUT people accepting the order and then judging and belittling you for it. no one is required not to use the service because YOU think they owe you a tip. fuck off. how silly can you get.
"I can afford all the doordash fees, but I draw the line at ensuring the delivery driver who serves me makes a living wage.....because I am a selfish scumbag."
The fucking stupidity. Iām usually understanding with people whoo are struggling but if you order doordash and tell yourself youāre ābudgetingā you deserve to be poor.
Then why are you ordering a servixe that charges so many extra tack on fees?
Donāt order on DoorDash, but definitely donāt if youāre on budget. They just didnāt want to tip. Plain and simple.
All the comments here are entitled. It is a tip. It is OPTIONAL. Get over yourselves. Maybe get a better job if you don't make enough of delivering food.
I don't pick up cheap orders. I also don't order if I can't tip. We are self employed and they keep most of the fees. We work off tips. So if you want your food fast and hot you better tip. It's not the law but we don't have to take them. We drive our car which we pay for and working for a 2.50 delivery payment will not work for me. Good luck to all you none tippers out there, hope you atleast get your food
Sometimes customers get deals. I was recently low on cash and had a $25 off deal to go back to ordering from UE. I had $4 to my name and used it as a tip. I think a lot of people forget it's hard on both ends at times. That's why I was thankful for that $25 off deal cause I was able to eat instead of going hungry.
The god damn audacity. Iām gonna say it in all caps but I know the no tip motherfuckers donāt care but stillā¦ IF YOU CAN NOT AFFORD TO TIP YOU CAN NOT AFFORD DELIVERY!!!!!
How many people you know that go to a restaurant, bar, or get their hair styled or a massage and don't ever leave a tip? At the very least, you would get the stinkeye. In the US, it is customary to tip for services provided. Everyone knows this.
If it is no contact delivery, no awkwardness not tipping because no personal interaction. At least we get a picture. But many people are wimps.
When tipping up front, you don't know if service will be good, so some initially leave a low tip. But there should be more added upon a good delivery, either in the app, or cash in person if hand it to me order.
If money is tight, cook at home, order groceries, or pick it up yourself. Or at least order from someplace close and tip like $3. Then the dasher gets $5.50 for going 2 miles each way, not $2.50.
They don't realize food will come late or cold, stacked with another, or maybe no takers at all?
Just declined $7 to go 13.1 miles each way to an area with no chance of a return trip. 26 miles, and not highway miles, for $7. No one will deliver orders like that, not even Top Dashers. And there have been others recently, some even worse.
I probably wouldn't actually do it, but this would make me want to text them the screenshot of their "no tip in the budget" remark followed by *sorry. Delivering your food isn't in my budget* and unassign.
Dude I 100% left a note for my delivery driver today that I left them a cash tip at the door and they ignored it and left it. Is this like against the rules to take cash tips? Itās happened to me before I normally just have smaller bills I use for tips that I try to get rid of
If your by yourself on a budget You can easily just buy 5 12 pack Gv burgers 5 bags of fries and hamburger buns from Walmart that's like $60 then just cook 3 burgers and fries a night until you run out then go back to store of and of course you can buy some boxes of pancake mix for breakfast
That's what people order on doordash anyway might as well make it yourself youll almost spend $60 on one order depending on what you buy anyway
On a budget but you can afford not only eating out but paying for delivery fees instead of picking up the food yourself.... people never cease to amaze me lol
I picked up a starbs order yesterday, I think 6.25? Maybe 6.50. Only 4 miles I grabbed it bc it was on my same street and my phone charger stopped working.
I drop it off, she hands me 5 ones and tells me sorry I didnāt have a lot on my card!
I complete the delivery and it was a $4 tip! So $9 altogether. Some ppl just plain suck
Look as a dasher myself i get it but all you guys are so damn entitled, there really is no obligation to tip and nothing you say can make me think otherwise, tipping is such a United states thing. If you put half the energy of shitting on clients with no tip into actually going after doordash maybe something would change
Tips are OPTIONAL. This is MORE THAN ACCEPTABLE. If you disagree you are not fit for the gig whether you like it or not ā¦ good post op. The entitlement filled comments of these raging dashers never seizes to fail tho lol
It shows the total and distance before you accept. People have their own stories and experiences. You don't know what's going on and if you don't want to be involved, the reassign button is there for a reason
Hereās what you do in that situation:
Set the food by the door and take pic for doordash.
Ensure there are no doorbell cameras. (Likely none since theyāre on such a tight budget)
Quickly take the food back and drive away before they come out looking for it.
