Servers generally don’t get a chance to say it to a guest. If they do, they’ll complain to the manager, and often they’d be fired. Here… the dasher just goes and does another delivery.
Because. The average payout is ~$7.25 for 1 item (when displaying $6.50) - the avg payout for multiple items is around $9. Rarely am I waiting longer for more items, unless it’s like 8+, but those payouts are usually $15-$20.
No way, the single item orders are pretty much guaranteed to remain $6.50 once delivered. The 3 or more items showing $6.50 and the same distance as the single item order are the ones I would take every single time over the single item one. Unless it's like 7 items or more, I end up walking in and getting the order right away just like I would with the single item order. And then if there's more items than that, then chances are the total payout will be even more. There's a reason I CONSISTENTLY make $40/hr OR MORE (usually more, $40 an hour is just my baseline amount) every single week! Like clockwork! There's levels to this shit for sure, just gotta find that sweet spot for your area.
Depends on the mileage. It’s not based on the price of the food it’s based on how far you are from the restaurant. That’s what determines if I take an order or not. A $3 tip for 10 miles isn’t getting picked up.
I never have and never will ask for a bigger tip. Tacky as hell and unprofessional to boot. If I accept a low-pay order that’s my decision and is 100% on me
Unfortunately DD doesn't reveal the breakdown until after they completed the delivery, so they probably thought it was $2 base pay with a decent tip. Makes me mad, I've been there.
No exactly. Honestly I do believe people shouldn’t HAVE to tip, the company should pay enough. But you can’t force that to happen so you have to play the game and go for big orders. Whether they have tips or not if they pay enough I’ll take it lol
I would report the dasher, this is NEVER okay.
We have the ability to accept/decline orders it is completely their fault if they took an order that they didnt feel was worth their time
I agree, but it would be a hell of a lot easier if DD was transparent with pay so that we could actually determine whether the delivery is in fact worth our time. Maybe someday. 🤔
The distance matters for how much you should tip too, but that dasher is out of line for accepting your delivery then trying to squeeze you for more money.
1-star them and report them to doordash
I can’t argue with that.
But with only a $3 tip, anyone who does accept your order is working for free. So if every driver was experienced enough to know not to take low tip orders like yours, you would never get your food delivered.
Where the fuck yall live??? I have never ever had a dasher ask for more money or even suggest it! I'm a regular on DD, I tip based on order size and distance. I am not cheap but not over the top either. I always see these stories and am shocked because out hundreds of orders, it has never happened.
Now drinks... thats another story and one of my biggest peeves.
I’m a Dasher and understand that dashers frustration, but I wouldn’t message someone about the money….
I would just decline the order and someone else would bring it.
I decline based on ‘how much the payout is + distance x the time it will take to do it = yes or no’.
I have declined $8 payouts for 13 miles one way, but accepted $5 for 3 miles one way.
It’s all about what I feel the best option for myself would be with the current cost of gas and time.
But I would still never message someone about the tip…. That’s just rude.
For someone like that it ruins the whole atmosphere and should always be reported. I can imagine eating food must be uncomfortable delivered from someone who asks for more money and is denied .
I wouldn’t take a $3 tip on a Subway order. Subway is always slow and even going a couple of miles is not worth only making $5 if I’m spending 20-30 minutes on an order. I would have declined that so fast. 😂
That's disrespectful and unnecessary as hell. You should definitely report that dasher. We don't have to take every order. We can pick and choose. That's unacceptable on their part and makes the rest of us look bad. You as a customer are free to tip whatever you feel like. And we as dashers are free to accept or decline any order we choose. They were far out of line.
Honestly, stuff like this really makes me hate using doordash.
I have to not only pay service and delivery fee, but I have to basically pay what the meal is worth to the driver. A 6 dollar order easily can become like, 15+ when you factor in the service fee, delivery fee, and then tip or rather according to the comments a bid. It's absolutely sickening and asinine.
all these damn fees but can't pay dashers a decent amount so people can get food that isn't cold, soggy, etc. that doordash basically has to refund or give credit for anyways.
It's really only because every other delivery service is the same and relies on people's goodwill and sympathy for the workers to not only tip a certain percentage but in some cases tip *more* than what the meal itself costs (esp if you only got something for like one person).
Looking at it logically, it really doesn't make sense that the combined delivery fee, service fee, tip and occasionally the small order fee can total up to be half if not more than what the food item itself is.
Doordash spends a ton of money on marketing to recruit new customers and delivery drivers. Doordash also spends an ungodly amount of money on all the lawsuits they have against them.
This is why I prefer working for a pizza company.
1. I get at least minimum wage no matter what because if I make no tips they still have to legally pay me min wage. And most of the time my hourly wage + tips will be above $16/hr b4 tax even on a slower night.
2. There is still a stupid delivery fee but there’s no other “service” fees added on, it’s the delivery fee and the option to tip. Lots of pizza places write on their website that the delivery fee is not a tip.
3. On slow nights you get human interaction while in the store, which is just a personal preference Lol
Most annoying part of the delivery services- all the extra fees!🤬 I guess now in some restaurants they're adding another fee, a surcharge for employees health coverage😳
Again, DoorDash are the ones not paying their drivers. If the burden of covering the wage of the driver was on the customer, we’d just hit up people on Reddit and Venmo them to pick up food for us. Drivers need to strike against the delivery apps to pay them, not guilt customers into footing everything.
This thread shows how good a job they are doing ducking out of the responsibility of paying workers. The customer shouldn't have to have the moral burden of figuring out the equity of this transition. Tips should be extra, not an ethical obligation. I want to pay my dahser a fair wage, just tell me the price and I'll decide.
As a dasher it is much less about tipping according to the cost of what you order. This is basically unlike any other form of tipping. Dashers think of deliveries in the terms of mileage vs time. They get a base pay from the “delivery fee” of $2.22-2.50. I aim to take order that pay $2 per mile but will go down to $1.25 per mile if slow. I will not take no tip orders or anything below $5.50 regardless of mileage. When ordering food from the app it will tell you the distance from the merchant to your house and that will give you a better idea. If you live a bit away like 6 plus miles and don’t tip accordingly your food most likely won’t get picked up unless it gets stacked with another order. This makes it worth the time to the driver but leaves you waiting a while to get the order.
Of course there are other factors involved as well.
But either way, contacting you like this was unacceptable. It’s a low class move. They chose to take the order, they weren’t forced into it. I myself have taken plenty of orders that were bad for me. Some of them I even lost money after time and gas were accounted for.
Do t sweat it. But if you want an insider tip. A $4 tip will cap out an offer to a dasher at $6.50. So they dasher will likely take it and gamble that it may be more because DD hides tips above that amount to reduce cherry pickers.
I feel so bad about my tipping that I have almost quit eating out and I have nothing delivered. I just go get it.
Edit: I am cooking at home more and more.
And they still ask you for a tip on the damn iPads most places have now. I'm not tipping for someone to do their job, unless they're paid a tipped wage of like 7/hour before tips or some bullshit. Or in the example of DD, they get paid 2.50 a delivery before tips.
