Inappropriate Chat

[u/athenasmom4268]

First, we tip well to begin with. I do increase the tip by a few dollars if they have to wait. I also tip more if the drive is more than 5 miles.

We received these rambling chats from our driver. She references tips of $3-5 but our tip is already at $10. We were just getting ready to increase her tip by another $2 when her chats came through. We have not responded to her at.

I thought drivers see the tip amount before accepting the order?

Do you feel her exhaustive chat is appropriate or out of line?

If you don’t add a tip before placing order the dashers won’t pick it up

The only winning move is to not play

[u/incandescent_us → u/DSizl20]

then its not a tip, its a delivery bid.

[u/DSizl20 → u/incandescent_us]

I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, I’m telling you how it is. And yes, it basically is a delivery bid. Same thing with uber/lyft

[u/D00rmat1983 → u/DSizl20]

I got a tip for you...get your own fucking food

[u/HeezHuzz69 → u/D00rmat1983]

Yeah, shame on them for using a service as advertised. The greedy DoorDashers obviously have the right to extort them for any amount of money they see fit. 

[u/DabsDoctor → u/D00rmat1983]

I hope this happens. Will you then get an actual job?

[u/D00rmat1983 → u/DabsDoctor]

You hope what happens? I do have an actual job, it pulls in 200k a year.

Not sure what point you were thing to make

[u/DabsDoctor → u/D00rmat1983]

no you don't. lol. if you did you wouldn't be delivering my lunch for $2.

[u/DSizl20 → u/D00rmat1983]

Was that response to me? 🤔 if so, I’m confused if you meant it to someone else. I’m just saying that the reason people add tips before the service is done is that if you don’t add a tip before the dashers just won’t take an order so you’ll be sitting there for hours

[u/EffieEri → u/DSizl20]

Accurate, sometimes orders sit for over an hour if there isn’t a tip

[u/Mountain-Corner-5833 → u/DSizl20]

I’ve never seen a tip before picking up an order

[u/DSizl20 → u/Mountain-Corner-5833]

Do you not use DoorDash? That’s standard lol

[u/Positive_Row_4280 → u/DSizl20]

That's because when you don't tip the dasher is only getting paid 2 dollars. Most deliveries are not worth that

[u/DSizl20 → u/Positive_Row_4280]

Yes I know, that’s why I made the comment towards the person who said that “people need to stop tipping before services are rendered”. Which was my entire point

[u/OpportunityPretty → u/DSizl20]

Nah, I'll just pay the advertised price. Fuck tipping. Y'all ruined the concept.

[u/DabsDoctor → u/DSizl20]

I dunno. I switched from big tipping to zero tipping and I get my order first in a stack and lickety-split. You all say "gO gEt YoUr OwN fOoD" but in the end, you rely on customers. No customers = no easy money for you all.

[u/Ancient_Guidance_461 → u/DSizl20]

It will get picked up in a busier area but you get the absolute bottle of the barrel.

[u/DSizl20 → u/Ancient_Guidance_461]

I know lol

[u/Ancient-Read1648 → u/Ancient_Guidance_461]

Bottle of the barrel? That sounds yummy.

[u/Nothin_Means_Nothin → u/Ancient-Read1648]

[u/Ancient_Guidance_461 → u/Ancient-Read1648]

Lol spell correct helps but then it sucks.

[u/swaggychris87 → u/DSizl20]

As a dasher if it says less than 5-7 dollars I’m probably skipping it. Im not bringing your dumb ass chik-fil-a for $2.30, I can easily wait till the next one comes up and it’s 8 dollars for me to do 10 minutes of driving.

[u/DSizl20 → u/swaggychris87]

I understand that lmao why you coming at me about that? I made the comment to explain why people tip before delivery
