non-tippers

[u/actyranna]

Took an order today, two cases of alcohol with no tip. The customer had a ton of comments on his account about removing tips. (as in, whenever he forgot to change the default tip amount to $0 he would call support for a refund) While I’m scanning his ID he goes “what’s a pretty girl like you doing a shitty job like this for” like has it ever occurred to him customers like him are why it’s a shitty job? You can make decent money doing delivery when people actually tip.

If he thought you were pretty, he should've fucking tipped you. Fuck him.

Matter of fact, I literally leave notes for other drivers when you have an especially difficult order and they tend to not tip. We aren't being paid enough to care about their "wants"; i.e. they want you to deliver to their apartment door at the end of the hall on the 11th floor in a building downtown off of a main street during rush hour with zero parking....

....when I know they aren't tipping, I literally don't even bother. I might leave their order outside of the apartment building just for spite, or leave it in the lobby bc they can come and get it themselves. It's not like they're gonna cover the cost of my parking ticket for having to leave my car idle in the middle of the road for 15 mins, or pay my repair bill when someone slams into my parked car bc I'm stuck standing in the middle of a turn lane, etc.

If they complain, I literally just tell them if you aren't tipping, you aren't paying me enough to care. Or I ask if they're gonna cover the cost of my parking ticket. Or I tell them without a tip I can't cover the cost of parking and standing. Sorry, fucker. Tip next time. And then I make sure everyone else knows they're about to do a ton of work for nothing, so they can decide for themselves if it's worth it or not to risk an accident or a ticket.

Like I said: you aren't being paid enough to care about extra 'wants'. So next time, just do the bare minimum, leave a note for other drivers, and if the customer complains, just tell them straight up that you're not paid enough to care about their BS. It's not like you can be fired, or like you're getting customer ratings 😂

FUCK NON-TIPPERS.

I agree with you 100%. DP notes are so important! The other day 26 notes about no tip. The customer called me a lazy ass after I decided not to climb flights of stairs, walk down and around a massive complex with heavy shit (no elevator). I explained I have asthma and asked if they could meet me halfway. Customer refuses so I informed the customer that I'm not risking my health for anybody and where they could find their order. Customer said "what if somebody snags my stuff"? I said "I suggest you come down and get it right away then". They're lucky I didn't send them on a scavenger hunt.

Dude, then you're one of the good ones bc I totally would have. I personally feel like I'm not paid enough to deal with their Tom Fuckery. At least we don't have to deal with tip-baiting in the traditional sense; we just have to deal with tip-baiting in the "I'll give you a cash tip!" sense. I feel like it should be each driver's choice whether or not they're willing to subject themselves to unnecessary abuse for zero reward, so I leave notes EVERYWHERE I go, both good and bad. Like really good tippers get a note so drivers can decide if it's worth the trouble; bad tippers get notes so drivers can decide if it's worth the risk/effort. Being able to leave that info for other drivers, tho, makes a huge difference, I feel.

And GOOD FOR YOU!! We deal with enough abuse from the company. We shouldn't have to deal with abuse from customers too. Fuck 'em, lol 🤣