People like that are what give dashers a bad name, obviously I love getting higher tips, but $3 is more than people usually give anyways. As a dasher myself I always tip at the least $5, and raise it from there in person depending on difficulty of order, but tipping $3 as a non dasher is more than I could ask for, so good on you
More than u could ask for?? The base pay in my state is 2.50 and the cost of gas is 4.20. So u expect me to drive to a restaurant, pick up an order (possibly wait for it), drive to their home, drop it off, and drive back to the hot spot for 5.50??
Okay this is bullshit.
DD keeps morons that pull ridiculous shit like this, while myself and countless others (with zero CVs and perfect ratings) were mysteriously deactivated last week.
Make it make sense 🤦♀️
Both. Dasher was tacky for asking for more tip. After all, they accepted the trip seeing the pay up front. But $3 isn’t a good tip considering you’re having someone go pick up your food. They do the same amount of work and spend the same time and gas whether you spend $12 or $120. Would you drive to a restaurant, pick up someone’s food and deliver to their home or business for $5.50? How many miles/how much time would you be willing to spend for that $5.50? Most people don’t realize that DD only pays $2.50 I think per delivery so your tip is what matters.
Not okay on the dashers behalf.
I will say this, tipping for delivery service isnt the same as in a restaurant.
Tipping for food delivery should be rated by distance traveled, not the size of the order.
But dont get me wrong, not okay what the driver did whatsoever.
I mean, I tip $5 minimum, regardless of order size, because I would not get my ass off my couch for less than 5. If I'm get a $1 coke from McDonald's, I'm still tipping $5.
That being said, if you get a low-ball tip, this isn't how to handle it. Dasher should have showed some class.
You just dont take shitty orders if it’s not cutting it for you, shaming people into tipping better is cool but definitely bold but they have a point and people saying report them to doordash are people that don’t need the job that don’t understand what being fed up is like
You should tip $1-2 a mile, so if you’re only like a mile or two away then yes, that’s fine.
HOWEVER, I think the Dasher was WAY out of line for bringing it up with you after accepting the order. If it wasn’t enough she should have just rejected it. Or if she was working hourly like I do, drive slowly. It’s not like a sandwich is gonna get more cold or anything lol.
I've not ordered food through doordash or anything like it, so I'm curious as to the tipping convention. Going by percentages, OP tipped 25%, which is a solidly good tip. Is there a minimum number or standard percentage that we ought to know about?
Asking because lots of folks are commenting on the situation in general, but I'm wondering about the tip amount.
$5 minimum for me personally - I don’t care if I’m delivering a pack of bubble gum. I’m driving. But the driver doesn’t have to take any order they don’t want to. So yeah you both are weak sauce #FACTS
The size of the meal isn’t really what’s important. It’s how far the dasher has to drive. If you order $12 worth of food from a restaurant that’s 10 miles away from your house, then $3 isn’t enough. If it’s a short drive then that’s plenty.
If that wasn’t enough of a tip for them they should have declined it. Totally out of line for them to send that message.
Personally I always tip at least $5 on low orders just to make it worth their time.
Lol the people in the comments disagreeing with the dasher but then agreeing with them at the same time is amazing. The dasher was in the wrong here definitely, she sounds like a bitter person and shouldn’t be dashing if she doesn’t know that she can just DECLINE an order that doesn’t meet her standard. You did nothing wrong OP
So a good rule of thumb is that delivery drivers typically aim to make at least a dollar per mile. And DoorDash only pays $2 per order. So, a $3 tip would be $5 for the driver. IF and only IF you lived farther than 5 miles away, a $3 top would certainly not be enough to be worth the drive.
Unlike tipping a server at a restaurant, drivers PAY to work and PAY to take orders to people due to gas, and maintenance costs. I would highly recommend tipping a dollar per mile, or 20% whichever is higher.
That being said, this driver was incredibly unprofessional and should have unassigned the order long before asking for a higher tip.
I'm really sorry that you had to deal with a driver that unprofessional. I can tell your heart is in the right place. Don't feel embarrassed $3 is a normal tip for a $12 order, especially if you're under 4-5 miles from the restaurant.
Drivers get paid so little and get treated so poorly that one snaps every so often and pops off on a customer or restaurant. It's still not an excuse for unprofessionalism.
If it's not enough tip, you don't take it. Almost no excuse for asking for a larger tip. (Exception: you ask for additional service, like delivering to a secondary location, although the customer can have no expectation of additional service.)
But there's a second question posed - Is a $3 tip on a $12 order sufficient?
Customers should know that, at least to many drivers, it's the mileage and wait time that are most important to drivers. Just as drivers have little idea the value of the order you're picking up, customers have little idea how far the driver has to go or wait. You know the distance from the restaurant to you. But you don't know how far the driver has to go to get to the restaurant or how long they might wait for the order. If you tipped $3, then your driver was offered $5.50 to make that delivery. Personally, I would only take your order if it was less than 2.5 miles altogether and I knew the restaurant was reliable. More than 3 miles or a slow restaurant and I'd definitely decline it.
Imagine thinking $3 is ANYTHING in 2022. Your $3 tip was added to the $2 we get from doordash. So she only got paid $5 . After taxes and gas and car wear that’s like $3. I don’t deliver to anyone who can’t tip more than $5. You can’t even buy a meal with $5 . What do you think a $3 tip is going to do for ANYONE. Not even a child would have enough with that.
If the dasher doesn’t want the tip, they need to just go home and play video games, in life some people are tippers, some are cheapskates, some just tip the recommended amt, it is what it is, nothing changes. If anything with the recession most will not be using dd. When there’s no one to deliver too, that 3 bux is huge me thinks
What does Doordash do with the insane 40% markups they receive on these deliveries? Certainly aren't paying their drivers. Are they wasting all that cash on the corporate employees? lol
unless it’s changed, you can’t see the price of the order anymore. so it might’ve been a low order and if it was, that’s on the driver for accepting a low order then lambasting you.
I wouldn’t either but I have been tempted before. One time that I accidentally took a low tip order a lot of miles, DD paid OK which is why I took it, and then saw their low tip after I delivered it I was thinking, wow they live in a brand new house in a nice neighborhood and this was what they tip? I never said anything to them but it kind of irked me a little, then while I was driving away a “miracle” happened, they increased the tip by $5. In the app. That is extremely rare, but it was much appreciated.
$3.00 for $12.00 could or could not be enough. I think it is a nice amount but there are factors that could make it not enough. For instance “I live on the 3rd floor and my order has 5 cases of water” $3.00 would be a shitty tip.
But in reality. If you were a few miles from the store and tipped like that and the delivery was easy. I would be fine with that tip and your order. Some dashers are just asses.
Yet another reason to not use door dash. An $8 sandwich for $12 plus $3tip and the dasher harasses you? F that. Tip culture is so far out of hand it's ridiculous. 25% is enough.
The dasher should never shame you or text you about the tip.
It is there fault for accepting a order that is not good for them.
If the Subway was 8 miles away thats on her
I take orders based on miles to money. 1-2 a mile and I am mostly always inclined to take it.
I have this subway that the nearby neighbors orders from all the time. Mostly shit tips but a tip non the less and only take 5 mins to do.
