You're definitely mad at the wrong people. If your pay rate means you're reliant on tips, it's your employer you should be mad at.

I think they’re trying to say if you can’t leave a tip don’t do delivery. Like when you go to a restaurant and don’t tip the waiter. I’ve seen people write “Too broke to tip, sorry!” Or “Single parent, sorry!” On HUGE bills. If you can afford the food, give them a tip.

Honestly, if you were poor, why would you ever order delivered takeout food? I see that as a once in a while luxury, and I'm solidly middle class. And I sure as hell make sure I can tip when I decide to treat myself. I've been a contract delivery driver before, and you cannot live without the tips. It's baked into your compensation.

Order carry out then. Or don't order out if you're poor. If you're poor, your money will go a lot further at a grocery store.

Yeah. Definitely not people ordering $100+ worth of food, with a dozen 2 liters... Won't ask for a coupon but also won't tip... 👍

Yeah. It's totally my employers fault.

It is. Your employer should be paying you a fair wage.

If it helps at all, I no longer get delivery at all, although I can afford it, because I can’t conscionably support the employers that don’t pay their employees a fair wage.

Tips are optional. As is choosing to work in an industry that leverages them to avoid fairly compensating their employees directly.

Find a mirror to yell at.

As a Jr high dropout I ended up 8+ years of working full time (never in service industry) to put myself thru community college (usually full time course load) to be able to transfer to a 4-yr.

So hard empirical disagree with ya fella. You clearly just like to avoid agency with your problems.

What a load of shit.

I work fulltime, am a fulltime student on an accelerated program, and am doing contracts on the side.

You're a jackass who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near people's food.

Really? I knew plenty of people who fixed computers and did tech support at the IT center at my university.

Hmm, and what did everyone do before these gig economy jobs were invented? Hint: They made it work with part time, regular jobs.

Weird flex, but ok.

Oh, I tip well. Which is why your rankings would prevent you from seeing my orders fortunately.

Way to climb down deeper into the gutter though, again, weird flex but ok.

Jeez. I come from food service and I I have always tipped drivers 20%. But after seeing your attitude, I’m done with that nonsense. The heck is wrong with you.

Why even go to school when you have a mentality that will lead to no employers wanting you to work for them?

Yes, it is your employer's fault for not paying you wages and it is your fault by working there without wages.

buckleharry t1_j2ap65o wrote

Both things can be true. Customers who don't tip are assholes, and so is your employer.