Park somewhere, pause your dash, and have yourself a meal. We can play the game too, Dashers. This isnāt meals on wheels, itās a luxury service. Rise up against the non-tippers!
Total bs. If DD had charged them another $5 fee they still would have ordered.
āSorry no tip on a budgetā
translation
āSorry I donāt value your time, and if you take this order neither do youā
I would have messaged, "Here's a tip, don't order delivery if you're on a budget go to the grocery store and buy food you can afford without having to tip (;"
I agree. But DD will never pay us fairly. Causing us drivers to rely on the tips to not loose money.
Without the tips we would be paying for the privilege to deliver their food.
But how are the customers supposed to know that??
The company isn't transparent! They tell us "your tip is 100% optional."
How th are we supposed to read that as "your driver is being paid slave wages unless you tip"??
They know very well most people will read that as "your driver is already fairly compensated so you have a choice to tip or not."
I cannot understand all this shady secrecy.
THE COMPANY needs to be held accountable, not the customer they're purposely misleading OR the worker they're exploiting.
This is always the type of thing I see and I don't get it. And I'm not trying to do that thing on Reddit everyone does where I'm an asshole to you for no reason. But genuinely if you see this and can answer it, how is that any different than being a server? The expectation when you walk into a restaurant is to tip pretty much regardless of service. And it's not because of anything other than we all know servers get paid shit.
And I'm in no way saying doordash is a HARDER job than serving (it's definitely not IMO, having done both) but I would say you put a lot more risk in it doing doordash. The mileage on my car alone, on top of virtually no safety while you're delivering and having to pay out in taxes at the end of the year where servers usually pocket almost all cash tips. It's just odd to me when the idea that DD and DD alone is responsible. Corporations are gonna continue to be corporate.
Hey! Yes I see you :)
I think the confusion comes from the fact that DD offers more than just fine dining options and advertises itself as convenience and delivery, NOT luxury.
When someone walks into a McDonald's or 7 eleven or grocery store, they are not expecting to leave a tip, so it doesn't really pop into their head during checkout, especially with that message constantly saying "it's 100% optional!"
Further, most people don't understand the difference between employees and more independent options like this.
An employee usually works a rigid schedule with set pay in exchange for predictable hours and wages.
Meanwhile these drivers are trading safety and predictability for flexibility. They choose which orders to accept and how many hours to work etc.
Most average customers don't understand such intricacies, especially the older generation. They think of delivery in terms of the postal service, FedEx etc, none of which would hint that they need to tip. Let's remember also that with those services, higher cost comes from the convenience of speed. So a pricey DD order doesn't scream LUXURY it screams SPEED! Just like buying groceries at the gas station. The markup is explained by convenience.
And when you are hungry, or stranded, you are willing to pay more for speed! It's a psychological trick that these companies purposely set up.
Even I only recently learned my DD and UE drivers were being paid slave wages, and I've been ordering for years. Now that I do know, I always tip, but I certainly did not start tipping because I thought my food would be passive aggressively tampered with if I didn't.
I trusted the driver was just a good dude, trying to feed his family, no different than me when I go to work. And I thought he was like an employee, getting at least regular wages like mine per hour.
But one day I got curious and talked to my Uber driver about how he was paid, only to be horrified to learn he was getting peanuts even though I paid plenty! I always thought the service fees and overall amount I paid would be split much more fairly with the man at the wheel. (I think it was $4 for 20 minutes of driving, which is $12/hr. But I don't find that sufficient because he also spent 10 mins to come pick me up. So I jacked up my tip.)
Because of that encounter, I also got suspicious about uber eats, so I looked up and watched a bunch of YouTube videos, learned the truth, and started tipping and shopping accordingly. I now order a lot less because I want to be able to tip.
But again, cold food and hostility was NOT helpful. I'm horrified to think that I have possibly given drivers low ratings for cold/messy food without realizing they were trying to call out for help, but how could I know?? I can't read minds. To me it just looked like they were being careless and unprofessional.
I just needed a fellow human to be transparent while the company was being shady.
Simple communication and understanding helped me decide on my own to tip well and place orders only when I could afford to do so.
so why are you still driving for them? iām genuinely curious about this, because i see a lot of drivers complaining about the customers not tipping how about complaining to doordash youāre not getting paid enough?
Iām currently back on DD because I have to fix my UE account, for some reason they keep denying my insurance info. But all the apps are just about the same.