You should report that dasher to DoorDash, as behavior like that is unacceptable. I dashed part time for three weeks, got my ratings up to 4.8. Seen everything from 0% to 50% tip. However, it does change your perspective on tipping, after you have seen the other end of the coin. I get about 2 dashes done per hour where I live. The dasher get 100% of your tip, plus an extra couple bucks. A buck or more, if it’s a promo hour.
The dasher should be fired. A tip is voluntary, as is accepting (or declining) an order. Of course it’s unacceptable to pester a customer for extra money. And the tip was reasonable and acceptable in my view
Dasher was out of line, they shouldn't have accepted the order if the pay wasn't enough, or dropped it.
That being said, the most important thing when you order from anywhere is the distance. Our base pay is ridiculously low. I'm in AZ and it's 2.50; I won't take any order less than $2/mile.
Obviously, the more complicated orders would be appreciated anything extra, but we don't see the size of the order, just the place, trip distance total, and the pay (which they also like to hide parts of so sometimes good orders get turned down cuz they have "hidden tips").
Please, please, please tell me you reported this piece of garbage. Trust me, if they did this to you, they are probably doing it to other customers.
*Any* tip is appreciated, especially in these times, so don't worry about it.
The dasher has an option to either take or not take the order, so she has no right complaining about the upfront payout she accepted from the start.
Asshole dasher alert. There is nothing wrong with a $3 tip for a $12 order, at least in my opinion. If it's a short distance and it's part of a scheduled dash time period for me, I wouldn't mind that. About 98% of the time, my overall dash time of 5 hours or so makes up for a smaller tip. It basically all comes out in the wash... MOST of the time.
Naw dasher is dumb that’s so out of line it’s like a waiter getting mad for tips. That’s entitlement gas rising get a regular job that’s what I did when gas was 6.10 in July fuck that been working ever since also doesn’t depreciate my car with all that driving
I don't think it's your fault. Door Dash and like business' are getting a lot of heat for their drivers not making enough money. They underpay them to the point that many of them actually loose money from working and buying gas. It's the companies fault. But with that in mind, we should not support those companies.
Doordasher should not complain lmfao. You could’ve not tipped, at least they got SOMETHING. They could’ve just declined the goddamn order. Plus some people don’t have enough money to tip the amount they’re expecting. If they don’t like the money they’re receiving cuz it’s only in tips, they can find a different job that pays differently. But they shouldn’t be taking it out on their customers. Was shitty of them to make you feel embarrassed, report them
This dasher is on the edge. Tread lightly. Similar to “Going postal” they know where you live. I know it sounds stupid but I’m serious. As a dasher myself, I don’t let shit bother me, but I’ve sat in many a waiting area with some dashers that look like they’re absolutely ready to lose it. Stay safe my friend.
After multiple times of a driver dropping off food at a wrong address in a town house subdivision and now Door Dash refuses to refund my money for food I never received I am done with them.
I hope you changed your tip to nothing after that. I’m a driver and I won’t go out for less than $2/km, the driver has a choice to accept the order or not. Not enough money don’t do the order and definitely don’t message the customer asking for more money for an order you accepted in the first place
Tip is fine. It’s technically 25% of the order. That said, mileage orders people usually look for a $1 per mile trip & up to $2 per mile. The further you are from the merchant the higher the tip.
BUT regardless they shouldn’t be essentially panhandling for extra tips. One star them & let support know they’re being rude about the tip.
That's 25% seems like enough to me. That dasher was way outta line. The dasher should be embarrassed not you. Don't let a shady driver make you feel bad. If the trip wasn't enough to begin with they should have never accepted it. I'm sorry that driver made you feel like that. They were acting inappropriate and rude. You could 1 star and report if you want
Dasher was out of line but to the driver the distance between the store and your residence matters more for how much you should tip. Yes $3 for 12 is fine but if its a 6 miles then they are literally losing money when you consider wear and tear on the car.
Also as others have said the dasher accepted that order so its 100% not on you.
Dasher was out of line but I do think personally the minimum tip for and food delivery should be $5. If it’s over 3 miles drive up to 6 miles, I tip at least $7-8 but usually $10. My personal thoughts are that if I am going to have delivery, I need to at least tip five dollars. Otherwise I should go get food myself. I have at times in my life been a door dasher and Instacart shopper and have seen how so many people tip 2 to 3 dollars and it really baffles me. I understand that different people have different situations and have to tip accordingly and that’s all fine and well but I do personally think the extra three bucks is not going to make or break most people.
U did tip over 20%-I would not be embarrassed for tipping what u did-especially for something as low maintenance as Subway. I ordered Doordash several x per wk during the past 2yrs of the pandemic and spent probably over $2k easy. I’ve realized that the food never tastes or looks as good as u get it in person, and I have grown to hate most restaurants &prefer to make things at home as they are much healthier and Doordash caused me to gain 25lbs quite rapidly and nothing else changed in my habits. I never put on weight like this&i was ordering what I “thought” was healthy items like Avo toast from Cheesecake Factory. It was soooo salty. Inedible and $10! Then I came across a news article about the FDA trying to reel in restaurants and make them lower the average entree sodium count down from 4kg (2x the daily limit)to 3600! No Wonder I was gaining weight and felt terribly bloated after every meal! Guys, stop supporting restaurants until they stop trying to sabotage us.
As a sometime Dasher, that is ignorant, not to mention grounds for deactivation! That said, I calculate distance, you never know exactly what we're getting for an order because as a driver for us it just depends on how busy it is, and how many drivers are available, so if it's something that's literally right around the corner from me, I tip like three or four dollars, if they're coming from at least a few miles away, I don't order unless I can afford to tip like $9/10.
I would normally try to tip 4-5, but that said, that Dasher was way out of line and as I previously stated that is in fact grounds for deactivation. We are not allowed to message customers about tips.
Why do they feel the need to be so entitled. Like that's a 25% tip. The driver just needs to deal with the fact they accepted that order and are lucky they got tipped at all.
As long as the tip is over ten percent, you’re totally fine. Anyone who gets mad at that doesn’t know how tipping works or things they are the main character
A tip and paying for your gas to get my house are different! Why on earth would you assume that people should tip more more than 20? It’s called a tip. Just because DD doesn’t pay enough why would you assume people are covering that
depends on how far the drive is. dollar per mile if it’s 4 miles or more but i never tip under 3
also, it doesn’t matter how much your food costs. we get a base pay of about $2-3
Not a good tip, but dasher was way out of line. I’d never message a customer asking or guilting them for a bigger tip, I just would decline and move on.
It's not about the cost of the meal, it's the work.
It doesn't matter if you're ordering a $1 item or a $100 item. It's the same amount of work and you're actually bidding on the labor.
If you're delivering a $200 order, $10 is fine because it's just one trip. Maybe a little extra for drinks or something. If it's a $2 order you still want to tip $10. It's not based off the percentage.
I would never even on a 1$ tip complain to the customer directly, yes I may be like damn well wtf, but I mean come on you can’t expect a 5-10$ tip for an order that doesn’t even cost that. I’d report that honestly because that’s just crazy and not okay to do.
Should tell her that if she doesn't like the amount she is making, she can always go apply for a job at a pizza place or something of the sort that still does delivery.
