I am in the service industry. And the price is the price. I don't expect anymore. I don't expect any less. I get tipped all the time. If it's a penny. If it's a dollar. If it's $100. Great, and I appreciate it!! But I didn't expect it, and that is WHAT A TIP IS! But the price is the price, and I am grateful to get that, for I have set it for what I think it was worth. The price I charge, make me happy. Anything else, just make me happier. If at the end of the day, you are not happy with what you have earned. Charge more, and don't expect tips to be your salary.
Well if you earn more than the tipped wage for service workers, then you don't rely on the tips and they are just extra. But at a restaurant or food delivery, the pay is nowhere near a living wage, so yes tips are expected, or the people can just get their own food.
@@audreymuzingo933 erm, no. As a business owner, set prices and whole model to be able to pay your workers appropriately. And do so, instead of screwing them over. The whole point of this rant. Give it a watch, cause you clearly haven't.
@@mars_12345 And you think you're going to change how a business pays their workers by not tipping one worker? No, you're just going to take that poor person's time for nothing, like a selfish piece of trash. Quit trying to justify being a cheapskate by acting like you're shaking up the system! It's going to literally take an act of government to force businesses to pay living wages. Until then, just go get fast food in a bag, and drive your own car there by the way.
@@audreymuzingo933 I am not eating take outs. I am using my feet to go to the grocery store, use self-service checkout, get back, prepare and eat my meal.
And stop trying to insult people. I get it, it's a hard job at its current state, but as it was said in the video, which I highly recommend you actually watch, aim your anger at the employer, not consumer.
@@mars_12345 I watched the video. It's a position as stale as it was in 1991 when I started waiting tables for $2.13 an hour, -and the wage is still $2.13 an hour. I no longer do tipped work; I run my own business, but my body is a lot more broken than it should be at only 50, from years of working in dine-in restaurants and pizza delivery, which by the way you only see a small part of those jobs -there is also tons of cleaning, usually cooking too, carrying huge boxes around, washing dishes, etc. The fact that restaurant owners get away with paying workers so little IS an outrage, and I usually agree with everything this youtuber says, but here he doesn't know what he's talking about. Advocating stiffing tip-dependent workers is fucked up, period. And his other video on this subject is just as bad. Customers are not going to fix this issue by not tipping individual workers, thinking if they just ask their boss for a several-dollars/hour raise they're going to get it. That's absurd. They would literally have to be FORCED by law.
The whole purpose of the tipping model is so that employees get mad at the customer and not their boss. I see it's working like a charm.
That's a great observation. We'll, I guess the customer is the only face they see when at work
its actually so that they can lower the prices of the food making the food look less expensive despite you making up the cost on the tip, the tips usually work in favor of the employee as well, they would rather have tips than a "livable wage" because they'd make less money, they're mad at the customer for not tipping because they're greedy, they have no reason to be mad at their employer.
@@kirche7 yes. Companies have to not pay their workers because of this; competitors will do it and their prices will be lower. And then tipping is a % too, so even the tip is lower.
But tipping is part of law. If you want change, it is not the company’s fault, not customer, not employee.
It’s your politicians.
this is capitalism and it can't be other way.
everybody should read Lenin.
all the rights to repair, everything is about it
that's a pretty accurate description, I wonder how many other areas of life misdirect that anger
If you are required to pay a tip, it isn't a tip, it is a fee.
It's basically just a second food tax at this point.
@@GruppeSechsno more like recouping the cost. Money and thus services/goods are circular. We subsidize so many things as a society that it obfuscates the reality that even the amount we pay is not enough to sustain the system.
The problem is that the tipping model is used as an incentive to make employees go above and beyond at work.
Unfortunately, as a result, when an employee does everything they believe justifies a tip, and they do not receive one, they can become bitter about it.
I believe that tipping should only be used for when you receive exceptional service, which goes above the living wage the employee is already receiving.
It basically is in the case of doordash. You can attach a tip before the order even goes out and you can add one on after the fact. If you don't give a reasonable tip, most dashers will decline it and your food will sit there getting cold and taking forever to arrive.
all i gotta say is “Don’t hate the player, hate the game”.😂
When tipping is mandatory it's a fee.
In the UK the only time I leave a tip is at my discretion at a restaurant. It's usually not as massive as 20% and more like 10% and staff never harass you for it either. I also might tip a delivery driver but its been years since I bothered with delivery food as I hate the gig economy model and what it is doing to people's expectations of what a real job is, where you are employed and have some security. Years ago in Los Angeles I can remember one barman who was really aggressive to a large group of us Brits who had spent a fortune in the bar that night because we didn't leave a massive tip. We were like "WTF?" as you never tip barstaff in the UK or pretty much anywhere else in Europe (because people get paid by their employer - crazy idea I know). When I worked in bars we were told we could NOT accept tips by the manager. Fair enough, we got paid by the bar an didn't accept them. Louis is, as almost always, 100% correct here again as are you - it's NOT a tip, it's a delivery fee. If that's the case just add it to the sodding bill already. Jeez, sometimes I'm so glad I miss out on American freedom.
@@martin-1965 I am a gig economy worker who supports your decision not to support this system.
RE:havenbastion. It is extortion.
@@martin-1965In my country tip was just rounding to get less coins.
@@DarkXairSame... always "keep the change" :)
She hung up on him because she was afraid. The delivery guy is aggressive and looks / sounds dangerous. Why would you want to talk to such people?
If you are a shitty tipper and afraid of people why are you having them come to your home with food they had in their car?
Exactly. Many people order doordash in order to avoid confrontation and minimize interaction. To then have someone banging so hard on the door it scares you then calling and aggressively asking about a tip, obviously you're gonna hang up.
Completely agree. This guy was being crazy. I wouldn't even open the door until he was away
I would be so scared and maybe call for help. People like that are dangerous I was stunned Louis didn't pick up on that.
Nah, hanging up was a bad move. It could have made him even more mad. She was stupid and rude and it could have ended ugly. Just tell the guy "I'm sorry if it's frustrating, but I don't believe in tip culture." Give him SOMETHING instead of just hanging up. She sounds like a loser just as he said. Not that I'm justifying him throwing a tantrum.
Tipping needs to go away. People need to be paid fairly for their work.
100%
Like it is in MANY European coutries. Those that claim tips encourages good service have never been to a European restaurant where tipping is not required.
The problem is that people view your comments as contradictory.
You have no idea what you're talking about. If you were a waiter or a driver you'd understand that would kill them.
@@harshbarj Give me an example of an European restaurant and the wages or salary of wait staff.
"the wool that tipping culture has pulled over everybody's eyes is it causes employees to be mad at the customer rather than to be mad at their boss."
What a damn powerful statement.
its the same for being under payed for a job that demands way too much. I worked at a place that dealt with furniture, appliances, and electronics and i was required to assemble and set up every desktop, and load every couch to customers car by myself for a check that would make a job at McDonald economically viable. because of that i simply hid away from customers since it wasnt worth my time or knew they want me to load a stove in their suv
Tipping is demanding to steal
they did the same for recycling and the environment, the companies make the plastic and profit from it BUT it's our responsibility to clean up, the gov't & corporations destroyed the environment and once again it's because we're driving the cars that all these companies make billions selling. they make the money, we get the heat.
LMFAO!
When you order delivery from DD YOU are the "boss"
YOU are paying the dashers wages
@@thatslegit 100
Even self-checkout machines are asking for tips now, it's absolutely insane.
lol what
You do know that by using the self checkout machine you are now doing work for the store that they would have to pay a cashier to do. So now you go in to buy your items then have to ring it up and bag it up without getting anything in return for doing the work that the store would have had to pay a cashier to do. So do not be expecting Social Security to be around because machines do not pay into it and your doing the work that the store would have had to pay an employee to do.
@@AB-hu4fc that's some weird logic. You are doing nothing more than what you would with a regular cashier - putting items on, putting them in the bag, paying. It's the machine that does the work. And I love these machines.
If you are so fearful you feel pressured to tip by a MACHINE, you need therapy.
@@mks-h It is you that is doing the work/, The machine does not do anything without you waving an item in front of it. That is why you are doing work that the store employee should be doing but since you are willing to do the work for the store why should they bother paying an employee to do it? The machine also places your items into the bag for you too, wait no that is work you did for free. Like I said I will not work for free and will stand in line waiting for a cashier to ring up my items and bag them for me. If you have a Winco shop there they ring your items up but you bag them that way Winco does not have to hire an employee to do that and are able to keep their prices lower than most stores. This make sence to me.
I can't blame the customer for hanging up. If some dude started beating on my door enough to shake the house and was raising his voice on the phone, I'd be terrified.
Fair, but counterpoint: the idea of someone calmly explaining to bootleg Steve Bautista over here that they think the $30 they paid is fair, and that the man about to burst a blood vessel over $3 should go to Doordash and ask for more money, is absolutely magical and hilarious and I am here for it.
Who cares about blame or whos fault it is? You people are eating spit.
@@Potte Yes but keep in mind a lot of people are adverse to confrontations including but not limited to talking to someone on the phone. Now I'm a 6'5 guy so I'd personally have no problem walking out there to explain it to that guy but I can absolutely see why lot of people wouldn't want to deal with him and from what I can understand it was a woman. I wouldn't want my wife talking to that guy either.
If not tipping means your delivery person abuses you or your food it means it's no longer a tip, it's blackmail.
@@DellikkilleD No, you've paid for your food and you've paid for a delivery fee - you've paid for your service you should receive it.
Come to my house with a 'give me money or I'm gonna be a aggressive asshole' attitude you'll be leaving it on your back...
@@deezelfairy Don’t order food if you’re not going to tip, I don’t see why people think somehow not tipping the worker is going to hurt the trash employer. It’s only hurting the worker.
@@deezelfairy If you’re that broke then just go drive/bike/walk/take a bus to Taco Bell.
And no I don’t work in the service industry or do this doordash or uber gig work, so think of a better argument.
Exactly how I feel. That we're not giving tips because of good service but to avoid bad service. Its all extortion.
@@deezelfairy do you want to assault the asshole
I'm from a country without tipping culture so when you actually tip, people feel grateful for it instead of feeling entitled to a tip.
So your country does have a tipping culture, it's just different.
@@The_Gallowglass actually, they sometimes can feel insulted. Had it rejected once by a bartender.

