How much would I as a perfect stranger need to pay you to bring me food from five miles away?

A ton. But I’m also not in a position where I am exploring food delivery as a way to generate income. My guess is this person isn’t expecting to make six figures from delivering food. His definition of bad is different than mine.

You're right he's not expecting to see six figures. I'd say around $1.50 a mile or a minimum of $5 for closer deliveries.These guys are paid $2.25-$2.50 per delivery by the company. The rest comes from tips. I was doing it for a few months to make some extra cash and I can tell you these companies need to be investigated because they wll 100% shut you down by spamming no tip orders at you for a couple of hours if you turn down too many low or no tip deliveries.

Good to know. Now how much did OP tip? And was the driver expecting the same numbers you laid out? Mysteries of the world…

Well OP hasn't provided any additional context. They simply posted this video of a random delivery driver who is properly delivering their food but is very upset about it.

Right. My point is that without context, there’s no good way to know if the driver is overreacting or if OP should have expected frustration from the driver. Seems unfair to just assume OP left a “bad tip” - bad by the driver’s standards, clearly, but maybe not bad in a general sense.

You're right. I'm basing my judgement off of life experience and intuition. It's literally 50/50 whether or not op tipped the driver or not. Based on what's available I'd put money on not though.