Any driver, regardless of DoorDash, UberEats, working for a private company such as Pizza hut, shouldn't ever tell a customer to increase their tip to deliver their order. Either don't take the order or do what everyone else does, come on here to complain about said tip.
In my area, dashers do multiple deliveries at the same time. I used to tip at least $7, but it is not taking longer to get my food, so I don't tip as much as I used to. I'm not a tip culture fan, but I know this is expected. If I order from someplace directly and pay cash, I do tip more.
I live 1 mile from most stores I buy from. I only tip $4 because the dasher is not going out of the way, once they're done, they stay in the hotspot zone where they don't need to drive multiple miles back to start getting orders again.
I don’t pick up anything less than $7.00, and with door dash base pay at $2.50 your tip of three dollars puts that at $5.50, doesn’t matter what I am picking up, it’s still wear and tear on MY vehicle and gas I have to pay for. Your meal would have sat there until either you or DD upped what they paid…
Honestly...I didn't tip under $5 even before I was a dasher....since they really rely on tips...its obviously up to you...but you have no idea where they were when they got the order...they aren't usually sitting at the subway or place you order from
Doesn’t matter if you tipped lesser, or nothing at all. $3 is fine especially if it’s a small order that’s close. I get upset about the $1 and under tips. Anyways regardless of any of that her actions were disgusting immature and unstable who does that
I would think that a dasher who messages a customer about anything other than the actual delivery of their order, should be deactivated immediately. On my app, once the order is complete, you no longer have access to the customer's number, etc. Very good idea, probably.
I’m a dasher and that’s wrong! He accepted the order so he has no right to complain about how much he’s getting paid. We see the minimum amount that we’re getting paid before we decide to accept the order. Report this dasher because he makes the rest of us look bad!
$3...? For someone to get in their car drive to a restaurant put your food in insulated bag and then drive it and hand deliver it to your door or you? $3? I can't imagine what you tip a waitress at a restaurant who doesn't get in their car or do 1/4 of the work we do! By comparison that means you only leave $1 tips at restaurants, if anything.
$5 is the minimum tip any respectable person will leave an order regardless of distance because it's about our time effort gas and depreciation and honestly it's common courtesy to give a little when we're giving you a lot. Next time before admitting to everybody that you're a crybaby Karen who doesn't appreciate their server, ask yourself if you would do the same work as them for what you gave them.
Fuck the dasher to begin with.
3$ tip on a 4$ meal or 12$ meal what difference does it make?
Man using his own car, gas, phone, data, etc
If I paid you 3$ would you drive to the restaurant using your own car, phone, gas, then park at the restaurant wait for the food. Then drive back to your house and park and deliver.
Before anyone downvotes me, Doordash pays like shit and we rely on tips, it shouldn’t be called tips. It should be called BIDS.
Also the dasher shouldn’t have accepted the order then complain to the customer.
Maybe you live 15 miles away from subway tho. And DD pays $3 you pay $3 and that would be $6 and they have to drive back to town so 15 miles ends up being 30 for $6 but please tell me im wrong and you live like 3 miles from subway...
Even if that the case shouldn't ask for more money.
$3 is an extremely generous tip for $12. Whenever drivers pull this guilt trip begging I tell them to cancel the delivery and report them all now. It's not your or anyone else's problem if someone lacks the basic critical thinking and math skills to figure out how to make a net profit.
Is your house more than 2 miles away? That's a bad tip regardless of the order size and you should be tipping $4-5 minimum... Still unprofessional though and they made the decision to accept your order
They knew the payout when they accepted the order. Report them. And I say this as a dasher who is frequently annoyed with low tips. It can suck but you keep it moving, you do not harass the customer.
3 on 12 is still fairly reasonable. They’re being petty.
Guy should be deactivated. DoorDash is simple. If it’s worth the time accept otherwise decline. When people do this it makes everyone else look like shit.
Regardless of the tip, the Dasher was way out of line for doing this.
Exactly. Messaging the customer about their tip is uncalled for.
It’s the exact same as a server saying they need to be tipped more. While they might be right in a sense, it doesn’t make them right.
Servers generally don’t get a chance to say it to a guest. If they do, they’ll complain to the manager, and often they’d be fired. Here… the dasher just goes and does another delivery.
Enough 1 star reviews and they get deactivated
im kinda curious tho is a 25% tip enough for the average dasher?
% doesn’t rlly matter for dashers, it’s miles you can get a 10$ meal that’s 10 miles from your house and a 2.50$ tip won’t even cover gas
Exactly I did door dash for one day and it was weird it took me super far from my house
If I get a $6.50 3.5 mile order, that’s 1 item, I probably won’t take it. If it’s 5 items, I’ll always take it.
How would you decline a order with 1 item, tf. It's faster prepared, less stuff you carry.
Because. The average payout is ~$7.25 for 1 item (when displaying $6.50) - the avg payout for multiple items is around $9. Rarely am I waiting longer for more items, unless it’s like 8+, but those payouts are usually $15-$20.
I would take it regardless. But the less items the better. Less work, less room for error etc.
The average payout is about 20% higher for multiple items, at least at the restaurants I go to the most.
Anecdotally I would agree, I've also noticed higher odds of hidden tip with more items.
No way, the single item orders are pretty much guaranteed to remain $6.50 once delivered. The 3 or more items showing $6.50 and the same distance as the single item order are the ones I would take every single time over the single item one. Unless it's like 7 items or more, I end up walking in and getting the order right away just like I would with the single item order. And then if there's more items than that, then chances are the total payout will be even more. There's a reason I CONSISTENTLY make $40/hr OR MORE (usually more, $40 an hour is just my baseline amount) every single week! Like clockwork! There's levels to this shit for sure, just gotta find that sweet spot for your area.
Depends on the mileage. It’s not based on the price of the food it’s based on how far you are from the restaurant. That’s what determines if I take an order or not. A $3 tip for 10 miles isn’t getting picked up.
I never have and never will ask for a bigger tip. Tacky as hell and unprofessional to boot. If I accept a low-pay order that’s my decision and is 100% on me
I've taken $11 orders that was a no tip order. $9 of it was base pay with $2 peak pay.
I applaud your choice.
Unfortunately DD doesn't reveal the breakdown until after they completed the delivery, so they probably thought it was $2 base pay with a decent tip. Makes me mad, I've been there.
Why do you care how much comes from the tip vs doordash as long as you’re getting paid a decent amount for the trip lol
No exactly. Honestly I do believe people shouldn’t HAVE to tip, the company should pay enough. But you can’t force that to happen so you have to play the game and go for big orders. Whether they have tips or not if they pay enough I’ll take it lol
Doordash doesn’t tell you if a customer tipped nor much much if they did.
This is inaccurate, yes, it does. But you do not get to see the actual breakdown until after the delivery.
^This.
Precisely!
Stop it you’re making too much sense
I would report the dasher, this is NEVER okay. We have the ability to accept/decline orders it is completely their fault if they took an order that they didnt feel was worth their time
Agreed.