@TheGhostFart This isn't gymnastics. You're in the wrong class. You'll wanna go down the hall to 105B. That's probably why you're confused.
Tipping has evolved from offering funds for exceptional and fast service, if you have the extra to put out... to a mandatory requirement for every transaction in the service industry. Absolutely ridiculous!
This is true. The driver should be paid for quick and reliable service and they customer should never before forced to add is an an express fee on top of delivery.
@@Lynxdocou aren’t. You just have take the evil eye and bare it. That’s the cost of shooting through the hostage to make your point. We the employees didn’t ask for the bum commission model, but it’s what we’ve got to live off of.
@@rhobidderskag1121 Take it out on your boss, he is the asshole exploiting you AND the customer.
If we work together we can stop this idiotic system, but every useful idiot who just throws up their hands, and goes "this is just the way things are," and then gets mad at those exploited instead of the exploiters for not going along with being exploited, is helping the exploitation continue.
I can already hear you starting to call such collective action impossible, but it works in many places. Try to tip outside tourist areas in much of northern Europe for example and you will get told to take your money back by the server him/herself, because they are paid enough, and if they accept tips they undermine themselves and their fellow servers.
Education, community spirit and working together can end this bullshit. Like many other issues in society, the critical first step however is to make people even believe it is possible, and that is where we fail at the moment.
a lot of people fail to realize mostly in the service industry that they actually have no hourly wage. I worked as a server in a restaurant for 6 months and got paid 1.50 an hour as base pay. Your whole paycheck is relying on tips, and the sad reality is that this is how 99% of service jobs are now. After realizing this is how service jobs work, I decided to quit and find something else as soon as possible.
@@chrisgg80 In my country we have a minimum wage which all companies must pay their employees. When you look at a price list of what things cost, a tip is not included in the cost of that item. The fact that employers are making employees reliant on tips to survive should be criminal. We need to start shifting blame from the customers back to the employers for creating this issue in the first place.
Tipping culture now reminds me of the story of some foreigner tipping 8% on a horrible waiter, to be kind despite the service, and after they pointed out that standard tipping percentages in the country were 10%, the foreigner had them clear the tip so they could "fix it". The foreigner cleared the tip and happily put a 0% tip on the check and told them there they go.

Haha, brilliant!
Then there is the opposite situation. I used to wait tables at a high end restaurant in Miami in the early ninties. One day I had a large party that took up my entire section. Very wealthy patrons from Brazil. I busted my ass for hours (yes some people take that long when at a nice restaurant) catering to their every need. The bill was enormous. The meal went off without a hitch. They were happy with the service. They left zero tip. Ruined my night as they left after closing. There was definitely a difference in the tips I received depending on where the diners were from. In my experience Brazilians were the worst. It was a running joke in the restaurant. When Brazilians sat at your table, you didn't expect a tip.
@@overbuiltlimited That sounds awful, but reminds me of someone doing the same by leaving a folded 20-dollar bill under a jar of something. When the waiter would unfold it, it would have an advertisement for a church printed on the other side... honestly would be pissed at that church
@@overbuiltlimited In Brazil tipping someone is actually seen as very rude because it implies the person can't afford to buy stuff. Moreover, there's a service tax in the bill that's 10% of the total (Some are 15% but the most common value is 10%) so it "forces" you to tip anyway
I've stopped using services that expect tipping. That's the most ethical way i can think of to stop tipping people.
In the UK I place orders with Uber eats sometimes, only when they give me 40-50% off, so I get 40% off my food, and buy from places that are close, so they charge like £0.29 for delivery, and then no tip.
So they pay me to use there service, no wonder Uber is losing money
Yeah it’s kinda messed up to be like “walk into the office of an app company in San Francisco & demand a raise, don’t ask me for a tip” & continue to benefit from the evil business model of the app.
@@folkloreuh I mean they're doing it to themselves and getting mad at customers instead of employers because they know they can hold the food hostage. There's no real reason for customers to stop ordering in protest when it's not them it's negatively affecting.
That’s the conclusion I came to too. As well as ignoring absurd tip lines on things that don’t normally have tips.
i mean its not unethical to not tip
I agree to some degree, but I disagree that a customer should be expected to have a discussion about salary with a lunatic beating on their door over a tip.
A doordash employee that bangs on somebody's door and harasses them with 3+ phone calls should be fired. It's not even a discussion.
The customer has nothing to do with your pay check. Your not making enough then get a better job.