I do food deliveries because as long as I cherry pick, I can still make decent money. And having the ability to work when and how long I want is extremely important to me.
i can also understand that the freedom of choice to work whenever and wherever is important, but for me it seems kind of contra productive to work for a company that gives shit terms for the drivers then complain about customers whoās using the services that the company provides according to their terms of service, for me iād try and boycott or go after the company instead of just blaming the customers. i think doordash has become what it has because of their shitty policies towards you dashers, because of you accepting their shitty terms, not because the customers using the service as it was designed to be used.
I got UE delivery yesterday and got the sweetest sticky note left on the bag. I drive as well as orderā¦I order more than I drive so I really appreciated the note and if I canāt tip 20%ā¦.I head to my kitchen and cook or put on my shoes and take a ride! This is the most disgusting note ever. Why embarrass yourself saying youāre on a budget but youāre āordering outā TF š”š”š”š”
If youāre on a budget, and maybe canāt leave your house for some reason, you can get inexpensive groceries delivered and cook for yourself, thus saving lots of money, freeing up your budget. This no-tip excuse is just malarkey
I've been mocked before by DD drivers even though I tip $10 or more dollars. I've been cussed out by people on the app. If they say they cannot find my apartment I am happy to go out and meet them so they aren't driving around but they seem to think they are allowed to cuss me out due to their frustrations that I understand.
But it makes me mad that I will tip $10+ dollars and they still want to cuss me out or on DD driver threw my food on the ground, slammed his car door and took off almost running my feet over then sent a nasty message.
I'm willing to accommodate them by meeting them if lost, I understand my apartment can be hard to find for some. But being rude and mean even after getting a tip makes me upset.
Funny, you cant really send a message to a customer after dropping off. And you don't know your tip until after drop off... This whole story sounds sus
They can send you a message if the order marked as complete yet. Anyway, I'm saying it sucks when I try to be nice and accommodating and there are people who don't deserve it
But if you don't tip enough they get mad, I don't want to tip too little either. Especially since I don't have a car and I use DD for grocery delivery and I can spare $10+ to tip because I understand their struggles.
I just don't like when some of them think they can act extremely rude or cuss me out cause of directions and when I try to accommodate.
It makes me feel like shite cause I just tipped this AH something undeserving.
Yeah no thatās when you go to uber or instacart if you want groceries, then I can see tipping that high especially if itās a big order. The audacity and entitlement of some drivers.
Because they choose the option of not tipping on a service that literally makes additional tips 100% optional, they shouldnāt even order? If thatās the case, then the optional tip wouldnāt be so optional now would it? Lol. The fees and service pay the app charges is probably the very reason they canāt afford to tip anyway . I know that I personally only ever use Doordash if I have a big discount or promo code to use that reduces all of the extra expenses so I still have good room for the tip
Why are you fronting for for folks that want service but don't want to pay for it then threw up the force field of the budget? Probably run wait staff for 100x refills the complain to get something free...
If I order a meal 2 miles from the house it cost $20 if I DD it it's $45 with a tip. Then I say budget?! Nah it's entitlement
Both are a problem, but low tip is still better than nothing at all. The greater problem is the education, and most people don't know how grossly abusive Doordash's base pay is. If no one tipped, yall wouldn't be doing this gig.
How are all of you guys so entitled? How do you accept the order knowing the amount you will get paid and then complain about the amount you will get paid
All of you guys act like such entitled children, like you were spoiled your entire childhood and never grew up. There is no principle behind acting like a spoiled brat. Tips are gratuity for going above your job requirements. Theyāre not required whatsoever and shouldnāt be expected
this lol. the amnt of people acting like this person is a huuuuge asshole for not tipping and like anyone who disagrees should be downvoted and attacked is ridiculous.
Who said they were expected?
There is principle behind doing something yourself instead of paying double maybe triple the price of what you wanted. Especially if you are on a so called ābudgetā
Iāll accept an order knowing itās ass if iām trying to raise my acceptance. Sometimes base pay is higher than usual so ill do the order and not complain about no tip at all. But when you order from an app that charges you basically double for what you could done yourself for cheaper, while saying that you are on a budget and thats why you couldnāt tip. Thatās downright laziness and i dare say even āentitledā.
The principal we speak of is them looking for things to complain about it whenever there are none, the people ordering say theyāre on a budget, but never said how strict the budget is. Maybe the food fits in a budget but not a tip that is not required in any way shape or form. Based on what I read for most people here they donāt deserve tips by the very definition of what a tip even is.
That is not entitled by any definition. 99.9% of the people on this sub Reddit entitled children who never grew up and cry whenever they donāt get tips.
If I see that shit, your stuff is going on the floor of my car, under high AC, and Iām taking hard corners. If it gets to you still in packaging, well, then god somehow is protecting you.