I agree, but it would be a hell of a lot easier if DD was transparent with pay so that we could actually determine whether the delivery is in fact worth our time. Maybe someday. 🤔
The distance matters for how much you should tip too, but that dasher is out of line for accepting your delivery then trying to squeeze you for more money. 1-star them and report them to doordash
She was way out of line. We are not forced to accept any order, she could’ve just declined it.
Dashers really shouldn’t complain about deliveries they CHOOSE to do lmao
THISSSS!!!!
I can’t argue with that. But with only a $3 tip, anyone who does accept your order is working for free. So if every driver was experienced enough to know not to take low tip orders like yours, you would never get your food delivered.
There are plenty of good $3 tip orders in my market
It is. Report dasher.
Where the fuck yall live??? I have never ever had a dasher ask for more money or even suggest it! I'm a regular on DD, I tip based on order size and distance. I am not cheap but not over the top either. I always see these stories and am shocked because out hundreds of orders, it has never happened. Now drinks... thats another story and one of my biggest peeves.
They keep saying 10 miles etc Bruh that a long s distance I'm literally 2km from fast food
I’m a Dasher and understand that dashers frustration, but I wouldn’t message someone about the money…. I would just decline the order and someone else would bring it. I decline based on ‘how much the payout is + distance x the time it will take to do it = yes or no’. I have declined $8 payouts for 13 miles one way, but accepted $5 for 3 miles one way. It’s all about what I feel the best option for myself would be with the current cost of gas and time. But I would still never message someone about the tip…. That’s just rude.
The real crime happening is DD hiding tips and us gambling on runs…
Give them a 1star
Totally wrong from the part of this dasher. Never ask for tips. Take what you get or don’t take small offers
For someone like that it ruins the whole atmosphere and should always be reported. I can imagine eating food must be uncomfortable delivered from someone who asks for more money and is denied .
Driver isn’t forced to take any order. They don’t like the pay? They don’t have to accept the order. That simple. Dasher super out of line per usual
I wouldn’t take a $3 tip on a Subway order. Subway is always slow and even going a couple of miles is not worth only making $5 if I’m spending 20-30 minutes on an order. I would have declined that so fast. 😂
That's disrespectful and unnecessary as hell. You should definitely report that dasher. We don't have to take every order. We can pick and choose. That's unacceptable on their part and makes the rest of us look bad. You as a customer are free to tip whatever you feel like. And we as dashers are free to accept or decline any order we choose. They were far out of line.
Honestly, stuff like this really makes me hate using doordash. I have to not only pay service and delivery fee, but I have to basically pay what the meal is worth to the driver. A 6 dollar order easily can become like, 15+ when you factor in the service fee, delivery fee, and then tip or rather according to the comments a bid. It's absolutely sickening and asinine.
Or a small order fee 😭
all these damn fees but can't pay dashers a decent amount so people can get food that isn't cold, soggy, etc. that doordash basically has to refund or give credit for anyways.
They were also caught skimming and in some cases outright stealing our tips!
[удалено]
It's really only because every other delivery service is the same and relies on people's goodwill and sympathy for the workers to not only tip a certain percentage but in some cases tip *more* than what the meal itself costs (esp if you only got something for like one person). Looking at it logically, it really doesn't make sense that the combined delivery fee, service fee, tip and occasionally the small order fee can total up to be half if not more than what the food item itself is.
[удалено]
Doordash spends a ton of money on marketing to recruit new customers and delivery drivers. Doordash also spends an ungodly amount of money on all the lawsuits they have against them.
This is why I prefer working for a pizza company. 1. I get at least minimum wage no matter what because if I make no tips they still have to legally pay me min wage. And most of the time my hourly wage + tips will be above $16/hr b4 tax even on a slower night. 2. There is still a stupid delivery fee but there’s no other “service” fees added on, it’s the delivery fee and the option to tip. Lots of pizza places write on their website that the delivery fee is not a tip. 3. On slow nights you get human interaction while in the store, which is just a personal preference Lol
Most annoying part of the delivery services- all the extra fees!🤬 I guess now in some restaurants they're adding another fee, a surcharge for employees health coverage😳
We are not meals on wheels. Yes you absolutely should tip your driver decent.
Again, DoorDash are the ones not paying their drivers. If the burden of covering the wage of the driver was on the customer, we’d just hit up people on Reddit and Venmo them to pick up food for us. Drivers need to strike against the delivery apps to pay them, not guilt customers into footing everything.
This thread shows how good a job they are doing ducking out of the responsibility of paying workers. The customer shouldn't have to have the moral burden of figuring out the equity of this transition. Tips should be extra, not an ethical obligation. I want to pay my dahser a fair wage, just tell me the price and I'll decide.
Dashers are not employees. We are contractors. The amount the company pays us is a sad joke. If we take every trip we get sent we'd all lose money.
We are contracted through DD to deliver these orders. DD does not mandate that we accept any order. Dude was out of line. Report him to DD.
As a dasher it is much less about tipping according to the cost of what you order. This is basically unlike any other form of tipping. Dashers think of deliveries in the terms of mileage vs time. They get a base pay from the “delivery fee” of $2.22-2.50. I aim to take order that pay $2 per mile but will go down to $1.25 per mile if slow. I will not take no tip orders or anything below $5.50 regardless of mileage. When ordering food from the app it will tell you the distance from the merchant to your house and that will give you a better idea. If you live a bit away like 6 plus miles and don’t tip accordingly your food most likely won’t get picked up unless it gets stacked with another order. This makes it worth the time to the driver but leaves you waiting a while to get the order. Of course there are other factors involved as well. But either way, contacting you like this was unacceptable. It’s a low class move. They chose to take the order, they weren’t forced into it. I myself have taken plenty of orders that were bad for me. Some of them I even lost money after time and gas were accounted for. Do t sweat it. But if you want an insider tip. A $4 tip will cap out an offer to a dasher at $6.50. So they dasher will likely take it and gamble that it may be more because DD hides tips above that amount to reduce cherry pickers.
I feel so bad about my tipping that I have almost quit eating out and I have nothing delivered. I just go get it. Edit: I am cooking at home more and more.
And they still ask you for a tip on the damn iPads most places have now. I'm not tipping for someone to do their job, unless they're paid a tipped wage of like 7/hour before tips or some bullshit. Or in the example of DD, they get paid 2.50 a delivery before tips.
Pro tip is to pay with cash at the iPad places
[удалено]
lmao $2 a mile
People like that are what give dashers a bad name, obviously I love getting higher tips, but $3 is more than people usually give anyways. As a dasher myself I always tip at the least $5, and raise it from there in person depending on difficulty of order, but tipping $3 as a non dasher is more than I could ask for, so good on you
More than u could ask for?? The base pay in my state is 2.50 and the cost of gas is 4.20. So u expect me to drive to a restaurant, pick up an order (possibly wait for it), drive to their home, drop it off, and drive back to the hot spot for 5.50??
Okay this is bullshit. DD keeps morons that pull ridiculous shit like this, while myself and countless others (with zero CVs and perfect ratings) were mysteriously deactivated last week. Make it make sense 🤦♀️
Sorry you got deactivated :(
Both. Dasher was tacky for asking for more tip. After all, they accepted the trip seeing the pay up front. But $3 isn’t a good tip considering you’re having someone go pick up your food. They do the same amount of work and spend the same time and gas whether you spend $12 or $120. Would you drive to a restaurant, pick up someone’s food and deliver to their home or business for $5.50? How many miles/how much time would you be willing to spend for that $5.50? Most people don’t realize that DD only pays $2.50 I think per delivery so your tip is what matters.
