You must be new here. In topics about a contentious subject you'll always find people on either side willing to defend it here.

This story (and video) was completely horrible but I can't really get behind a 30 year jail time for someone young enough that other types of help might be possible.

What if that was your mom...

I can't imagine anyone defending this.

It does.

I delivered for all these apps during Covid when I was really struggling for money. Uber Eats was the worst for exactly this reason. It happens way more than you'd think.

If we could solve this feature we'd have a solution. Maybe you could adjust the tip with a detailed complaint.

DoorDash drivers complained about this because people would promise a huge tip to get them on the hook then get shafted after the delivery was completed by a post-service adjustment.

Can you?

I'd support it but it seems like it's ripe for abuse. E.g. I'll put a $10 tip knowing I'm gonna get high priority but then drop it down to $5 regardless of the service quality.

Yeah this

It's a valid concern, but I don't think it's usual. Uber Eats has this feature.

MatzoTov posted...

You shouldn't tip until the service is completed. This is awful and further justifies my decision to never use these services.

What if you can adjust your tip after the delivery?

If the company is making tipping compulsory then screw the company. I can pick up my own food or take my money elsewhere thank you.

They never said it's compulsory

UN official Thousands of children killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza cannot be collateral damage

Tough call.

I think that all the apps should have to where you can adjust the tip. That works.

Yeah, it depends on what they mean by faster. Like it's dispatched quicker, or like you said a driver is more likely to pick it up. Uber Eats doesn't do that but they do have a thing where you can pay for priority delivery.
Interesting other thing about Uber Eats, when you get to the tip part when you're ordering, if it's raining the screen will show wet weather animation.

I agree with the concept, but it might be a bad idea. Here's why.

Telling the customer that a tip will get it there faster can make the driver disregard things like speed limits.

Pizza Hut had this problem back in the day when they said you get your pizza in 30 minutes or less or it's free. Drivers would try to beat the time and safety went down.

Lol @ tipping before getting your food

I agree it is stupid, but it was made common during covid with contactless delivery when drivers would leave food at your door.

Personally I wouldn't skip leaving something. You have some low paid random handling your food. I wouldn't put it past them spitting in it or something.

You know you can adjust your tip after the fact.

Great Game

for-killing-prisoner-the-victims-sister-asks-that-his-life-be-spared/

Inmate faces execution for killing prisoner. The victims sister asks that his life be spared.

Texas' top criminal appeals court has stopped Thursday evening's scheduled execution of a Texas inmate who had been condemned for killing another prisoner more than 26 years ago.

William Speer, 49, had been set to receive a lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville. The victims sister and religious leaders had recently asked authorities to spare his life.

Speer was convicted of the strangling death of Gary Dickerson in July 1997 at the Telford state prison, located near New Boston in northeast Texas.

His attorneys had asked the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals to stop his execution over allegations that prosecutors at his 2001 trial failed to disclose evidence, presented false testimony and that his trial lawyers failed to present evidence about Speers troubled childhood.

They say Speer was physically and sexually abused as a child. Prosecutors have denied the allegations against them.

Less than five hours before his scheduled execution at 6 p.m. CDT, the appeals court granted the request by Speer's attorneys.

We have reviewed the application and find that (Speer's) execution should be stayed pending further order of this Court, the appeals court wrote in its two-page order.

Speer's lawyers said the stay order cannot be appealed to federal courts because it is a state law issue.

His lawyers said Speer has transformed while in prison, expressed regret for his actions and now helps lead a religious program that ministers to other death row inmates.

We are relieved that Will Speer will live to see another day so he can continue to spread his message of hope and healing in Texas prisons, said Amy Fly, one of Speers attorneys. Wills life of ministry, and his efforts to offer some measure of peace to his victims families, are an inspiration. We are grateful for the thousands of people, including faith leaders and his victims survivors, who told the State of Texas that Wills life was worth saving.

The Texas Attorney General's Office did not immediately reply to an email seeking comment.
I am so aware of the things that Ive done. Im so aware of the pain and the hurt that Ive caused. I could just say that Im sorry, Speer said in a video submitted as part of an earlier clemency petition to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles.

Speers attorneys had also asked to stop his execution over claims the states supply of pentobarbital, the drug used in executions, was exposed to extreme heat during an August fire at a state prison, making it unsafe. A federal judge and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals had earlier this week denied appeals on that claim. A similar allegation made by another inmate, Jedidiah Murphy, was unsuccessful and he was executed earlier this month.

The Texas Attorney Generals Office said the execution drugs were tested after the fire for potency and sterility. Murphys execution showed the state can handle Speers execution in a safe and humane manner, authorities said.

At the time of inmate Dickerson's killing, Speer had been serving a life sentence for fatally shooting a friends father, Jerry Collins, at the mans Houston area home in January 1991. Speer was 16 then.

The paroles board on Tuesday voted 7-0 against commuting Speers death sentence to a lesser penalty. Members also rejected granting a six-month reprieve.

Speer killed Dickerson in a bid to join the Texas Mafia prison gang, prosecutors said. The gang ordered the hit after mistakenly concluding Dickerson had informed authorities about tobacco it had tried to smuggle into the prison.

Speer and another inmate, Anibal Canales Jr. were sentenced to death for the killing. Canales remains on death row.

At Speers trial, Sammie Martin, who is Dickersons only living sibling, told jurors her mother was devasted by her brother's death.

But Martin asked that Speers life be spared.

I have spent much time reflecting on what justice my brother and my family deserved, Martin wrote in federal court documents filed earlier this week. In my heart, I feel that he is not only remorseful for his actions but has been doing good works for others and has something left to offer the world.

Martin said she was never informed by prosecutors about Speers scheduled execution.
In court documents filed this week, lawyers with the Texas Attorney Generals Office said that despite Martins feelings about Speers execution, the state retains its interest in deterring gang murders and prison violence, as well as seeing justice done for Dickerson.

A group of religious leaders from around the country have also asked that Speer be spared. In a letter to the paroles board and Gov. Greg Abbott, they wrote that Speers religious work with other prisoners does not excuse his actions, but it gives us a fuller picture of who Will is as a human, Christian, leader, and teacher.

Two more executions are scheduled in Texas this year.

Based on the movie. Ps2/Xbox

I wish they would remake it.