@falcon_224 Don't remember the video so I don't remember the context of the comment *shrug* sorry.
EXACTLY. The only way I am willing to support a doordash worker is to just not use the doordash service at all. I do believe they are underpaid ... but that isn't because of the customers. Door dash is literally the one stealing your pay.
I would never do doordash. If I had a choice between doing regular uber and doordash I'd pick uber. At least if you do UBER, even without tips you can make decent money if you're good at it and in a big city market.
Doordash loses money every quarter, the fact of the matter is that the customers are getting a service for less than it costs.
I drive for Lyft part time, like once a week for a few hours. My personal tip rate is like 30% so 3 out of every 10 fares will leave me some sort of tip. I can't demand a tip, it's appreciated for good service but I have to understand that even if there's a rider that feels I've given them the best service they've ever had in a Lyft, if they got in with the mindset that they're not going to tip, well guess what they're not going to tip. If I don't like Lyft because of the tip situation, then guess what, I just won't drive for Lyft anymore and I'll do something else. People have to chill the F out with demanding tips, broski, if you don't like it, leave. Stop doing Doordash. Its a free country, more or less anyway. You can start your own business. If I did that shit and chased down a rider after drop off for not tipping me, #1 that makes me look like a maniac on drugs and #2 I'll probably get a warming or just taken off the platform.
@Just a Cinnamon Bun oh yeah, you never demand tips. That's bad form. I feel since covid lockdowns and after, tipping frequency has gone way down. A good driver can make decent money even without tips, if they're in a good market and have some charisma and skills.
That's the only way Doordash will listen. It's certainly not by workers refusing their crap pay, bc someone in these slum ass cities is always desperate enough to take it. What a shithole country.
This is LITERALLY the reason I don’t use door dash and similar apps.
Youre too cheap to tip?
Agreed. I'm perfectly capable of walking and driving myself. If someone were elderly or sick and needed the extra help: totally understand. But grown-ass adults who are physically capable, should NOT be paying another human being to go fetch their food. Grow up. Fast food. Asian food. Pizza. Don't care. "If you have a car, get off your ass and go get your own damn food."
@@Slayer8957 - yeah, I guess so. Does that make you mad? Oooooh nooooo! :( :( :( Go get a job as a waiter or a barista if you want my tips--that's ALL I tip for, now... Oh and hotel cleaners. And my hairdresser, especially for a good beard trim and shave (love that warm lather). And at holidays for my mail carrier. And my mechanic for giving us a free safety check prior to a long road trip. So there's your options if you want tips. Kbye!!
Domino’s Pizza (as an example) charges a delivery fee that does not go to the driver. In essence you’re helping Domino’s to pay his/her salary + you’re expected to tip on top of that. Basically the CEO of Domino’s is telling you to blow him every time you order delivery from there.

Is that your takeaway here? That tipping culture is broken and unfair at the expense of the CONSUMER?
If you don't have the faintest idea why something undesirable occurred with your order, and you have no IDEA if it was in the control of a tipped worker, you have to assume it was out of their control.
Think about it, none of the reasons you gave are ethical reasons to "withhold" tip in an economy where it is expected.
Things are not all under the control of your server, it's not reasonable to reduce tip to a live server based on something they can't control like when your food is ready...but at least with a server you can SEE them working.
With app-based services there is no justification for this, as there can always be a number of possible setbacks invisible to the customer that can delay a delivery person.
What's "insane" is that these platforms don't just tell customers flat out that tipping is expected.
They are LOWERING their prices such that every once in a while, a driver takes a bad order, they rely on this being seen as "optional" income to squeeze out the sketchiest orders they fulfill.
These companies are not even profitable, it's an incorrect assumption they are raking in money, the industry just hasn't reached competency.
Point is, the idea you should withhold tip based on ANYTHING is insane. It is part of the price of your goods/services and the insane thing is that we have so many industries that leech off the darker implications of it being a choice.
Pre-tipping is one of the few decent things Doordash does and I actually don't understand these "pissed that the customer didnt tip" videos based on Doordash tipping structure. Uber Eats or Grubhub i understand but DD doesn't work that way unless there's some finer details to the system that I'm missing...
If a person reacts that way to having no tip, pacing around my apartment, spam calling me and knocking my door with such strength, I wouldn't feel very compelled to try and reason with them, much less giving my reasoning to give no tip
That, so much that.
If someone bangs on my door like a madman just because I didn't tip, exactly in which universe would me then calmly going "I didn't tip you because I don't agree with the tipping culture here in the US" do anything other than aggravate this lunatic further? By just throwing the food down like a child and then going on a tantrum, he already has proven he has the mental state of a petulant child.
No, if anything I would call the police on the guy.
As a European this is absolutely insane. Tips are supposed to show how much you liked the service you're provided, not a mandatory upping of the final payment for the service. A few days ago, my wife and I bought a 43" TV, and called an Uber to get us home. The driver was nice and helped with the TV, and we were very happy with the ride, so I tipped the guy almost the same amount as the ride actually cost. Now that's what tips are for.
comments like this is exactly why im planning on moving to europe someday, i dont care where in europe, just somewhere, i would even move to like the border between greece and turkey like i seriously dont care where, its just better there
@@DailyCorvid Exactly! Seems Louis is disregarding the aggression a bit. I would not open the door nor answer such a person. Whatever problem that guy is having, the customer should NEVER be the target of anger.
It's actually sort of the same here, despite what you may have heard there is no mandatory tips. The US laws are just overly complicated and everyone in America is an idiot here. Read up on Tip credit, when you hear about an employee "only earning $2.13 an hour" in America that's not the full truth and it's because of tip credit. By law employees are required to earn at least minimum wage Federal law says $7.25 an hour (it can be higher depending on local state laws, but must be at least that). The "tip workers" are actually just minimum wage employees. What happens is if an employee receives a tip they must disclose it to their employer, file taxes on it, and their employer can dock their pay for that hour based on how much they got in tips in a 1 to 1 ratio (I'm only aware of California voting in a local state law to ban that practice, but other states may have). If an employee gets a $1 tip in an hour the employer is allowed to only pay them $6.25 for that hour. Because the combined total is still $7.25 the formula is roughly (at least minimum wage = salary + tip) kind of like the equation to plot a circle is (1 = x^2 + y^2), the salary has an absolute minimum of $2.13 an hour. Even if an employee earns more then $5.12 an hour in tips their employer must still pay them $2.13 for each of those hours and only then do these minimum wage employees some times earn more then minimum wage. This can be hard unless people sneak them cash tips and they don't disclose or file taxes on it (technically this is illegal, but people do it anyways. If you actually want to help a "tip workers" next time you visit the US that's the best way). Though you are completely free to not tip them, as if you don't the employer just end up footing the remainder of the bill for their wages as it should be. The other thing to remember is often these are just minimum wage jobs for people just entering the work force (high-schoolers and young college students, who honestly don't need a lot of money because they are still living at home). They aren't long term careers for adults, but many imagine they can earn enough tips to get ahead of minimum wage instead of just find a real career. Honestly a tad unrealistic, which is why states like California keep having to raise the minimum wage. Which just drives up inflation for everyone leaving the minimum waged employees in the same spot as before, but no one else is getting a pay increase making it worse for everyone else.
Tipping is part of the wage of the food/direct service industry worker.
They get paid less, simply because tipping is expected to fill the void between barely managing, and living semi comfortably.
It's disgusting it's gotten to the point that employees RELY on tips to survive, but, oh well...
@@raspiankiado the point is that the employer should care enough about his employees to pay a reasonable wage. Tipping should be considered extras, a bonus for good performance. Base salary should never depend on the generosity of a customer.
I avoid door-dash, take-out, delivery groceries or anything else where a tip is expected just to avoid the awkwardness/guilt of tip culture.