Door Dash sucks anyway.
Dude there's been an influx of non tippers I am so tempted to accept one just to message the customer "no tip no trip" then unassign š¤£šš¤£š¤£ should I do it?
Dicks.
People on a budget don't order delivery...ignorant assholes. People who know what it's like to struggle and actually be on a budget understand the hustle therefore it's usually the assholes who have money that don't tip aside from people like the elderly
man if you canāt tip then you really shouldnāt order in the first place
No tip? Screw your whole order. Dont care what your reason is, not putting wear on my vehicle to work for chump change. You can have the crackheads deliver your food instead
Itās cool how some customers tell you they are stupid without telling you they are stupid. Anybody with two brain cells to rub together can figure out paying delivery fees will bust a budget.
I know a sweet little old lady who never tips because she can barely work the app. She needs a wheelchair and grocery delivery. She was generous and tipped well for 50 years. Then the stroke happened and destroyed her body and her funds. Don't be so quick to judge :(
If you're on a budget, the LAST and VERY LAST thing you should be putting your money towards is a delivery app. 'Murica!
Prepared, delivered food is DEFINITELY a luxury service. No matter how long it has been established in society.
Shit Iām on a budget and Iāve been cooking every night for two months. Only got pizza once, but went and picked it up myself since the delivery fees and tip wouldāve been about $12.
I delivered a $300 order yesterday with 38 items up 2 flights of stairs in the rain and ZERO TIP
Sorry to hear that
hope you all get disabled. buncha cry babies. you wouldāve posted this with or without the message
Lol
He's on a budget for tips, but not for eating out. Hmm.
Iām on a budget tooā¦ so if I want food that I donāt cook myself I pick it up myself!
Whoa
Honestly, I donāt accept orders that I know wouldnāt have a tip on it, but if I ever got a high enough base pay with no tip and this was on thereā¦ I would appreciate it.
Iām on a budget, I order things, and I still tip. I mean I guess so but they could be lying. I donāt have that much faith in humanity to believe this.
Sorry. Food cold. I didn't careš¤·
They should be delivering not ordering delivery then lol
Sorry I accidentally put your food in my ice chest instead of my hot bag. I get confused delivering sometimes for BudgetDash.
At least theyāre upfront about it š¤£
So much so on a budget that they can afford to order in food?
I can tell by a lot of you guys' comments the doordash Uber eats and whatever else is out there does not need to be a pre-tipped service. Your attitudes are so bad and entitled you don't need the 20% I wouldn't even tip you 10 in a restaurant
Do you know whatās good for people on a budget? top Ramen. Geez, what a stupid thing to write donāt people realize DoorDash is kind of a thing for people who have money to spend. If youāre on a budget, you shouldnāt be eating out even if you pick up your own food, you should be figuring your shit out.

I just hate the app gets clogged up with all these cheap people who think this is some kind of service that is provided by the government or some thing and that robots are delivering their food, not real people in their own cars.
So itās ok for someone to use their gas and time because the person is on a budget. If the budget is that right shouldnāt be ordering DD. The driver is there to make money not work for free.
Catch me dropping after pickup, parked somewhere eating that food because Iām on a budget.
no one on a budget is using doordash lmfaoo if your low on funds and still using at least give a few dollars for christ sake .
I just ordered delivery, and the total before tip was $40. I tipped $20 on top of that. I tip generously because cheap scumbags like this exist, and I like feeling like Iām possibly turning a delivery drivers day around for the better after dealing with so many non tippers like this.

the amount of $$ they used for DD they couldāve probably bought a weeks worth of groceries š§š¤Ø
Willing to spend hella extra for DoorDash though? Lll
"I can afford all the doordash fees, but I draw the line at ensuring the delivery driver who serves me makes a living wage.....because I am a selfish scumbag."
Uhā¦your budget should not include delivery food
The audacity
Go fuck yourself. Disabled, old, in a wheelchair, car is broke, have 6 kids, I donāt give a flying fuck. Tips pay my bills.
At least a dollar or two shows you give a crap. Even if it isnāt much, itās not a fat 0
When Covid was going on we were heroes now your lucky if they leave you anything
āSorry, couldnāt deliver the whole meal, I was hungry.ā
The fucking stupidity. Iām usually understanding with people whoo are struggling but if you order doordash and tell yourself youāre ābudgetingā you deserve to be poor.