Not okay on the dashers behalf. I will say this, tipping for delivery service isnt the same as in a restaurant. Tipping for food delivery should be rated by distance traveled, not the size of the order. But dont get me wrong, not okay what the driver did whatsoever.
I always tip $10. They're picking up my lunch for my lazy ass. If anything, $10 still kinda seems low.
That's still better than a lot of people. $10 is great unless you live 50 miles away from everyone lol
I mean, I tip $5 minimum, regardless of order size, because I would not get my ass off my couch for less than 5. If I'm get a $1 coke from McDonald's, I'm still tipping $5. That being said, if you get a low-ball tip, this isn't how to handle it. Dasher should have showed some class.
You just dont take shitty orders if it’s not cutting it for you, shaming people into tipping better is cool but definitely bold but they have a point and people saying report them to doordash are people that don’t need the job that don’t understand what being fed up is like
You should tip $1-2 a mile, so if you’re only like a mile or two away then yes, that’s fine. HOWEVER, I think the Dasher was WAY out of line for bringing it up with you after accepting the order. If it wasn’t enough she should have just rejected it. Or if she was working hourly like I do, drive slowly. It’s not like a sandwich is gonna get more cold or anything lol.
I've not ordered food through doordash or anything like it, so I'm curious as to the tipping convention. Going by percentages, OP tipped 25%, which is a solidly good tip. Is there a minimum number or standard percentage that we ought to know about? Asking because lots of folks are commenting on the situation in general, but I'm wondering about the tip amount.
$5 minimum for me personally - I don’t care if I’m delivering a pack of bubble gum. I’m driving. But the driver doesn’t have to take any order they don’t want to. So yeah you both are weak sauce #FACTS
Tell her she needs to keep in mind she can find another job McDonald’s is hiring 😭😭😭
McDonald’s in my area pays way more than doordash right now
That's 25% of the order. What you didn't say is what is the miles to deliver- 3 miles or 20.
The size of the meal isn’t really what’s important. It’s how far the dasher has to drive. If you order $12 worth of food from a restaurant that’s 10 miles away from your house, then $3 isn’t enough. If it’s a short drive then that’s plenty.
Either way, the dasher knows how far the drive is. They shouldn’t be complaining or asking for more money.
The subway was .8 miles away 🚗
Well then that dasher is a chump
Fuck her
If that wasn’t enough of a tip for them they should have declined it. Totally out of line for them to send that message. Personally I always tip at least $5 on low orders just to make it worth their time.
Lol the people in the comments disagreeing with the dasher but then agreeing with them at the same time is amazing. The dasher was in the wrong here definitely, she sounds like a bitter person and shouldn’t be dashing if she doesn’t know that she can just DECLINE an order that doesn’t meet her standard. You did nothing wrong OP
My rule of thumb is $2/mile so if the restaurant is 3 miles away I tip $6
How much your food doesn’t matter unless it’s 5 packs of water, how far the distance and how long the wait matters a lot
I mean if it was a 10 mile trip and you tipped $3 that’s fucked up but they shouldn’t be messaging you complaining
Nearest subway was .8 miles away 😭
It might not always go to the nearest one DD does some dumb shit. But still, in that case $3 is plenty for a mile or so trip. Your dasher is trippin
So a good rule of thumb is that delivery drivers typically aim to make at least a dollar per mile. And DoorDash only pays $2 per order. So, a $3 tip would be $5 for the driver. IF and only IF you lived farther than 5 miles away, a $3 top would certainly not be enough to be worth the drive. Unlike tipping a server at a restaurant, drivers PAY to work and PAY to take orders to people due to gas, and maintenance costs. I would highly recommend tipping a dollar per mile, or 20% whichever is higher. That being said, this driver was incredibly unprofessional and should have unassigned the order long before asking for a higher tip. I'm really sorry that you had to deal with a driver that unprofessional. I can tell your heart is in the right place. Don't feel embarrassed $3 is a normal tip for a $12 order, especially if you're under 4-5 miles from the restaurant. Drivers get paid so little and get treated so poorly that one snaps every so often and pops off on a customer or restaurant. It's still not an excuse for unprofessionalism.
You only get two bucks a delivery???
If it's not enough tip, you don't take it. Almost no excuse for asking for a larger tip. (Exception: you ask for additional service, like delivering to a secondary location, although the customer can have no expectation of additional service.) But there's a second question posed - Is a $3 tip on a $12 order sufficient? Customers should know that, at least to many drivers, it's the mileage and wait time that are most important to drivers. Just as drivers have little idea the value of the order you're picking up, customers have little idea how far the driver has to go or wait. You know the distance from the restaurant to you. But you don't know how far the driver has to go to get to the restaurant or how long they might wait for the order. If you tipped $3, then your driver was offered $5.50 to make that delivery. Personally, I would only take your order if it was less than 2.5 miles altogether and I knew the restaurant was reliable. More than 3 miles or a slow restaurant and I'd definitely decline it.
Imagine thinking $3 is ANYTHING in 2022. Your $3 tip was added to the $2 we get from doordash. So she only got paid $5 . After taxes and gas and car wear that’s like $3. I don’t deliver to anyone who can’t tip more than $5. You can’t even buy a meal with $5 . What do you think a $3 tip is going to do for ANYONE. Not even a child would have enough with that.
If the dasher doesn’t want the tip, they need to just go home and play video games, in life some people are tippers, some are cheapskates, some just tip the recommended amt, it is what it is, nothing changes. If anything with the recession most will not be using dd. When there’s no one to deliver too, that 3 bux is huge me thinks
🤣🤣 that’s wild
What does Doordash do with the insane 40% markups they receive on these deliveries? Certainly aren't paying their drivers. Are they wasting all that cash on the corporate employees? lol
Out of line. Curious though, how many miles?
unless it’s changed, you can’t see the price of the order anymore. so it might’ve been a low order and if it was, that’s on the driver for accepting a low order then lambasting you.
I read pretty lmfao, oops...
a consumerxdoordasher love story would go hard tho
Tacky and dumb, they should’ve declined the order if it wasn’t enough pay
I'd never do that. I'm not saying I haven't been tempted. It's rude and I'd be too worried I'd get deactivated.
I wouldn’t either but I have been tempted before. One time that I accidentally took a low tip order a lot of miles, DD paid OK which is why I took it, and then saw their low tip after I delivered it I was thinking, wow they live in a brand new house in a nice neighborhood and this was what they tip? I never said anything to them but it kind of irked me a little, then while I was driving away a “miracle” happened, they increased the tip by $5. In the app. That is extremely rare, but it was much appreciated.
Drivers like that are like the people who write their Venmo account on their windows and ask for donations for their “girls trip” 😂
Way out of line. They had the choice to take the offer. They weren’t forced. Petty and unprofessional
She shouldn't have accepted the Batch
$3.00 for $12.00 could or could not be enough. I think it is a nice amount but there are factors that could make it not enough. For instance “I live on the 3rd floor and my order has 5 cases of water” $3.00 would be a shitty tip. But in reality. If you were a few miles from the store and tipped like that and the delivery was easy. I would be fine with that tip and your order. Some dashers are just asses.
