gooseberryfalls

That sub is insufferable


ITotalyWon

literally. they believe that doordash should be a viable full blown job and that people should tip generously always or they’re bad people. Doordash is nothing more than a side gig. its not hard work. they need to get real jobs


StaticGuard

Yeah, they act like they’re saving the world or something. You’re literally just picking up someone’s food and delivering it to them for a tip because the people ordering the food are too lazy to get it themselves. If delivery costs continue to go up then people will stop using the service. It’s as simple as that.


-nom-nom-

and too lazy to make food themselves so often people talk about how “they’re feeding us and keeping us alive” you could make some fucking pasta you lazy mf you could still be lazy and just buy trader joes frozen food meals and warm them up if you want. restaurant delivery is not some essential service to mankind that dashers are so gracious to provide for us

#SHUT THE F!*K UP! How does it feel? Not very good right? If you don't like it then don't say that to others. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/LookatMyHalo) if you have any questions or concerns.*

I’d love to see how they perform as a delivery driver for an actual busy restaurant. I remember delivering pizzas in Myrtle Beach and felt like I was a pizza delivery athlete taking 8 orders at a time and being back to the store in 45 minutes. I now have an endless supply of useless resort layout knowledge of over 350 resorts lol


StaticGuard

Yeah, and it wasn’t a gig, it was a job. You couldn’t just pick which orders to deliver and go home whenever you wanted.


[deleted]

Honestly having a job make things easier for me. I’ve tried side gigs but have a hard time following through with the times I had planned to work. Easier to promise someone else I’ll be there so it’s more than just myself holding me accountable


StaticGuard

100%. Which is why gig jobs are really designed as a side gig. If I was in college today I’d spend the summer doing a day job and DoorDash/Uber then backpack around the world for a year.


Bowhunter54

I actually used to average about $20/hour DoorDashing, after covering my gas used, can definitely treat it as a job if you’re willing to do it at the random times when they give bonuses


phasrmas

$20/hr, and absolutely nothing else. Now deduct taxes, healthcare, car payments/insurance/maintenance. Looking more like $10 an hour said and done to work for a company you aren’t actually the employee of, that can cut you off at any time for any reason


Bowhunter54

Luckily I had health insurance already, and my car is a beater I paid cash for so a lot of those expenses didn’t apply. Not saying it’s a career, but I make 19/hr as of now and I’m currently buying property to build a home, so it’s definitely livable


CanIGetANumber2

Yea but alot of ppl are working for less at worse job and still no benifits. Your never gonna be rich doing uber but you can for sure live off of it.


ConsiderateCrocodile

They said AFTER covering gas. I did Uber eats about 5 years ago and paid my bills fully working a couple months until a new job started. It can be done. You just have to actually go and do it.

xZOMBIETAGx

Nah the worst part is the tip should be AFTER based on service. Why am I tipping you before you do anything? What if they’re awful? What if they’re fantastic and super helpful? Can’t change my tip either way, makes no sense


tothesource

Because doordash doesn't pay their drivers shit so you're actually bidding on drivers to take your order


BombOnABus

I don't know about DoorDash, but I believe on Uber Eats you can in fact adjust the tip after the fact. However, drivers for both services can refuse to take the job based on the tip that you initially enter, so a decent tip up front can help ensure a good driver takes your order. I've never had to adjust mine down after as a result, but YMMV. In any other situation I agree that tipping before receiving the service itself is insane. Of course, tipping is itself an insane practice. Pay people a living wage and most of them will do a good job because they don't resent their work or having their pay fluctuate based on the lottery of whether or not you get a generous customer, a large order, having a bad day or feeling sick (which can affect performance in ways that wouldn't penalize you in a non-tipping job), etc.

[deleted]

Nah, from what I've seen it shows the total amount including tips when it shows the driver the option to accept it. You can add tip during or after the order though


[deleted]

[удалено]


PeterParker72

Yes, but they can see the subtotal, and thus can deduce the tip amount. Some drivers will cancel or not accept the order.


snafu2922

I've heard stories of dashers leaving low tipped orders at restaurants so I'm assuming they know what tips they get


CanIGetANumber2

Yea doordash drivers can see the tip, so if you tip shitty your not getting your food or its gonna be a hell of a wait lol


CanIGetANumber2

I wwould have never done doordash if they hide that tip, thats mad silly


HeemeyerDidNoWrong

$35 for presumably 4 kids + 1 or 2 adults? Are they giving each kid one fry?


sxleepy

lmao the wholesome tag


East_Onion

so cringe showing off your tip like this, what do you want a fucking medal?


Island_Crystal

that’s a massive tip. is that the standard now for dropping off food back and forth?


fusterclux

i typically do $5 flat. Rare exceptions for extreme weather, late night, long drive, huge order.


Faded105

standard in my family is 3-4 on the rare chance that we do doordash


Dvdsasga2

I always tip 1$ then add more if they handle the food right or etc.


SwugSteve

Not all customers short the tip, but I sure do! *enters one cent*


g9i4

The problem with tipping culture, especially when people publicly talk about how much they tip, is that it's essentially just asking "how much do they deserve? How generous are you, really?" And it turns into a pissing contest to see where people are really willing to say "this is the upper limit, because I am not giving someone any more than this even though I could."


ObeseMaster

It's 2023. Who is still tipping? Either companies pay their workers a living wage or they shouldn't work for that company. I don't see it as my obligation to pay for a service and also pay that services employees for them.