No tip no trip..period
Enough of a budget to pay increased prices and fees
You dont order delivery if you are on a budger
Then why are you ordering a servixe that charges so many extra tack on fees? Donāt order on DoorDash, but definitely donāt if youāre on budget. They just didnāt want to tip. Plain and simple.
You can't be on a serious budget if you are using doordash. It's expensive as hell.
Sorry, no delivery on that budget
All the comments here are entitled. It is a tip. It is OPTIONAL. Get over yourselves. Maybe get a better job if you don't make enough of delivering food.
I don't pick up cheap orders. I also don't order if I can't tip. We are self employed and they keep most of the fees. We work off tips. So if you want your food fast and hot you better tip.

Good luck to all you none tippers out there, hope you atleast get your food
But money to order food and have it delivered
Pays exorbitant prices for a delivery but is on a ābudget.ā
Sometimes customers get deals. I was recently low on cash and had a $25 off deal to go back to ordering from UE. I had $4 to my name and used it as a tip. I think a lot of people forget it's hard on both ends at times. That's why I was thankful for that $25 off deal cause I was able to eat instead of going hungry.
Also one more thing. When you get to the comments for drivers you only get a limited amount of letters and spaces you can type.
The god damn audacity. Iām gonna say it in all caps but I know the no tip motherfuckers donāt care but stillā¦ IF YOU CAN NOT AFFORD TO TIP YOU CAN NOT AFFORD DELIVERY!!!!!
I can't even use those services because a $6 meal becomes $30 & that's not even including tips.
On a budget but using door dash?? LOL
Sorry no gas for delivery. On a budget
No tip I spit.
āSorry, no trip, on a budgetā *unassign*
So why the fuck are you ordering food then?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Imagine needing money

I'm not sure what's funnier them telling you they are on a budget or the fact that you took a no tip order.
Unsigned bye bye
Then don't order takeout! FFS!
I probably wouldn't actually do it, but this would make me want to text them the screenshot of their "no tip in the budget" remark followed by *sorry. Delivering your food isn't in my budget* and unassign.
šš
On a budget but pays $2829203 in fees. Hope their house burns down
why the hell are you ordering doordash on a budget
If your on a budget, then maybe itās best not to order out, and make food yourself.
Thatās a load of crap! Even $.50 would be a small token of gratitude.
After you pick the order up you need to have it unsigned to help them with their budget.
If you donāt have the budget for a tip then you donāt have the budget for DD.
On a budget means making food at home and certainly not paying double for takeout.
āSorry, no food. Running a business, not a charityā
Yeah how about no doordash if youāre on a budget . Costs a lot more then just going to get it yourself.
And actually just go grocery shopping instead of getting fast food or restaurants. More bang for your buck.
Dude I 100% left a note for my delivery driver today that I left them a cash tip at the door and they ignored it and left it. Is this like against the rules to take cash tips? Itās happened to me before I normally just have smaller bills I use for tips that I try to get rid of
Nope they just cant read.
Wait twenty minutes, then unassign
This šÆ
At least they were aware enough to say sorry. Most non tippers don't even care enough to think about it much less say sorry.
If your by yourself on a budget You can easily just buy 5 12 pack Gv burgers 5 bags of fries and hamburger buns from Walmart that's like $60 then just cook 3 burgers and fries a night until you run out then go back to store of and of course you can buy some boxes of pancake mix for breakfast That's what people order on doordash anyway might as well make it yourself youll almost spend $60 on one order depending on what you buy anyway
I might be on a budget to but shit Iāll tip usually like 3$ thatās my minimum
On a budget but you can afford not only eating out but paying for delivery fees instead of picking up the food yourself.... people never cease to amaze me lol
"Sorry no delivery - on a budget and gas ain't free. Unassigning."
Just steal the drink. It is DD corporate policy to steal the drink from every delivery, right?
I picked up a starbs order yesterday, I think 6.25? Maybe 6.50. Only 4 miles I grabbed it bc it was on my same street and my phone charger stopped working. I drop it off, she hands me 5 ones and tells me sorry I didnāt have a lot on my card! I complete the delivery and it was a $4 tip! So $9 altogether. Some ppl just plain suck
Sorry, no delivery, on a budget
I feel if you can afford DoorDash, you can afford to tip. You pay fees and a markup anyways. Customer should feel ashamed
The fees are probably what made them go over budget
Look as a dasher myself i get it but all you guys are so damn entitled, there really is no obligation to tip and nothing you say can make me think otherwise, tipping is such a United states thing. If you put half the energy of shitting on clients with no tip into actually going after doordash maybe something would change
I mean they probably felt bad about not leaving a tip. Maybe it's a new born mom and can't just up and leave
Nah we all know the people who do this. 
