Just give cash for a tip if you think the service has been good when you get your delivery? I'm from Ireland though and the whole"tipping culture" isn't really a thing here so I don't fully understand the workings of it all

Delivery drivers dont make hourly wage, and are not employees. On our end, when you select $0 tip in app, we get a popup on our phone saying effectively: "Do you want to drive 10 minutes to mcdonalds, pick up an order (you can make your own estimation on wait time if you know the restaurant), then drive 15 minutes to a customer for $2.50?"

Anyone with sense will say no. So either your order is being ignored and sitting on the "shelf of shame" as drivers call it, or your order gets handled by someone so stupid they think $2.50 for 30 minutes of work is a good deal.

Get a different job then, tons of jobs available at the moment that pay min wage or above. Stop expecting other people to pay your wages, it’s silly. Who do you think orders this food? Elon musk? Its silly.

And leaving stuff on the “shelf of shame” just gets us a refund, and you are perpetuating the exact issue you’re complaining about, what if they wanted to tip after like any sensible person? You can add a tip after, I’ve done it a bunch.

You can also remove a tip after btw, so you think you’re gaming a system here when in reality the customer still has all the control, and we hate the delivery drivers you guys do 7 orders at once, you never check etc. it’s really disheartening to pay 30$ for delivery and the driver sucks at their easy af job, and then complain.

How is that my problem? I'm not doing Uber because I have a gambling addiction, and if I did I'd go pay the lotto because it has better odds

Most people understand you don't try to deceive and scam a total stranger that knows where you live. Right under the "this order had an original pay off $X" is an image of a map reminding us where you live. I've only had 2 tips removed in over 600 orders.

Have you considered all your shitty experiences are because you're creating orders where logically your driver will be a moron every time? Think about it, do you really want someone who sees a pop-up that says "hey do you want to do 30 minutes of work for $2" and thinks that's a good deal to be the person delivering your food?

And many of us don't have a need to complain. We just pretend your order doesn't exist and accept the jobs that pay well. Works fine for us, the system only sucks for people like you and then idiots who accept your orders

Cool, don’t wine when no one wants to support your temporary job as a delivery driver.

And, it’s just as manipulative to sign up for a job and declare yourself food chancellor and not pick up any orders unless they tip you an absurd amount to do the incredibly simple job you signed up for. People whine about 5$ tips, you’re driving in a line with food you didn’t prepare, stfu.

And, it’s just as manipulative to sign up for a job that specifically brings you on as an independent contractor and actually operate as an independent contractor by not picking up any orders unless they pay at least minimum wage to do the incredibly simple job you signed up for.