@@TomikaKelly Just so you know the person who is delivering your order is only seeing $2.25 upto $5.50 for their basepay so that is why most are expecting a tip.

I was in California on a holiday and a similar thing happened in a restaurant where someone didn't want to tip and the waiters and waitresses ganged up on the guy. No matter what the circumstance is, it's unprofessional and bad conduct to make a scene like that.

@@MrCarloss510 is there a comment that was deleted because he made a dbl negative and was just saying that in Cali they do get above minimum wage?
Here's one for you.
A couple days ago I visited an electronic store here in the Philippines to purchase an external HDD for my laptop. The employees were very polite and served me well. Mounted in front of the cashier's area was a plastic tip box, the type with a small slot on the top. I asked the employees who receives the tips. They informed me that the owner does. I told them I would have left a tip if the money were for them. I attempted to hand them a few PHPs and they declined, telling me there is CCTV and they would be fired if they accepted any tips. I then thanked them and walked out the door.
I hope you left a scathing review for the owner of that business. Hell, you should put the business' name here
I forgot to mention that the owner is Chinese.
I heard years ago that Chinese own everything in the Philippines.
@@MethodiousMind Pure Chinese from mainland China don't but some do own a decent amount of assets. But in reality there are a lot of rich Filipino-Chinese instead. Like they're ethnically mixed, not just by nationality. And most of them don't really like main land china from what I remember.
@@Martin-yh7vi The Republic of China is clearly not sending their best.
Imagine asking for a tip after such attitude, after SWAT-style door-banging.
It wasn't about the money, it was about letting them know they're enjoying their luxury service that they didn't deserve because they're poor and cheap. We have very poor, low virtue people getting food brought to their doors by butlers at this point in history. There's a global network of slavery and parasitism that makes that all happen, and we call that technology.
These delivery companies are complete scams and have no f'ing right to operate. Obviously the root problem is government allowing parasites to do business, then these unscrupulous, lying company execs, and much lower than that it's the cheap customer who's borderline stealing from the employee. This worker was undoubtedly wrong in some way, but he's by far the least of all bad actors in this situation. I just can't comprehend the moral mindset of the person who knowingly stiffs a worker, then when the worker inevitably gets mad about it, make sure the whole country sees it and he gets fired. He was bringing people food to pay this week's bills in exchange for auto value. Your car is trashed doing this, and you're literally losing money all the time, regardless if everyone tips decently. It's a criminal business.
In Japan, there is no tipping system anywhere and the servers are still extremely polite and accommodating. It's paradise for customers.
I think it's not just the business structures, but a less selfish culture.
Isn't it more of an insult if you offer a tip in JP?
@@leeweesquee They won't take offense. Most will just find it odd and just return it to you.

@@tissuepaper9962 That's the responsibility of the employer.. If I use a service that shows a cost, I pay the cost. If people keep signing up for jobs at those companies just to get pissed they aren't getting paid, then they shouldn't sign up - and when nobody signs up, the company CEO will quickly realize their business model is wank and either make appropriate changes or go out of business.
There is only one way this situation improves, and it starts with not paying for what isn't asked of you.
He had no right to be angry regardless of how he knocked on the door. A tip is not required and he should expect some customers not to leave tips.
You hit the nail on the head. Employers are using tips as an excuse for shitty wages. So now, employees NEED those tips, just to make ends meet. I experienced this briefly, when I tried driving for Uber. I did the math, and if you didn't get X amount of tips in a day, you were making less than minimum wage. IMO that should be illegal, but Uber gets away with it. I gave Uber the middle finger, and will never do business with them again.
That said, I never took it out on the customers. It's not their fault that Uber is exploitative. But whenever I got a chance, I would tell them how exploitative Uber really is. For some of them, it was a revelation.
Uber is exploitative in other countries too. They come here and try to enforce their disgusting policies of tipping in a country where we have ZERO tipping culture. We feel like we have been colonized actually. And this is food delivery actually. The food prices are already 15-20% more expensive while the restaurant doesn’t get paid nor the driver. I really hate Uber, I now directly order from restaurants.
No issues changing the tipping culture, but when they start paying what they should, expect menu prices to go up and even more than 20%.
Not only do workers NEED the tips to survive, they're actually TAXED on their tips. When taxes started getting levied on workers, they were no longer "optional." Going out to eat means you're paying a tip. If you cannot afford the tip, then you cannot afford to eat out. Pretty simple.
Aaaand they still use uber
Don't know for uber, as IIRC they pull some bullshit with independent contractors vs employees, but for a normal business it _is_ illegal. The tipped wage assumes tips, and if your tips don't make up the difference between tipped wage and minimum wage the employer is required to make up the difference. That being said, they're likely not going to, and if they have to you'll likely be fired.
I live in Europe, tipping here is done when you receive service above expectation. A tip is definitly NOT something you give every time.
That just makes more sense. I'd be for it being adopted.
@@Aeroxima It's how it should be, and how it was in the US too before the "tipping culture" reform. Like you would tip your hat, tipping money, it's a gesture of acknowledgement of who they are and what they provide (beyond what is expected). In my country in the EU there is no tipping custom, but it's fairly common to tip 10% for a good service as a genuine gesture, and some tip more for excellent services. Some don't tip. But nobody ever asks questions of what the customer decides, because inherently it's the customer's business what they do beyond what is asked from the price they're offered by the establishment. And service workers get paid a good wage regardless. There is still an incentive to go above and beyond because some people do still tip a fair amount, but it's never expected nor required to have a good living.
That’s the only time someone should tip.
But what you don't mention is that the service in Europe compared to the United States absolutely sucks they are very inattentive and ask as if you are annoying them and they don't come to your table they ignore you it can take over an hour to get their attention to bring you the bill I prefer the United States service because the server knows that if they provide me with good service they will get rewarded for it where is in Europe they treat me like garbage because either way they will be getting the same paycheck 14:57
@@MrPickledede That is literal asspull. I've been to almost every single country in Europe (and there are differences from country to country, believe it or not **ghasp** ), and I have family in the US and been there plenty of times, have many friends there, not exactly foreign country.
Yes there are differences, but to say service as an all encompassing concept is better in the US is laughable. Its not better or worse, it tends to depend on the establishment in question. What you do see more of, is talkative service employees who may put on an extra smile here and there, but that's about it. Sometimes it comes off as hovering and obnoxiousness where they just won't let you enjoy your meal in peace cus they gotta earn that service tip... but that, too, is not the norm. Its just experiences that stand out from the norm, just like what I'm sure your experience in Europe is (if you have any, and aren't just citing whatever internet echo chambers tell you).
But please, if you want to be taken seriously then present an argument and valid evidence for your reasoning. I presented mine, and my bias is neutral.
When I worked for Instacart I caught them stealing our tips because a regular customer was suspicious the company wasn’t giving us our tips. He was right and confirmed what I expected. App based jobs don’t have any worker’s rights, your a number to them.