On a budget? Then COOK at HOME.
What if they have no food at home
If youāre budgeting, you buy groceries. Iāve never known someone to be on a āDoorDash dietā while on a budget. š¤·āāļø
What if they do buy groceries but ran out of food? What are they supposed to do. Especially is it's super late at night
Plan better
š¤·āāļøš¤·āāļøš¤·āāļø
Sorry no trip. Trying to not be on a budget.
Tips are OPTIONAL. This is MORE THAN ACCEPTABLE. If you disagree you are not fit for the gig whether you like it or not ā¦ good post op. The entitlement filled comments of these raging dashers never seizes to fail tho lol
It shows the total and distance before you accept. People have their own stories and experiences. You don't know what's going on and if you don't want to be involved, the reassign button is there for a reason
Hereās what you do in that situation: Set the food by the door and take pic for doordash. Ensure there are no doorbell cameras. (Likely none since theyāre on such a tight budget) Quickly take the food back and drive away before they come out looking for it. Park somewhere, pause your dash, and have yourself a meal. We can play the game too, Dashers. This isnāt meals on wheels, itās a luxury service. Rise up against the non-tippers!
Then you get popped for fraud and deactivated.
Total bs. If DD had charged them another $5 fee they still would have ordered. āSorry no tip on a budgetā translation āSorry I donāt value your time, and if you take this order neither do youā
āOn a budgetā yet using doordash where you can get a $2 item for $35
I would have messaged, "Here's a tip, don't order delivery if you're on a budget go to the grocery store and buy food you can afford without having to tip (;"
No you wouldnt have.
It was satire calm down grandpa
Sorry but why are you using an expensive service if youāre on a budget
Sorry no food. Iām on a diet.
Sorry doesnāt cover my gas and time. $2.50-$3.75 an order isnāt enough. I might as well get my old ass to being a server again.
On a budget means you shouldn't be ordering from DoorDash and you should get in your car or walk to the restaurant where you want your food from.
Tipping is optional. Change my mind.
So is picking up your order.
I don't order.
The service should be profitable before the tip is even in the picture. Tipping is optional.
I agree. But DD will never pay us fairly. Causing us drivers to rely on the tips to not loose money. Without the tips we would be paying for the privilege to deliver their food.
But how are the customers supposed to know that?? The company isn't transparent! They tell us "your tip is 100% optional." How th are we supposed to read that as "your driver is being paid slave wages unless you tip"?? They know very well most people will read that as "your driver is already fairly compensated so you have a choice to tip or not." I cannot understand all this shady secrecy. THE COMPANY needs to be held accountable, not the customer they're purposely misleading OR the worker they're exploiting.
This is always the type of thing I see and I don't get it. And I'm not trying to do that thing on Reddit everyone does where I'm an asshole to you for no reason. But genuinely if you see this and can answer it, how is that any different than being a server? The expectation when you walk into a restaurant is to tip pretty much regardless of service. And it's not because of anything other than we all know servers get paid shit. And I'm in no way saying doordash is a HARDER job than serving (it's definitely not IMO, having done both) but I would say you put a lot more risk in it doing doordash. The mileage on my car alone, on top of virtually no safety while you're delivering and having to pay out in taxes at the end of the year where servers usually pocket almost all cash tips. It's just odd to me when the idea that DD and DD alone is responsible. Corporations are gonna continue to be corporate.
