For those that continually use services like Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash, etc., how does justify using the cost?
With fees and tip added, it’s almost double the cost, the food arrives cold and wait time is longer than you picking it up yourself.
Because I’m under the influence and shouldn’t be driving.
The first step to sobriety is recognizing and admitting that you have a problem.
Hey, I got the joke and I thought it was funny. I’ll give you the one upvote I can give you :)
There is no joke. Please sit down. You know we all love you very much, and these people have gathered because they have a few things they want to say to you:
I’m lazy and I have the money.
Save money with this one simple trick: Don’t Tip
This message was brought to you from britain, where tipping is rare, and definitely not to delivery drivers
Tipping is charity to employees because employers are underpaying
That doesn’t work here in the U.S., as tipping is built into the business model of gig delivery services like DoorDash. The base payment to the delivery driver doesn’t even cover their costs, and it’s the tip that provides the incentive to make a delivery through the app. With no tip, it’s likely that nobody will pick up your order and deliver it.
Then people should stop working for these companies until the business model changes.
A bad business model shouldn’t be supported by customer charity to employees
If every employee in the US who got treated like shit by their employer quit then there would be chaos
Ironically, doordash had “you don’t need to tip, we charge the fee to pay a living wage!” as it’s original way to differentiate itself from you having The Pizza guy deliver.
Back in beta there was no tip option.
I stopped using them when they started to have separate tips for the in house staff and the driver, plus a 20% fee. Turns out your can pick up your own hot food faster for much less money.
It would be wonderful to change tipping culture but they make no money otherwise thanks to laws over here.
Actually, the law states that if your wage + tips doesn’t equal standard minimum wage, your employer must make up the difference. In practice, this is just used to identify and fire underperformers. But if everyone stopped tipping, the company would be forced to pay them full wages and eventually it would just be worked back into the system. Tipping is absolutely not necessary.
Ah but employers do actually pay them right? I’ve done Uber eats previously and if I don’t get tipped I get anywhere between 2-6 dollars for up to 45 minutes of work between getting to the restaurant, grabbing the food, and driving to the user.
Fuck that, they are out in the weather so I don’t have to be.
Now, if you are just handing me a coffee you can fuck right off
Because I don’t want to go outside.
I can’t drive; epilepsy ain’t great for that. Some places I can reliably get the bus there and back in a reasonable time to eat it warm, but other further places are a gamble.