@@Ariccio123 There was a class action suit against them.
The problem is Door Dash (and other delivery services) charges a delivery fee and service fee already. Then the driver expects a tip on top of that. In my opinion, the driver should get the delivery fee. This would end all of the craziness.
Can you really see them ever giving the driver that money? I can't....
The service fee added is the corporation skimming off the top. They want the customer to think that is the actual tip but it is NOT! The employee never gets that money.
Especially since food is usually costing more via delivery than even picking up with a restaurant app or in person.
@Gormen Freeman Right and it just seems to me many don't bother running calculations to see how cost work. I don't do delivery but I already knew they can't make much if people online who offer delivery are constantly uploading videos....

If a restaurant pays you $2 an hour, he's a restaurant owner.
You tip the waiter, but not the UPS delivery driver. You tip doordash, but not the postman. You tip a valet driver, but not the person who moves all the shopping carts out of the way of the parking lot in the grocery store.

Perhaps I'm salty because most of the jobs here are jobs that are outside tipping culture. My lowest base salary for entry level position here is $25/hour. I can't do the whole _"you get $2/hr and the customer will give you the rest, work it out with them"_ bullshit
Not a tippable service? Then why don't you go pick it up yourself then? This is the same argument that millenials use "omg why is this place open on the Christmas you guys deserve a break".

@@rossmanngroup Restaurants do not pay low wages to servers. I was a waitress in the 70's and worked in a small chain restaurant.

Poor servers made less, good servers made more.

I was really pissed of at two installation technicians many years ago. We had a client that won a multi-million dollar lottery prize. They hired our company to install a high end security system in their home. The clients bought pizza and pop for the technicians during the three day installation process. What drove me crazy was that both installallers thought that it was in poor taste that the clients didn't tip them. They decided among themselves that, just because my clients had a windfall, that they should tip my guys generously. BTW, we're also a union shop. My guys were getting union rates at approximately $28.00/ hr + all benefits (25 years ago). My guys also have never received tips from any other clients, ever, yet they expected a tip from this company, ONLY BECAUSE THE CLIENT HAD MONEY.

Alot of people in tipping culture say if you dont like it then dont use it.
Also, alot of places that using tipping are going out of business.
trust me this is not the same scenario. not even close. DD basepay for an order starts at 2 dollars. not accounting for how long you're gonna wait at a restaurant, or how far you have to drive. 2 or 3 dollars for on average 20 minutes of your time is not reasonable pay.
As a doordash worker who hands people their food, personally for me it's not about the tips, rather it's about "how many miles is it?". In return I choose the orders due to miles and in return I get what I get from doordash and if you tip thank you I appreciate it and if you don't still thank you for not being a hassle. Everything just flows as it is. 😊
That's fair and I agree, as you should. Most people beef is with the tipping culture
Miles don’t necessarily matter as much as where you are going. There can be a 2 mile drive in the middle of downtown that takes longer than a smooth 5 mile drive on an open road
Legit just commented the same thing ... choose a minimum base your willing to accept and Base your deliveries on that.
That's how every customer should be. Like you. Keep doing good.
you shouldn't be working at doordash if you choose orders by any means. This is why most of us get subjected to horrid treatment and congealed food from these exploited workers who take their frustrations out on the customers. Doordash is garbage and I will never use them.

For example, when the delivery services first came out I started using them but had several drivers tell me in no uncertain terms that 20% was woefully inadequate and I wouldn't be getting many deliveries if I was so stingy. Okay, message received, and now I simply hop in my car and go pick it up myself. Not only do I get the food faster but it is actually still hot.

Exactly. You think if she calmly explained why she doesn't want to tip that he would respond rationally? Nah, he'd probably scream at her, smash up the food, then leave.
You cheapskates will say anything to defend being selfish sniveling fuckups. Look at you making excuses for your pathetic behavior. If you can't afford a tip then you don't need to buy the service, stupid.
@@TheStormyClouds She doesn't have a good excuse and neither do you, cheapskate.
In this specific situation, I think any sort of negotiation or explaining the zero dollar tip went away when the delivery guy pounded the door angrily and didn't leave. A big adult man is at the door to your home pounding angrily, that's a self-defense situation especially if you're a woman who lives alone etc. no matter why it's happening. Hanging up the phone makes sense for the same reason as not opening the door. Interacting directly or over the phone (since they know you're at the other side of the door) makes them more likely to engage and try to intimidate you or harass you into doing what they want, if they don't resort to overt violence. With the door closed and you not engaging over the phone the worst that could happen is that the food gets ruined, and you can get refunded for that.
100% agreed. In fact I'd say instant hang up is the BEST course of action.
"Not my problem, talk to your boss" -> guy gets angrier
"Sucks bro, hope things get better, have a nice day!" -> guy gets angrier
"Things are tight sorry, here's $2" -> guy gets angrier
"I'm so sorry, here's $10" -> guy now has incentive to get angrier
Agreed. I'm not gonna give any kind of explanation to a person with that attitude. I'd be intimidated. Try to reason and explain the situation? I'm afraid he could kick my door down and beat me up.
When tips are seeing as an entitlement, not a reward, and are expected before the service is rendered, something has gone horribly, horribly wrong with the system.
All good points. Was recently asked to tip 30% on a carryout order. Since that's where the culture is going, I've stopped using doordash, ubereats, and eating out nearly as much.
If you notice restaurants are now asking 18-20% in tips.
I've also stopped using delivery services because I understand their frustration and that they are trying to make ends meet. I understand this is what they can do to earn themselves money and ANYTHING extra would help them more. But I also REFUSE to let someone make me feel bad about not tipping "enough".
I'm more likely to tip big in the winter, especially around big shopping holidays, and in the summer when it's really hot. Otherwise, I'm probably not gonna 🤷🏾♀️
There's been cases where the self checkout at supermarkets asks you to leave a tip. It's getting ridiculous.
100% agree. I had my ISP send a technician last week to replace a faulty router and I asked him if he could move the fibre optic cable to a different place. Normally this would have cost €70. He said it was no trouble and offered to do it for free. I gave him €30 cash which worked for both of us-I saved €40 and he made €30.
Fun story: I was in Savannah, GA (work trip) and a buddy of mine couldn't pay his bar tab, because his credit card was flagged for sus purchases, which he resolved in about 30 minutes. I paid his tab, and the bartender asked me why I didn't tip. I explained that I was just paying what my buddy owed until he could square away his card, that he would be back in a few, and added in that I wasnt planning on paying my friends $120 tab. Guess what? I was berrated and treated like a total piece of shit, even after I explained that I tipped $15 on my own $45 tab. I was asked (word for word) "Sooo, what's an extra $15-20 then?" "You can't tip for your friend too?" "Don't you see how fucked up what you're doing is?!" Needless to say some choice words were had by all, but the tipping culture in America is absolutely out of hand, and needs to go away. The best part about this is our work trip lasted 3 months, and I was the project lead, so I just told everyone (34 of us) to avoid that place in the future, and they lost out on our alcoholic purchases for those 3 months. They showed us though, right? 😂
They know nothing about what they missed. In America there are so many people, the next new customer is coming to who doesn’t know anything bad about this bar.
@@TheBooban I mostly agree, but people know plenty bad about the bar. Lots of us left bad reviews about the tipping incident.
You should have taken your entire team there once more and not tipped a dime.