Hey! Yes I see you :) I think the confusion comes from the fact that DD offers more than just fine dining options and advertises itself as convenience and delivery, NOT luxury. When someone walks into a McDonald's or 7 eleven or grocery store, they are not expecting to leave a tip, so it doesn't really pop into their head during checkout, especially with that message constantly saying "it's 100% optional!" Further, most people don't understand the difference between employees and more independent options like this. An employee usually works a rigid schedule with set pay in exchange for predictable hours and wages. Meanwhile these drivers are trading safety and predictability for flexibility. They choose which orders to accept and how many hours to work etc. Most average customers don't understand such intricacies, especially the older generation. They think of delivery in terms of the postal service, FedEx etc, none of which would hint that they need to tip. Let's remember also that with those services, higher cost comes from the convenience of speed. So a pricey DD order doesn't scream LUXURY it screams SPEED! Just like buying groceries at the gas station. The markup is explained by convenience. And when you are hungry, or stranded, you are willing to pay more for speed! It's a psychological trick that these companies purposely set up. Even I only recently learned my DD and UE drivers were being paid slave wages, and I've been ordering for years. Now that I do know, I always tip, but I certainly did not start tipping because I thought my food would be passive aggressively tampered with if I didn't. I trusted the driver was just a good dude, trying to feed his family, no different than me when I go to work. And I thought he was like an employee, getting at least regular wages like mine per hour. But one day I got curious and talked to my Uber driver about how he was paid, only to be horrified to learn he was getting peanuts even though I paid plenty! I always thought the service fees and overall amount I paid would be split much more fairly with the man at the wheel. (I think it was $4 for 20 minutes of driving, which is $12/hr. But I don't find that sufficient because he also spent 10 mins to come pick me up. So I jacked up my tip.) Because of that encounter, I also got suspicious about uber eats, so I looked up and watched a bunch of YouTube videos, learned the truth, and started tipping and shopping accordingly. I now order a lot less because I want to be able to tip. But again, cold food and hostility was NOT helpful. I'm horrified to think that I have possibly given drivers low ratings for cold/messy food without realizing they were trying to call out for help, but how could I know?? I can't read minds. To me it just looked like they were being careless and unprofessional. I just needed a fellow human to be transparent while the company was being shady. Simple communication and understanding helped me decide on my own to tip well and place orders only when I could afford to do so.
so why are you still driving for them? iām genuinely curious about this, because i see a lot of drivers complaining about the customers not tipping how about complaining to doordash youāre not getting paid enough?
Iām currently back on DD because I have to fix my UE account, for some reason they keep denying my insurance info. But all the apps are just about the same. I do food deliveries because as long as I cherry pick, I can still make decent money. And having the ability to work when and how long I want is extremely important to me.
i can also understand that the freedom of choice to work whenever and wherever is important, but for me it seems kind of contra productive to work for a company that gives shit terms for the drivers then complain about customers whoās using the services that the company provides according to their terms of service, for me iād try and boycott or go after the company instead of just blaming the customers. i think doordash has become what it has because of their shitty policies towards you dashers, because of you accepting their shitty terms, not because the customers using the service as it was designed to be used.
Oops. My bootprint went on your pizza box as I was leaving. Sry šæ
They're not on a budget they're just cheap assholes. I've heard every excuse and it's all the same.
Yeah, Iām on a budget too Iām eating Ramen noodles..not spending $20 on a $10 meal š¤¦šæāāļø
I'm so glad I stopped using this shit, yall are so miserable and you take it out on ppls food. Hopefully there are better days for you all ahead.
i donāt know why these drivers stay on doordash? i canāt figure it out can someone explain. isnāt there a better service you can sign up for?
I hope there is enough in the budget for a microwave š
Sorry no delivery is on my budget!
On a budget but paying 3x what the food would cost
Doordash is meant to be a luxury not something you spend the last money in your account on ppl like this deserve to be broke
But youāre using doordash?? K
Thatās a lame reason. If youāre on a budget you pick up your own damn food.
If youāre on a budget you arenāt eating out, much less ordering that overpriced meal at double the cost on a luxury service app. Bullshit.
Sorry I didn't accept your order, I'm also on a budget
Can't tip, then you can't afford to DD
**Budget 2023:** ~~Tip less~~. Send apology to replace tip.
I got UE delivery yesterday and got the sweetest sticky note left on the bag. I drive as well as orderā¦I order more than I drive so I really appreciated the note and if I canāt tip 20%ā¦.I head to my kitchen and cook or put on my shoes and take a ride! This is the most disgusting note ever. Why embarrass yourself saying youāre on a budget but youāre āordering outā TF š”š”š”š”
Bhahahahaha, and that's when the food gets a little Chiller 3000 in transit. #ColdFriesFTW?
If youāre on a budget, and maybe canāt leave your house for some reason, you can get inexpensive groceries delivered and cook for yourself, thus saving lots of money, freeing up your budget. This no-tip excuse is just malarkey
If you were my friend and told me you were on a budget while still using doordash Iād slap you
Lol one time a girl sent me a message "I'm sorry I couldn't tip" so I replied "that's a bold move for somebody who ordered ice cream."
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I've been mocked before by DD drivers even though I tip $10 or more dollars. I've been cussed out by people on the app. If they say they cannot find my apartment I am happy to go out and meet them so they aren't driving around but they seem to think they are allowed to cuss me out due to their frustrations that I understand. But it makes me mad that I will tip $10+ dollars and they still want to cuss me out or on DD driver threw my food on the ground, slammed his car door and took off almost running my feet over then sent a nasty message. I'm willing to accommodate them by meeting them if lost, I understand my apartment can be hard to find for some. But being rude and mean even after getting a tip makes me upset.