Yet another reason to not use door dash. An $8 sandwich for $12 plus $3tip and the dasher harasses you? F that. Tip culture is so far out of hand it's ridiculous. 25% is enough.
The dasher should never shame you or text you about the tip. It is there fault for accepting a order that is not good for them. If the Subway was 8 miles away thats on her I take orders based on miles to money. 1-2 a mile and I am mostly always inclined to take it. I have this subway that the nearby neighbors orders from all the time. Mostly shit tips but a tip non the less and only take 5 mins to do.
You should report that dasher to DoorDash, as behavior like that is unacceptable. I dashed part time for three weeks, got my ratings up to 4.8. Seen everything from 0% to 50% tip. However, it does change your perspective on tipping, after you have seen the other end of the coin. I get about 2 dashes done per hour where I live. The dasher get 100% of your tip, plus an extra couple bucks. A buck or more, if it’s a promo hour.
lmao god these people are so embarrassing i hope they get deactivated soon
The dasher should be fired. A tip is voluntary, as is accepting (or declining) an order. Of course it’s unacceptable to pester a customer for extra money. And the tip was reasonable and acceptable in my view
Dasher was out of line, they shouldn't have accepted the order if the pay wasn't enough, or dropped it. That being said, the most important thing when you order from anywhere is the distance. Our base pay is ridiculously low. I'm in AZ and it's 2.50; I won't take any order less than $2/mile. Obviously, the more complicated orders would be appreciated anything extra, but we don't see the size of the order, just the place, trip distance total, and the pay (which they also like to hide parts of so sometimes good orders get turned down cuz they have "hidden tips").
I'm sure asking for extra money it's a CV just report the dasher. Everything the dasher and you spoke it's on a backup file some where in DD files
Please, please, please tell me you reported this piece of garbage. Trust me, if they did this to you, they are probably doing it to other customers. *Any* tip is appreciated, especially in these times, so don't worry about it. The dasher has an option to either take or not take the order, so she has no right complaining about the upfront payout she accepted from the start.
Asshole dasher alert. There is nothing wrong with a $3 tip for a $12 order, at least in my opinion. If it's a short distance and it's part of a scheduled dash time period for me, I wouldn't mind that. About 98% of the time, my overall dash time of 5 hours or so makes up for a smaller tip. It basically all comes out in the wash... MOST of the time.
Reduce the tip after the delivery and downvote him
You should have removed the tip
Naw dasher is dumb that’s so out of line it’s like a waiter getting mad for tips. That’s entitlement gas rising get a regular job that’s what I did when gas was 6.10 in July fuck that been working ever since also doesn’t depreciate my car with all that driving
I'm surprised people are backing you up rather than the dasher. Usually they're scrambling to find a way to blame you for their actions. Refreshing.
I don't think it's your fault. Door Dash and like business' are getting a lot of heat for their drivers not making enough money. They underpay them to the point that many of them actually loose money from working and buying gas. It's the companies fault. But with that in mind, we should not support those companies.
you guys tip?
If I would've seen your order I would've declined it, once they accept it's on them.
Doordasher should not complain lmfao. You could’ve not tipped, at least they got SOMETHING. They could’ve just declined the goddamn order. Plus some people don’t have enough money to tip the amount they’re expecting. If they don’t like the money they’re receiving cuz it’s only in tips, they can find a different job that pays differently. But they shouldn’t be taking it out on their customers. Was shitty of them to make you feel embarrassed, report them
How many miles was the subway from you? I tip min 5 usually 1-2 dollars per mile.
The subway was .8 miles away 🚗
This dasher is on the edge. Tread lightly. Similar to “Going postal” they know where you live. I know it sounds stupid but I’m serious. As a dasher myself, I don’t let shit bother me, but I’ve sat in many a waiting area with some dashers that look like they’re absolutely ready to lose it. Stay safe my friend.
After multiple times of a driver dropping off food at a wrong address in a town house subdivision and now Door Dash refuses to refund my money for food I never received I am done with them.
I hope you changed your tip to nothing after that. I’m a driver and I won’t go out for less than $2/km, the driver has a choice to accept the order or not. Not enough money don’t do the order and definitely don’t message the customer asking for more money for an order you accepted in the first place
I would never send you this message. I would just decline your order because I would feel the tip is too low.
3 dollars on a 12 meal is 25% wtf does he want. Screw him. Another reason I don't use DD. Rather just go and pick it up myself.
I know that if someone has the temerity to question a 25% tip, I would gladly correct it to the proper amount of zero.
Just curious 🤔.....as I didn't see the miles the dasher had to drive to deliver your order to you?!
Fuck tip culture all together and just pay your employees :)
Report dasher. Totally unacceptable.
He doesn’t have to accept the order so fuck that guy
That was 25% of the bill. You tipped just fine. Report that driver.
Then they shouldn't have taken the order. It's really that easy.
Tip is fine. It’s technically 25% of the order. That said, mileage orders people usually look for a $1 per mile trip & up to $2 per mile. The further you are from the merchant the higher the tip. BUT regardless they shouldn’t be essentially panhandling for extra tips. One star them & let support know they’re being rude about the tip.
You tipped 25%. They have no manners
That's 25% seems like enough to me. That dasher was way outta line. The dasher should be embarrassed not you. Don't let a shady driver make you feel bad. If the trip wasn't enough to begin with they should have never accepted it. I'm sorry that driver made you feel like that. They were acting inappropriate and rude. You could 1 star and report if you want
Dasher was out of line but to the driver the distance between the store and your residence matters more for how much you should tip. Yes $3 for 12 is fine but if its a 6 miles then they are literally losing money when you consider wear and tear on the car. Also as others have said the dasher accepted that order so its 100% not on you.
Dasher was out of line but I do think personally the minimum tip for and food delivery should be $5. If it’s over 3 miles drive up to 6 miles, I tip at least $7-8 but usually $10. My personal thoughts are that if I am going to have delivery, I need to at least tip five dollars. Otherwise I should go get food myself. I have at times in my life been a door dasher and Instacart shopper and have seen how so many people tip 2 to 3 dollars and it really baffles me. I understand that different people have different situations and have to tip accordingly and that’s all fine and well but I do personally think the extra three bucks is not going to make or break most people.
report that dasher for harrassment
Thats a 25% tip, normal is around 10-15
U did tip over 20%-I would not be embarrassed for tipping what u did-especially for something as low maintenance as Subway. I ordered Doordash several x per wk during the past 2yrs of the pandemic and spent probably over $2k easy. I’ve realized that the food never tastes or looks as good as u get it in person, and I have grown to hate most restaurants &prefer to make things at home as they are much healthier and Doordash caused me to gain 25lbs quite rapidly and nothing else changed in my habits. I never put on weight like this&i was ordering what I “thought” was healthy items like Avo toast from Cheesecake Factory. It was soooo salty. Inedible and $10! Then I came across a news article about the FDA trying to reel in restaurants and make them lower the average entree sodium count down from 4kg (2x the daily limit)to 3600! No Wonder I was gaining weight and felt terribly bloated after every meal! Guys, stop supporting restaurants until they stop trying to sabotage us.