If delivery services aren’t paying their employees or contractors adequately, that hardly occurs to the average consumer. Many people assume tips are always extra, and don’t realize that, for example, tipped staff are not eligible for minimum wage.
@@TheFamousMockingbird sounds like you need your company to pay you more.
@@JohannOldman bullshit
They are eligible for it. They just only get that lower rate until your tips don't meet the difference between it and minimum wage
It isn’t really a tip… doordash calls it that, but ultimately it’s how much you are willing to bid for be to bring your food to you.
I’m not a doordash employee - I’m a contractor that contracts with doordash to deliver food on their behalf.
Doordash is a middle-man providing the ordering app to you, not a delivery company.
When ordering doordash, just keep this in mind.
As a Doordash driver, I think it’s hilarious that he got so mad. When you are offered a job, you can clearly see the amount you’ll get paid. Since these drivers are contractors, they are allowed to decline any delivery for any reason. So if it doesn’t pay well, then don’t take the job. Easy.
And it's understood that the tip is not guaranteed
Might be a new driver and, in instructions, might of said cash tip but who knows.
That is why I get paid by the hour
Not every delivery driver is in the position to be able to refuse work.
Well if you are really a DD driver you would know that DD does not show the whole amount and in many cases DD will manipulate the drivers to get them to take low paying orders,
DD drivers get paid $2.00 per order plus what ever the tips are. DD drivers destroy their car and pay for the gas, cell phone, insurance and maintenance for their car.
Anyone comparing a DD driver to a waitress is and idiot. The waitress gets minimum wage plus tips and literally walks five feet from the kitchen to your table. A DD driver drives a lot of miles and uses a ton of gas to deliver peoples food...
If you are to lazy to get your own food then you have a choice to use a luxury service. NO tip No Trip pick up your own dam food...
Door dash drivers are not employees they are independent contractors. There is no office to walk into, there is no salary. The problem is the driver accepting the trash offer in the first place
This is why im appreciative of Australia

I believe in fair pay for fair work. Though I have my own experience with tipping in Australia
Eagle Boys Pizza only paid me $10 an hour as a delivery driver and I had to use my OWN vehicle, pay for my own fuel, vehicle maintenance. All that out of $10 an hour.
Only way I left at the end of a day with profit, was when my customers would let me "Keep the change".
$2 from a few orders helped me cover fuel cost for a night of deliveries, most of the time. Yet there were days when I couldn't work because I had no fuel and no money.
Turned out in the end that there was a company delivery car, but the boss/owner of the franchise, used it as his personal vehicle, until i saw some paperwork on a desk that said it was registered as a company delivery vehicle.
After that, I was offered the car to use for deliveries, but I wouldn't be allowed to "Keep the change" from the orders I delivered and it was only a small madza coup and couldn't fit more than 6 pizza boxes in heat bags. So it actually meant more traveling back and forth to do orders. Compared to my old car which had HEAPS of space and meant I could make a batch of deliveries in a single trip out of the store.
$10 an hour for that was hard to justify and more so when you loose money while trying to make an income.
Then again, the boss/owner was a dishonorably discharged Cop, so make of that what you will.
@@Brausmith I'd be in favour of a law requiring that if the customer pays more than the bill, the surplus must be donated to charity. Also require that the specific charity be decided by a majority vote of the employees.
Thank you. The whole concept of expected tipping needs to be abolished. It's an excuse to pay unfairly low wages. But this is exactly right, if you're not getting paid enough get mad at your company, or get a different job. Make them struggle to find employees.
IS it fair that I have to pay extra for my food, when you can't deliver a good service? Cuz that's what will happen when wages go up, the costumer will have to pay tips through the bill, and the service won't increase the slightest. "unfairly low wages" is a stupid concept.
@@AcolyteofRlyeh yes. it is fair that you pay a fair price. if you are too poor to order it, go buy it yourself like the rest of us.

The rest of the world calls it a "service charge". A good service should be a minimum bar to uphold for any service job. That's kinda the entire point. And it's pretty easy to make the argument that the reason why service workers are not good at their job is because their salary isn't giving them a reason to uphold this reasonable minimum found in the rest of the world.
@@Goodmanperson55 Denmark got some of the highest wages in the world, but the service is shit.
I really hate tips and tipping culture. It feels more like another form of taxation that I have to pay for on top of the sales tax. This video just highlighted the exact reason why.
Well unlike in America in Russia you don't "tip".. its called bribery there at least honestly in these rare moments of who talking truthfully.
Tip based on factors such as distance, & weather for delivery. Granted some ppl say tip based on % but that’s not always fair for the customer.
The problem is this guy is at the customer's house and he is a pretty big guy knocking on the door aggressively, and when he called the customer, I am sure the customer did not want to deal with confrontation. It should not be the job of the customer to explain themself either of why they tipped or not. When I go and buy something I just want the thing I bought and not have to explain myself either. Also some people do not deal with confrontations very well.
Both of them are shitty people
While in the USA, I went to a Japanese restaurant once. I got very lousy service by a very distracted waitress who did a very good job of neglecting our table, despite the restaurant not being very busy at that time. When we were done, we got up and we left without leaving a tip. The waitress followed us outside, demanded a tip and when I refused, she angrily asked why. These are the kind of situations that tipping creates. I have no need for that.
In the USA, even for horribe service, you should minimum still tip 15%.
@@SquareTableDegenerates If you get horrible service from the person who you tip (the waiter) you shouldnt have to tip anything. Now that is only if THEY provide horrible service.

Everything you said about value exchange and the employer is 100% spot on.
I don't think the person who hung up is at fault at all though.

On that, I could not disagree with you more, but I do see the point you're trying to make.
I'd be afraid of the delivery guy if he was banging on my door too. I'm aware of the tipping culture in America and it does exist from where I live too just not to this extent. But I always thought that tipping was not mandatory like this. At least it feels like a societal level, everyone is forced to tip which defeats the point of what tipping is.
I agree. Not everyone who does door dash or w/e is a nice and friendly person. If they called me and banged on my door I'd be scared and worried they were aggressive and I would be ready to call PD.

Louis, there's a tall, strong, very angry man punching on your door and harassing you through the phone. There's absolutely no way I'm opening the door or explaining anything on the call. It's dangerous for a man, it's even more dangerous for a woman or a teenager. And that's on top of the fact that he's not owed an explanation and the explanation itself will be just a way to escalate the situation.
Agreed F that i think even explaining "Look it came out to be $30 for this food which was way above my budget sorry" would have just sent him into potentially bashing downing the door this dude did't look stable.
Yeah that was a terrible take from Louis. This isn't an exploited worker. This is a huge angry guy that's got used to bullying people into getting what he wants. He deserves no explanation, no tip and no more job.