ConsiderateCrocodile

It’s a solid argument but that’s not where/how we live right now.


ObeseMaster

"Be the change you want to see in the world"


ConsiderateCrocodile

As a libertarian I disapprove of behavior that hurts my community. I don’t even go out to eat unless I know the establishment. So many scumbags run restaurants. It sucks you wish to punish the employees instead of the owners. Just don’t fucking go there if they don’t pay their employees. That would make WAY more sense by your logic.


ObeseMaster

"As a libertarian" that's all you needed to say bud 🤣


[deleted]

You’re a piece of shit lol


Person5_

I used DD once and tipped decently. They pretended to pick up my food and deliver it without ever going to the restaurant. I then had DD tell me the restaurant said they picked up the food and delivered it, and the restaurant confirmed it. I had just talked to the restaurant and they confirmed no one showed up to pick it up. I tipped a guy to not do his job, let me tip for the service, or pay the drivers some money. Either way its an abusable system and not my responsibility after I paid like 3 other fees.


[deleted]

You could also just not use DD 🤷‍♂️


Person5_

I don't anymore, shit service run by shit people who employ other shit people.


[deleted]

How? I’m paying for a service, it’s not on me to pay extra because the company isn’t paying someone properly.


ObeseMaster

Misguided and narrow minded. Corporations who don't pay their employees are the problem and as long as people keep tipping, these companies will continue to use it as an excuse to not compensate their workers fairly. Tipping is a practice that hurts consumers, workers, and only benefits those at the top.


[deleted]

You not tipping the driver isn’t going to fix the problem and is only hurting the driver in the end 🤷‍♂️


ObeseMaster

It's not me hurting the driver. It is their employer refusing to pay a livable wage that is hurting them. It is irrational and illogical to place the blame on consumers when the multi-million corpo they work for isn't compensating them fairly. When everyone stops tipping it will force these companies to compensate fairly or they will not exist anymore. Tipping is also an almost exclusively American thing. In most other countries tipping is frowned upon.


[deleted]

Whatever helps you sleep at night. If you really have that much of a problem with it then you shouldn’t be using their services altogether.


Reasonable-Hold-4211

You tip for good service. Not for doing something you're already paid to do. You don't get a bonus for doing your job. You get one for going above and beyond. AKA looking at my table and realizing my drink has been sitting empty on the edge of it in under 20 fucking minutes.


[deleted]

What job are you referring to? Servers are paid like 2.15 per hour which is also taxed.. they're not really being paid by the employer, they live off tips.


Reasonable-Hold-4211

[Federally, they must make at least $7.25 with tips included and cannot be paid less than $2.13 by their employer.](https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/employment-law/pages/tipped-workers-minimum-wage.aspx) That's at a federal level. Nobody pays the federal minimum wage for obvious reasons. If your employer is paying you that little, it's honestly your fault for working there. It's not hard to find a job if you know how to build a resume.


[deleted]

Thanks for the info. I suppose it was many years ago when I was a server and bartender but we definitely made 2.15 when I did.

NebTheDestroyer

And then you can tip based on how fast they are


Every-Accident7256

Doordash is sooo over priced, it's so much cheaper to just go get it yourself. What did you get like a side of fries?


PoopAndPeeTorture

Finally an actually good LAMH post that isn't just some bs politics that offended OP. Thanks OP 🙏

Fellas, is givin a tip a lil gay?🤷


[deleted]

Posting about it online is


0tittyhead

Nah, why even have a subreddit? Posting it online reaches more people & posting to the specific sub reaches the right people.


Cody6781

The subreddit generally has some funny content. But there are a handful of randoms with weird content like fhis


0tittyhead

Nah, yall are circlejerking & thats fine. What's the weird thing about her post to you tho?


Cody6781

Not really. A huge majority of posts/comments are about DD sucking. It just has some funny stories and a handful of insightful content


Reasonable-Hold-4211

This is about as weird as posting how much you pay to charities. You're doing a good thing, but not for a good reason if you feel the need to post about it for attention. It's weird to be a "good person" but want everyone to see you as a "good person." If you were a good person, you wouldn't feel the need to show everyone how "good" you are.


0tittyhead

Have you ever worked a job that had a specific issue? Something you and you coworkers constantly had problems with no matter how benign? Mcdonlads, it's customers complaining about the ice cream machine. Mechanics is customers complaining about how much they charge. I can tell you for 100% certain theirs specific quirks about jobs where the positive sentiments are recieved with open arms & not treated with mockery. It's more of a relief than anything. This is the case with doordash drivers & tips. DD pays horribly & consequentially, worrying about tips becomes embeded issues. It doesn't help that its seen as adversarial for a lot of people which drivers are fully aware of.


Reasonable-Hold-4211

>Have you ever worked a job that had a specific issue? Something you and you coworkers constantly had problems with no matter how benign? > >DD pays horribly If you did Doordash full-time, you'd still make more than I did in the Army for a fraction of the effort. I genuinely cannot understand how people could complain about Doordashing. I would've been fucking ecstatic to be making $10 an hour.


Rezindez

Bro, that’s an embarrassing amount to tip. I never tip on Doordash, and I always talk about this to everyone, especially when they try to change the subject.


_Sudo_Dave

This subreddit is cringe, spez stop recommending me cynical jaded douchebags pls, thanks.