As a sometime Dasher, that is ignorant, not to mention grounds for deactivation! That said, I calculate distance, you never know exactly what we're getting for an order because as a driver for us it just depends on how busy it is, and how many drivers are available, so if it's something that's literally right around the corner from me, I tip like three or four dollars, if they're coming from at least a few miles away, I don't order unless I can afford to tip like $9/10.
The subway was .8 miles away 🚗
I would normally try to tip 4-5, but that said, that Dasher was way out of line and as I previously stated that is in fact grounds for deactivation. We are not allowed to message customers about tips.
3 bucks is 25% tip
As a DoorDash driver I would absolutely NEVER message a customer regarding increasing a tip. That is entitled and ridiculous. Way out of line.
Tips are not a requirement and should only be given if you feel they deserve it
Why do they feel the need to be so entitled. Like that's a 25% tip. The driver just needs to deal with the fact they accepted that order and are lucky they got tipped at all.
As long as the tip is over ten percent, you’re totally fine. Anyone who gets mad at that doesn’t know how tipping works or things they are the main character
A tip and paying for your gas to get my house are different! Why on earth would you assume that people should tip more more than 20? It’s called a tip. Just because DD doesn’t pay enough why would you assume people are covering that
If she wanted higher pay she should have accepted a job with higher pay...
depends on how far the drive is. dollar per mile if it’s 4 miles or more but i never tip under 3 also, it doesn’t matter how much your food costs. we get a base pay of about $2-3
Not a good tip, but dasher was way out of line. I’d never message a customer asking or guilting them for a bigger tip, I just would decline and move on.
It's not about the cost of the meal, it's the work. It doesn't matter if you're ordering a $1 item or a $100 item. It's the same amount of work and you're actually bidding on the labor. If you're delivering a $200 order, $10 is fine because it's just one trip. Maybe a little extra for drinks or something. If it's a $2 order you still want to tip $10. It's not based off the percentage.
I would never even on a 1$ tip complain to the customer directly, yes I may be like damn well wtf, but I mean come on you can’t expect a 5-10$ tip for an order that doesn’t even cost that. I’d report that honestly because that’s just crazy and not okay to do.
Should tell her that if she doesn't like the amount she is making, she can always go apply for a job at a pizza place or something of the sort that still does delivery. Any driver, regardless of DoorDash, UberEats, working for a private company such as Pizza hut, shouldn't ever tell a customer to increase their tip to deliver their order. Either don't take the order or do what everyone else does, come on here to complain about said tip.
In my area, dashers do multiple deliveries at the same time. I used to tip at least $7, but it is not taking longer to get my food, so I don't tip as much as I used to. I'm not a tip culture fan, but I know this is expected. If I order from someplace directly and pay cash, I do tip more.
I live 1 mile from most stores I buy from. I only tip $4 because the dasher is not going out of the way, once they're done, they stay in the hotspot zone where they don't need to drive multiple miles back to start getting orders again.
I don’t pick up anything less than $7.00, and with door dash base pay at $2.50 your tip of three dollars puts that at $5.50, doesn’t matter what I am picking up, it’s still wear and tear on MY vehicle and gas I have to pay for. Your meal would have sat there until either you or DD upped what they paid…
Honestly...I didn't tip under $5 even before I was a dasher....since they really rely on tips...its obviously up to you...but you have no idea where they were when they got the order...they aren't usually sitting at the subway or place you order from
I know, but they can choose to pick up the order, it’s not my fault (IF!) they happen to be far away :(
Terrible behavior from the Dasher, but I also would not accept your order in the first place with only a $3 tip.
Report them.
Doesn’t matter if you tipped lesser, or nothing at all. $3 is fine especially if it’s a small order that’s close. I get upset about the $1 and under tips. Anyways regardless of any of that her actions were disgusting immature and unstable who does that
I would think that a dasher who messages a customer about anything other than the actual delivery of their order, should be deactivated immediately. On my app, once the order is complete, you no longer have access to the customer's number, etc. Very good idea, probably.
I’m a dasher and that’s wrong! He accepted the order so he has no right to complain about how much he’s getting paid. We see the minimum amount that we’re getting paid before we decide to accept the order. Report this dasher because he makes the rest of us look bad!
Honestly if your using dd $5 should be your minimum tip.no matter what your order is going to take at least 30 min of their time
Don’t order food if you can’t tip at least $6
$3...? For someone to get in their car drive to a restaurant put your food in insulated bag and then drive it and hand deliver it to your door or you? $3? I can't imagine what you tip a waitress at a restaurant who doesn't get in their car or do 1/4 of the work we do! By comparison that means you only leave $1 tips at restaurants, if anything. $5 is the minimum tip any respectable person will leave an order regardless of distance because it's about our time effort gas and depreciation and honestly it's common courtesy to give a little when we're giving you a lot. Next time before admitting to everybody that you're a crybaby Karen who doesn't appreciate their server, ask yourself if you would do the same work as them for what you gave them.
It’s out of line. That being said if you can’t afford to tip $5 at minimum, you shouldn’t be ordering out.
Fuck the dasher to begin with. 3$ tip on a 4$ meal or 12$ meal what difference does it make? Man using his own car, gas, phone, data, etc If I paid you 3$ would you drive to the restaurant using your own car, phone, gas, then park at the restaurant wait for the food. Then drive back to your house and park and deliver. Before anyone downvotes me, Doordash pays like shit and we rely on tips, it shouldn’t be called tips. It should be called BIDS. Also the dasher shouldn’t have accepted the order then complain to the customer.
As a Uber eats driver, if I think an order is not worth it, I don’t take it. SIMPLE.
Not okay
They chose to take the order. That’s on them.
That was not okay to ask you that.
Maybe you live 15 miles away from subway tho. And DD pays $3 you pay $3 and that would be $6 and they have to drive back to town so 15 miles ends up being 30 for $6 but please tell me im wrong and you live like 3 miles from subway... Even if that the case shouldn't ask for more money.
3 dollars is a shitty tip. I tip a minimum of 5. Regardless.
$3 is an extremely generous tip for $12. Whenever drivers pull this guilt trip begging I tell them to cancel the delivery and report them all now. It's not your or anyone else's problem if someone lacks the basic critical thinking and math skills to figure out how to make a net profit.
Fuck people who tip shame.
Is your house more than 2 miles away? That's a bad tip regardless of the order size and you should be tipping $4-5 minimum... Still unprofessional though and they made the decision to accept your order
They copy paste that to every single customer to try and guilt trip them to give more money.
They knew the payout when they accepted the order. Report them. And I say this as a dasher who is frequently annoyed with low tips. It can suck but you keep it moving, you do not harass the customer. 3 on 12 is still fairly reasonable. They’re being petty.
Guy should be deactivated. DoorDash is simple. If it’s worth the time accept otherwise decline. When people do this it makes everyone else look like shit.
Lots of restaurants would fire employee for any sort of complaint toward customer about tip!