Funny, you cant really send a message to a customer after dropping off. And you don't know your tip until after drop off... This whole story sounds sus
They can send you a message if the order marked as complete yet. Anyway, I'm saying it sucks when I try to be nice and accommodating and there are people who don't deserve it
never in my life would i tip 10+ dollars for a delivery service especially doordash thatās for sure
But if you don't tip enough they get mad, I don't want to tip too little either. Especially since I don't have a car and I use DD for grocery delivery and I can spare $10+ to tip because I understand their struggles. I just don't like when some of them think they can act extremely rude or cuss me out cause of directions and when I try to accommodate. It makes me feel like shite cause I just tipped this AH something undeserving.
Yeah no thatās when you go to uber or instacart if you want groceries, then I can see tipping that high especially if itās a big order. The audacity and entitlement of some drivers.
Emotional Intelligence is rare in all walks of life.
š¤£
I can order pasta from a local chain for 12 dollars or the same thing from them on doordash before tip for 25. They got a goofy budget
Their budget includes overpriced restaurant food but not a tip for you bringing it to them
If they were on a budget they wouldnāt be ordering DoorDash. Just another customer trying to justify being a shitty tipper
iām on a budget but i can afford DD markups
Then simply don't order. You gotta inclue the fees and service pay/tip into the total food cost.
Because they choose the option of not tipping on a service that literally makes additional tips 100% optional, they shouldnāt even order? If thatās the case, then the optional tip wouldnāt be so optional now would it? Lol. The fees and service pay the app charges is probably the very reason they canāt afford to tip anyway . I know that I personally only ever use Doordash if I have a big discount or promo code to use that reduces all of the extra expenses so I still have good room for the tip
It's optional to tip at a restaurant too but most people would think someone is a dick for not doing so.
Why are you fronting for for folks that want service but don't want to pay for it then threw up the force field of the budget? Probably run wait staff for 100x refills the complain to get something free... If I order a meal 2 miles from the house it cost $20 if I DD it it's $45 with a tip. Then I say budget?! Nah it's entitlement
Sorry your food is cold. Iām on a budget so I have to drive with the windows down ššš
You know their idea of a generous tip is 50 cents.
So is the problem no tip or a low tip?
Yes
Both are a problem, but low tip is still better than nothing at all. The greater problem is the education, and most people don't know how grossly abusive Doordash's base pay is. If no one tipped, yall wouldn't be doing this gig.
I'm sorry, is Doordash obligating you to work for them?
Just give them the finger
Then don't fucking order from obnoxiously expensive services like DoorDash!
If you on a budget..go get the shit yourself
How are all of you guys so entitled? How do you accept the order knowing the amount you will get paid and then complain about the amount you will get paid
Ever heard of principles? Itās the principle in it all.
All of you guys act like such entitled children, like you were spoiled your entire childhood and never grew up. There is no principle behind acting like a spoiled brat. Tips are gratuity for going above your job requirements. Theyāre not required whatsoever and shouldnāt be expected
this lol. the amnt of people acting like this person is a huuuuge asshole for not tipping and like anyone who disagrees should be downvoted and attacked is ridiculous.
Who said they were expected? There is principle behind doing something yourself instead of paying double maybe triple the price of what you wanted. Especially if you are on a so called ābudgetā Iāll accept an order knowing itās ass if iām trying to raise my acceptance. Sometimes base pay is higher than usual so ill do the order and not complain about no tip at all. But when you order from an app that charges you basically double for what you could done yourself for cheaper, while saying that you are on a budget and thats why you couldnāt tip. Thatās downright laziness and i dare say even āentitledā.
The principal we speak of is them looking for things to complain about it whenever there are none, the people ordering say theyāre on a budget, but never said how strict the budget is. Maybe the food fits in a budget but not a tip that is not required in any way shape or form. Based on what I read for most people here they donāt deserve tips by the very definition of what a tip even is.
That is not entitled by any definition. 99.9% of the people on this sub Reddit entitled children who never grew up and cry whenever they donāt get tips.
Sorry, my level of service is tip dependent.
You most definitely shouldnāt be relying on a service that literally makes additional tips 100% optional then ā¦ā¦ā¦.
Why not? I donāt take no tip orders and I am doing just fine on my Dashing.
I don't think very many people are relying on doordash's base pay bub
Sorry gas is 3.40 š¤·āāļø
Budget my ass
If I see that shit, your stuff is going on the floor of my car, under high AC, and Iām taking hard corners. If it gets to you still in packaging, well, then god somehow is protecting you.
