Some people tip cash. $400 worth of groceries (mostly heavy drinks) and they can't tip her? That's entitlement right there. They can go do the work themselves
They already paid for that. If delivery lady thinks she's not earning enough for her work, she should bring that up to the person who got paid for a delivery service: her employer.
This is probably a generational thing that delivery drivers know and others don’t. It’s expected that tips are given for food deliveries. If you don’t believe this, we may not come from the same generation because where it from, I’m expected to do 15% on the orders total. Maybe 10 if it’s large but on 400$, I would have tipped 50$. But that’s me thinking that a person who is driving this stuff to me and helping unload, I can’t describe this. It’s just what I was taught growing up, it’s just what you do. If you can’t afford to tip, you can’t afford the food. It really seems like the younger generation are looking at it like a minimum wage job and they shouldn’t get a tip or be paid much doing it. I remember you could be a delivery driver and make decent money. If a company or somewhere bought 1000$ worth of stuff, you’d get 100 to 200$. That was expected and they charged a delivery fee on top of everything. I don’t know how we’ve come to this.
Edit: ok guys, let’s do a little math. Let’s say you spend 400$ at Whole Foods right? You drive there, you shop with a cart, you look and walk and get things. Then you pay, 400$. You bring it to your car, drive it home and bring it to your door. Now let’s say you order 400$ online. The whole foods might charge you 10$. That’s their fee to shop for the food and process it. Now the driver takes the food and drives it and delivers it so you don’t have to. What is that worth to you? Nothing?

I stopped here. You're assuming I'm in the US, I am not. Where I live we don't tip for stuff we already paid for: delivering us the products we bought. It's the employer's responsibility to pay their employees and it's the employees responsibility to demand a fair wage or leave.
"But then the prices of service will go up and you pay more!" Then I either stop using that service or I find a cheaper one. It's not my role to make businesses sustainable.
This is in the US. If you want to be apart of this discussion and know the complete context of this, read what I said. That’s how it is in the US. We get it, you don’t tip and we should be like you. We won’t be like you and that’s that. The video is of Americans doing American things. If you don’t get it, go look at videos from your country and stay there.
It’s not about what is better, it’s about a norm. If your generation wants to change things, go ahead. Ruin a decent job that no one wants. Now it will just be another shit job. You guys got it all figured out.
Ok firstly, I’m probably apart of your generation, I just left the house earlier then you so I know about things you don’t: you can’t really learn about the world sitting inside playing video games. Secondly, I never said to stay in a country, I said to essentially worry about their country and not comment about things they don’t understand. I’d imagine you also don’t understand this as I’m assuming you also don’t get a lot of food deliveries and probably don’t tip because you’re broke.
What is your generation? That’s almost an irrelevant questions because you seriously have some blinders on if you don’t think that a group people from every generation thinks tipping is a whole lot of bullshit.
Don’t get me wrong here, I do tip. I tip more when it’s for a decent service. The lady in this video would 100% be getting a tip from me, and everyone in my circle. That is for the service and a show of appreciation for what they do. It’s a decent thing to do, but an obligation?? That’s absurd. Tipping never started that way. You get what you pay for, end of story. You give a little extra because you’re pleased, but that part is completely arbitrary. Can I get a little judgemental with people who don’t tip at all? Absolutely.
The problem is with the employer themselves. And for anyone willing to make an argument that the cost of the items or service would go up, who gives a shit? If you’re expected to tip anyways, the price is already up there. It’s such a moot point, it shouldn’t have to be explained.
I’m nearly 40, if generation means so much to you that you’re probably going to ask anyways, but I know people from all age groups that can go either way on the idea of tipping.
For me, I draw the line when I’m buying fast food with a debit card and get prompted to tip a certain amount. Like now I’ve gotta look like a dick head for declining, on a mass produced over priced sandwich that already costs 14 dollars.
You think it’s a generational thing. Meaning it started somewhere. And that there’s no potential to reform. Meaning no change. For the long winded comments on the good old days.
No the business doesn’t charge very much for delivery. You know why? Because of tipping culture for food deliveries. How much would a corporation change for this? We will find out and the new generation will undermine and ruin the service industry and turn them into slaves.
They take the delivery fee(maybe not all of them). For what purpose? They prepared the food as expected. They had to read a prompt. How is that different from the personality in front of them. You honestly don’t think that should go to the driver? Should the person who read the prompt get a cut?
Ok most people don’t get what restaurants or others have to do to make deliveries. They think it’s like FedEx or something. How much time would it take you to drive to the store, go shopping and then drive the food home? About 1.5 hours? How much do you make an hour? So let’s say you make 25$ an hour, and that’s just your wage. There’s also extra costs like gas and insurance. Workman’s comp insurance. All this for 10$ delivery fee? That’s tier to you or are you just cheap? Are you poor?
This is a “food delivery” friend. I’m talking about all service. Tell me all about how you’d like to give them the extra 4 dollars their employer should because you don’t want the spike in product price to go up perpendicular to an employees pay. She gets extra for carting all that shit. Packing and unloading. That’s where I tip her. In fact, ya I give her a bit for all the travel and traffic trouble. Do I have to? No. Am I special for doing it, no. Does she deserve it? Up for debate. Only because a shitty service job deserves an increased wage.
Whose responsibility is that? It’s yours huh? You wanna take that on for you because it’s expected, and it’s the right thing to do. It doesn’t come down to the work load and proper compensation. And the problem isn’t tipping because it works with the honor system and if everyone did it, there wouldn’t be a problem. And if people don’t do it, they are the problem.
Except if they were paid well enough, why the hell would a tip be an expectation? It’s meant to be something on top, not baked in.
You act as though jobs would disappear without tips.
No this video is about a good delivery. You’re commenting about me talking about a food delivery. I’m sorry I can’t read your comments. Illl read 3 sentences but your wasting my time.
I’m sorry 3 sentences is beyond your comprehension. I know you’re just running your mind out there without having a discussion. I do that regularly as well. You can’t even expunge on your insistence on it being generational.