Statistically it's more dangerous for a man, but I agree with you
I appreciate your perspective on this issue. As someone who has worked as a dasher, I can confirm that tips did indeed go 100% to the dasher. However, it's important to note that these tips were factored into the base pay. For instance, if Doordash was supposed to pay $13 for a delivery and the customer tipped $5, Doordash would only pay $8 out of pocket. In essence, the tip was used to subsidize the base pay.
They shouldn't be able to find employees with pay like that.
Seriously? So if you tip $6 vs $1, the driver is going to make the same no matter what?
@@dabz___ when I worked the job when it was less saturated that was the case. Who knows what the model is now in a very saturated market. Cash tips were the only authentic method. Some customers new intuitively this may have been the case and they were right. I’m saying as someone that did around 3 thousand deliveries.
That’s different from how it it now, distance and restaurant differ for base pay which is almost always 2.50-5 bucks then the tip get added on.
On another note that driver when he accepted the job knew what his pay would be with tip. The only reason his anger would be justified was if the customer promised a cash tip.
Dude I so agree with you. When I get delivery from doordash or whatever I give them $5-6 and I often feel like they weren’t even worth that much, they barely speak while handing me my order. However there’s this one Chinese restaurant near me that STILL offers free delivery and I always give that guy $10 cash because he is so kind and courteous, and he is incredibly grateful every time.

Does the Amazon driver stand at your door and wait to hand you a package?? No, then why do you want the doordash driver to do that? I have over 20k deliveries all over the country. I do around 20 orders per day and I only have maybe 2 orders per week where the customer wants me to hand them the food. 99.9 percent of customers want the order left at the door. Expecting the driver to wait for you to come to the door and hand you the food is weird. The customer is being weird not the driver
Ask humbly for a tip. Never demand a tip like the customer owes you. It doesn' t matter how much he pays, take it and leave. This has to be the norm.
Tipping should 100% be the exception not the norm. Someone deserves a tip for doing an exceptional job and a tip shouldn't subsidize someone's wages but instead should only be added on top of a normal wage.
I think tipping can essentially serve as a customer review/survey but with more weight and less information.
Also, you are not subsidizing their wage. You would end up paying the same amount of money and the money would go to the same place as before. The only thing that would change is how the bill is presented to you.
There should be no tip for delivery because there is little a delivery can add to enhance the service. You just bring a thing intact to a place.

@@alan5506 Nope you're a moron if you think that. menu prices are just expensive as everywhere else. the extra money that the employer doesn't pay the staff goes to his pocket. that's it.

how is it moral to employ someone to let them stay at the mercy of customers for a wage when the customers aren't even required to?
Don't think of it as a tip but as a bid. You are bidding for your driver. I have my own parameters that I go by to decide whether or not I pick an order or decline it. After over 1300 deliveries, I can tell you without a doubt that a cash tip is less than 1% likely regardless of the situation. Because of this, I cannot take the risk as the odds are stacked against me and I would be a moron to accept it. I deliver all of my orders with the same respect and customer service, regardless of tip. Tip baiting is somewhat of an issue. Its where someone can reel you in with a good tip, then remove it after the delivery. This is something that Uber Eats has to deal with as they allow customers to increase/decrease the tip after the order for up to an hour. If the trip is short mileage, we only get a $2 base pay. If its around 6-10 miles it will go up to around $4-5 base pay, sometimes. It really depends on how many drivers decline the order that determines the base pay overall. Again, think of it more as bidding for your driver. If you don't tip or don't tip a reasonable amount, your food is going to take longer in many cases because no one will want to take the risk. Both the customer and the contracted driver get screwed in the end because corporate greed doesn't care as long as they get theirs.
He's seriously expecting a cash tip after he dropped the food on the floor like that?! That guy came to just fight and get his anger issues on somebody else.
Unless he's overvaluing simple legwork.

@@anthonyrusso6696 Literally extortion. They even admit it's extortion straight up. "Be a shame if you didn't tip and your food took forever to get to you, all cold and stale..."
As a Doordash driver, I'm very confused how this even happened. Maybe the system was different six months ago, but we get to choose whether we accept an order or not and get openly told how much money we will make on the order, alongside the route and distance travelled. Where in this equation was he caught off guard that a customer wouldn't tip? He could have easily declined the order, or if he felt petty he can accept the order then unassign because of a "long wait time" and say the food won't be ready for 20+ minutes to greatly inconvenience a non-tipper (a new person won't be assigned until doordash thinks the food is done). Why accept the order seeing the price, drive to the store, pick it up and drive to the customer all while the "Current offer: $2.50" sits in the top right of the app, just to complain upon arrival?
If I'm not wrong something has changed in the last month or so about the tipping policy with SOME food delivery companies. Maybe making it so that it's not visible to the drivers. Don't quote me. Better look it up.

I agree with that. It is pretty much insult. You are supposed be paid good enough for your job and not to be dependent on the good will of the ordering person. By tipping you are almost saying that person you tip to is not paid enough and needs your tip.
I learned that's because it would make an argument that they provide great service to get a good tip, but they're expected to provide great service in any circumstance. And I went to Japan, and man, the service is top-notch everywhere.
The only time I didn't have great service in a 3 weeks period, was because of a racist restaurant owner, which didn't expect anything but Japanese customers. And one of the customers took the order for us instead of the owner, who was trying to make us feel uncomfortable.

these delivery platforms have no hourly wage it pays a set amount to drive up to 10 minutes to get to a random restaurant to then drive to customer and price is set based on customer to restaurant and its usually a couple dollars max that a driver could expect. these platforms are very preditory and drivers can expect to cover gas with the money they get and not much else.
As a customer, I am under no obligation to explain my reasoning for not tipping. Period. And I used to wait tables, so I also understand the frustration. But still. I don’t owe anyone an explanation.

@@3nertia it's not the customers job to pay the workers who don't get a decent wage, the transaction is between the customer and the employer, it's the employers job to pay their staff. The entitlement comes from workers thinking they automatically *deserve* a tip
When I visited America for a week, eating out should have been a fun highlight of the trip, but pretty soon I began to resent every time I started to get hungry and wondering how I could get around not being guilted into tipping, or getting it wrong and pissing somebody off, or looking at prices on the menu and having to calculate what the 'real' price was. So we ended up buying food at supermarkets and eating at the hotel, it was much simpler and less stressful (and cheaper), and we still got to try a whole lot of different products that we'd never seen.
Go to the fast foods next time :D. In their sick tipping culture it is for some reason not required to tip in McDonalds etc., but in other place it is required, even though they are just handing you food.
@@Sig509 there is better food that McD.
Your ancestors stormed beaches and fought Nazis for you their descendant to have anxiety attacks over tipping smh
@@Sig509 If I'm going to another country, I ain't going there to eat McD tho.

A tip should never form the foundation of anyones wages-
It should ALWAYS be an additional recognition that youve done a particulary good job
Is that your cultural opinion?
@@LongDefiant no that's global common sense. The mandatory tip is YOUR cultural opinion.

