Should the customer have tipped more than $8?


A DoorDash driver dashed from a customer's door with his food because he only gave her an $8 tip.

The bizarre interaction was captured on a Ring doorbell cam in New York back in August, but was only posted on YouTube on Tuesday.

https://youtu.be/Od5oQROVbrw

It shows the indignant driver confronting a Long Island customer over his apparent stinginess after she drove his order 40 minutes from Commack to Smithtown; the customer meanwhile is utterly confused as to why she's complaining about not being tipped enough for taking 40 minutes to make a journey that should have taken a quarter of that time.

When the furious driver buzzes his doorbell, he instructs her to just leave the food there but she insists on delivering him a piece of her mind, too.

"I need to speak to you, I don't think you realize where they're coming from, so I need to speak to you," she snorts.

"I don't think you realize the distance that it's coming from because then you would never actually have given what you gave... so I think you can come and see me face to face."

"'Cause I drove 40 minutes, I drove 40 minutes," she continues, "and I got it to you early, so I don't think you realize where you got it from."

Still confounded, the customer isn't quite sure what she's getting at, so she presses on.

"Do you realize how far it is? Do you realize you ordered from Commack and you're in Smithtown?"

Incidentally, Google Maps says you get from Commack to Smithtown in 12 minutes via the NY-25 and the customer points this out to her.

"That's a 15, 20 minute drive" he tells her.
"It's not! you need to try to drive it, I just drove it, it's 40 minutes," she insists. "It's 12-and-a-half miles."

Humoring her, the customer then asks why she accepted the job, if she thought the distance was too far.

"They don't let us know how far. So I think you need to adjust your tip. To make it right."

(DoorDash, as it happens, does inform drivers how far a delivery is before they accept.)

Humoring her further, the customer asks her how much the tip was and she replies" You gave an $8 tip."

"What the hell are you looking for?!" he laughs. "I gave an $8 tip!"

"Okay, I'm gonna bring the food back," she threatens.

"Is she f--king kidding?" a friend of the customer's can be heard asking.

No, it turns out, she's not. She bends to pick up the order before she disappears down the driveway.

12 miles on the highway is like 15 to 20 minutes tops. $8 tip is plenty, what a selfish person she is.

She's probably thinking her return trip home is her problem.

Here's hoping she got banned from the gig job, and the other services blacklisted her.

I gotta say, 8 dollars for a 20 minute drive still sounds cheap. It probably is 40 minutes when you drive out there and back.
Its tip. Its IN ADDITION to what DoorDash pays her brah.

Damn.. Should I just not use Doordash? Last time I did I tipped $2 on a $10 order at a place that was about a mile away. I'm always a little paranoid that they aren't getting paid enough....though the responsibility should be on Doordash/UberEats/Etc. and not the fucken customers.

In 2040 the world will look back on "the gig economy" as one of the big reasons that poverty got exacerbated

This psychopath was never vetted when "getting hired" and the net result is a potentially lethal interaction. What if she had a gun? Bang bang, little timmy home from school gets lit the fuck up because his dad only tipped 8 bucks for food (which is a lot).

Doordashs solution: a 15% off coupon for your next order. Nameless faceless companies that make it such that they are impossible to contact. They abuse the workers and pay them far below minimum wage with a piecework loophole

Moreover, its a dredge on society. Piecework payment + use of a car = irresponsible and dangerous drivers. I see it all the time. We have special plates for these gig economy workers in my city so you know when it's one of them.

I thought DoorDash didnt pay hardly anything though. Its like waitressing with a car. Your real pay comes from tips.
That's not the customer's problem to deal with.

So I use UberEats and you have up to an hour AFTER the food gets delivered to change your tip. Maybe Doordash needs to implement something similar?

UPS didnt make your Christmas presents so Im not sure what your point is.

lmao that's a JOB which pays hourly and offers benefits for delivering, not a side gig literally anyone with a car can just take on for extra cash or quit at a moment's notice. Why are we comparing apples to bananas?

Uh, yes they do... I drive for Doordash. When you receive an order it tells you exactly how much your pay is and how far the distance is (your current position -> restaurant -> customer house).

I always tip after because if they did well I want to tip then well, if they only brought me a single thing if fried rice when I ordered 3 entrees and some dumplings, they get minimal.

That's why I like uber eats, it asks you to confirm the tip amount when you rate them after delivery.

I figured they pick up a few orders from a place. The Chipotle in my area delivers through DoorDash and the guy with my food was clearly making a few stops along the way. I tipped $5 for about the same distance, but I was on the way back from a ring of deliveries that presumably had their own tips.

Probably because as it goes on tips are gonna be the only way people get paid. But of course, there's always the "Here's a tip, find a better job" advice which they should honestly take, either learn a trade that provide or struggle in hell til you die it is what it is.

I once had a Grub Hub driver yell at me over a $12 tip. The order was a total of $53.58. So I went above the standard tip amount. He wanted $30. When I refused, he deliberately broke a flower pot as he walked away cursing.

Did this seriously happen lol.

My post isnt even going down that route honestly.

The people feeling entitled to a tip need to turn their concerns attheir employer paying them less than minimum wage. Idk what the wages are at Door dash, however its the employers responsibility to pay you minimum wage.

Its not the customers job to pay you extra, nor should people be expecting it as if its their God given right.

You don't always have an alternative option unless you want to hand out cash, which defeats the purpose of contactless delivery.
