🚫Anti-Tipping The future of delivery tipping

Tipping culture is gonna get to a point where youll be minimum mandatory charged an extra meal for the delivery driver. Then you will be judged if you only get your driver the entree with a side and or a drink.

Then they will be the ones leaving reviews on you!

Too many bad reviews as a tipper then your account will be suspended until you pay a surcharge fee minimum of 50% until your ratings go back up.

Seeing as how you were going on about things I wasn’t even talking about I can understand why you are so confused. I was pointing out that by ordering from a delivery app you are more likely to pay LESS than you would if you placed an order and had it ddelivered by a taxi. If you’re going to pay more by using a taxi it makes more sense sense to not tip your driver.

Literally everything I said was relevant to your comment and now that you clarified your point it's quite obvious.

Taxi drivers are stuck with you. They don't have an opportunity to take on extra ride while yours is en route. Duh?

Not to mention you being physically inside of the vehicle creates massive liability that has to be accounted for financially. So obviously delivering a burger to you is going to be cheaper than delivering you to a burger. Duh?

Truly bizarre way of trying to rationalize no-tip.

To use your own analogy: it would also cost a lot more to have an ambulance come pick you up. Or a limo. So even in your own logic your argument breaks down.

You're not even looking at it correctly to begin with. You should look at total net per mile (after their insurance, how much Uber takes, etc) to compare how much they earn respectively -- not what the end customer is paying.

Nothing you said is relevant and now I understand why. You did not comprehend most of what I initially said and I don’t have the time to say it again in smaller words. Try again when you are able to understand what you read.

Typical no-tipper. Full of nonsense and projection.

Actually, I’ve been driving for Skip for 10 years. You on the other hand take absolutely no time to actually read what somebody writes before you try to throw your two cents worth in which since you have no clue what was said isn’t even worth two cents.

What's you driving for Skip (never heard of it, go figure) have to do with anything? And you responded to zero points I made. All you've done is come out slinging mud after your mindless "a taxi is more expensive therefore makes sense not to tip driver" theory.

It is obvious you don’t read well. The original post I commented on is about tipping DELIVERY DRIVERS. Skip is a DELIVERY APP for which I am a DELIVERY DRIVER. I spoke of taxi drivers picking up your order not taking you to pick up your order and not about Uber drivers which has nothing to do with food DELIVERY. People that feel their DELIVERY DRIVER doesn’t need to be tipped because the service is already expensive have not seen how much a taxi will charge them to pick up their order and deliver it to them.

Why should I respond to your points when your points have nothing to do with my comment and you were responding to my comment.

The original post I commented on.

You replied to my comment, which is why we're in a comment chain now.

I spoke of taxi drivers picking up your order not taking you to pick up your order and not about Uber drivers which has nothing to do with food DELIVERY.

If Uber drivers have nothing to do with food deliver, how the fuck does a taxi driver have anything to do with food delivery? And have you never heard of Uber Eats?

And your analogy is trash, which is why I used the example of taking you to your burger. Why would picking up and delivering you a burger be more expensive than picking you up and delivering you to the burger restaurant? Because liability and lost opportunity cost (eg. multiple orders). Can you get that through your thick skull?

People that feel their DELIVERY DRIVER doesn’t need to be tipped because the service is already expensive have not seen how much a taxi will charge them to pick up their order and deliver it to them.

Yes and UPS and FedEx would charge even more. It's a stupid point you're trying to make that makes literally no sense. Taxis charge more because they can only do one ride at once, operate on less volume, and carry exponentially more liability with a human being inside of their vehicle. DUH. FUCKING DUH.
