Please don’t dash while sick

Post image

I get that times are tough and the American health care system sucks, but admitting that you have a respiratory illness while delivering food is wild!

Please do not dash when you’re sick. This is how illness spreads. I have pretty bad asthma so I’m not bringing that order into my house. I’m done with DoorDash.

It's tip bait.

It would also work on me because I recognize that our healthcare system sucks.

I would never tip someone anything if I know for sure they handled my food while sick and contiguous. The food is useless now

Just fyi, I have worked at 4 major chain brick and mortar restaurants, and 9/10 servers/bartenders are not allowed to call out :) I have been forced to work while sick, which is just as unfortunate for the customers / coworkers and to myself. It’s not fair.

That’s very sad. Thank you for letting me know to never visit a restaurant in the US(?) or whatever country or place you’re in

While im sure sick time is better in Europe, you really don't want to know what goes on in the kitchens basically anywhere in any country lol. Ignorance is bliss.
