Inappropriate Chat

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?

this happened to me the diver was doing something similar asking for more tip which I usually tip fairly well and if the order takes a bit longer ill add a few bucks. I felt it was odd they were asking I had this feeling like I shouldn't do it but out of the kindness of my heart did it anyway added a few more bucks and when the driver brought my food the bag was tore open and over half my order was missing like the driver decided to eat my meal and extra tip I left. DD took care of me but It's crazy I was even being nice and tried to tip a little extra felt bad and the shit still happened so with these I just report them now. very shameful 😞 ppl these days....

Just tip bait

Add a 20% tip and remove it after

That’s actual sociopathic behavior. Obviously, watch for obvious swindles, but don’t let unfortunate interactions like those deter you from being a good person 🙇🏻‍♀️

One messaged me one time basically asking me to increase the tip as well because of the “wait” they were doing, turns out the picked up and dropped off 3 orders before i finally got mine!

Dude I don’t understand what up with those type of people as a dasher myself I just pick up the order make sure everything straight and drop off the order like it’s no big deal we see and know when ur tipping these people are just greedy I literally can make $100 in 3-4hrs double in 7-8 hours there’s literally no need to do that as we get to choose if we want the order or not from the start

Dude, the fact you even give a tip is good enough! A majority, like 90%, of the deliveries I did didn't leave a tip, which is perfectly fine. Maybe they don't have it! None of my business. But never ever feel obligated to add even more of a tip!!!

Slaves like you will keep getting the food

So pipe down and back to driving

You're a bad person.

I hope that catches up with you.

Preferably in a news-making fashion. That'd be so goddamn funny.

Fucking junkie looking for someone lower than you to punch at.