@@LongDefiant A tip is Gratitution, a well earned money customarily given when you did an outstanding performance. Not a mandatory wage.
In Romania they had a MANDATORY 25% or so tip. In Bulgaria we tip to thank the restaurant for providing us with a good service, better than expected, whatever.
I was mad at this when I discovered it because yet again we are setting the status quo that not the business owner but the customers should pay the salaries... just so the business owner can afford that brand new lamborghini they very much needed instead of paying their employees better.
That’s why I won’t use food delivery services. People will spit in or mess with your food if they decide your tip isn’t sufficient or are having a bad day.
If they do that I think they should be kicked in the face
That's one of the reason they seal the delivery bags now. Worse they could do do is shake the food around, in which case you'll report it to the company and you won't be charged.
That's all in your head. I'm a Doordasher. We can see your tip before we take the order. If we don't think it's enough, we won't take it. If this guy didn't opt out of cash on delivery. It's his fault. It's probably just a newbie that doesn't know how to work the app. You cannot abuse the customer. You will be deactivated. Fired. Lol.
If you want someone to take your order it's best practice to tip two dollars per mile from the restraunt to where your house is.
There's no way the food that shows up isn't absolute garbage even on the best of days, giving where it's come from and then the logistics of an external delivery service? And paying a 100% or more markup for that privilege? All so some "employee" can hate my guts while he's at it?
Golly gee, sign me up!
Anyone who does order from these places is a real piece of work.
@Psychotic Gamer wow a gamer with a stupid opinion how unique 😂
I always hated the sentiment of "The employee is underpaid, so they need a tip from you and you are expected to tip them". Because it puts the burden on me. I just want to pay foor a service, i don't want to guess how much money is appropriate to add to the bill so the employee that delivered the service actually can eat at the end of the month.
Unfortunately that's the sentiment of numerous comments here, scolding people that they should not get delivery if they're not going to tip. This is turning me into a co-employer where it's expected that i cover part of the employee's salary even though i'm not allowed to collect their social security number like my co-employer does
I'm so glad we don't have that sort of mentality here in Australia.
except there is one problem with that. That s a lie servers came up with to guilt trip people who don't know any better. Most people don't know that those "underpaid" people will NEVER make less than a full time workers minimum wage. BY LAW. And if they are a part time worker they will make the equivalent of full pay for a part time worker. when an employees tips don't make their pay over the equivalent, employers are REQUIRED BY LAW to make up the difference. Ive been in hospitality for over 20 years and you will NEVER catch me tipping someone even when their service is bad and they will NOT be gettin 20% for doing something simple as bring some plates of food, filling a drink, and writing down an order. Especially when I know first hand their job is not difficult in the slightest having done it for years myself. And knowing there are at no point ever going to not make their full pay. Servers on average make about 46$ a year. And we all know they don't claim the majority of their cash tips. Unless we are going to start tipping mcdonalds workers, etc and other industry people who make less than them its a moot point. There's nothing to feel guilted about at all.
We shouldn’t be paying companies wages!!!!!
??? Where do you think the company gets the money to pay their employees?
@@TheEvilCommenter From the consumer, But we should not be the one directly paying out of our pocket!!! Critical thinking…….
The customer is the income source all businesses use to pay their employees. Lol.
Gig employees, rather contractors as they are self employed, do not have to accept offers that have no tip already included. There couldn't be a more voluntary type of work on a job by job basis than being a gig employee. You always know the base pay of the job you are doing. Don't take the job if it's not worth what you are guaranteed. It's that simple. I say this as someone who does a lot of gig work. If you do this kind of work and approach it like a server at a restaurant you are going to be sorely disappointed time after time.
@@TheEvilCommenter must be a Keynesian 🤣
Consumers are ALWAYS paying employee salaries out of their pocket!
I think what he is saying is that you Should not have to pay the employee's wages after paying the advertised price for a good or service. This makes sense. It was just not phrased as well as it could've been.
You are correct, that a boss is simply a middleman between the customer and the employees and infrastructure you are making use of. However, when you pay the advertised $100 for a good or service, and the employee is mad because they have not been tipped, it feels like the middle man in that instance is running off with the money and not giving it to the people that he is supposed to be giving it to.
When you pay for a service at Rossman repair group, I am paying my employees out of the money that you paid me. If you pay $200 for a repair service, that money is going towards the employee salaries, insurance, taxes, infrastructure, tools, training, education, and supplies that we use to do our job. For me to pocket that money and not actually give it to the employee unless you pay an additional amount on top of the advertised price for the good or service is screwed up. Yes, I pocket some money to compensate myself for the value I have created in making this entire thing possible in building it from day one, but I don't pocket all of it and leave them with nothing but $2 an hour!
I like how they are so indoctrinated in the "culture" that the boss can pay them less and they get angry at person paying THEIR BOSS who then pays them low wage and expect the customer to pay them again despite them already having paid for what they ordered
Ouch, this country is so weird
The customer might have hung up because they were afraid of the large man banging on their door.
I will give this guy ONE thing: He did not STEAL, or DESTROY the food in retaliation.
You know what though? It’s really creepy how many ring doorbells there are in the wild. I’m just delivering food, what if I fell on my face in the snow? Then I’m a meme for life. Or what if you’re this guy and you’re having a bad day, and you’re known as an asshole for life. That’s what I took away from this 😂
@@paulcarmi8130 yeah, it feels kinda creepy walking my dog and knowing at least 10 households have video of me...I know it's their right and there is nothing wrong with have a camera on your on property but I still think about it
This is probably the lowest bar in the world
@@gefagnis distinction: someone's personal CCTV vs amazon's database that can be spoon fed to (pick your agency).
@@paulcarmi8130 As someone who has never done this type of work, I only registered that his bosses isn't paying him enough for his service. Does that mean that the service needs to be prices higher? Very likely!
I don't think it is lame for the customer to hang up after a grown ass adult throws a temper tantrum in front of their door and agressively knocking on the door. The moment he did that all courtial conversation was nulified.
It looks staged
The customer recorded cash tip not no tip, the driver was likely doing this job at a loss anticipating the tip making it worth it. They customer then refused to give a tip. Imagine if your boss just walked over one day and said, I don't really feel like paying you for 8 hours today, I'll pay you for 5.
I used to get deliveries from Grocery Gateway. They are NOT supposed to ask for a tip. But because I would get 15-20 big bottles of water, and the guy would always carry them up a flight of stairs, I would give a $20 dollar tip. But one day, he was 3 hours late so no tip. The guys actually asked me for 20 bucks. I was already pissed off so I went and called Grocery Gateway and complained and told them to NEVER send that guy again...
$5 delivery fee
$5 service fee
The price of food has been raised in the app vs at the restaurant.
"ArEn'T yOu GoNnA tIp Me?"
Why don't you just call the restaurant instead of ordering through these garbage apps?
Yea because the driver is surely getting it all 🫠 stop using uber 🙂
@@joeMW284 Because apps often have discounts if you go to the grocery store can buy 2 identical bags of potatoes that you know taste the same, but 1 of them has a 50% discount you don't buy the more expensive potatoes to ensure the farmer gets paid well do you?
@@joeMW284 Oddly, many restaurants are relying on these apps for delivery and don't do delivery themselves any more. (Even more weird, I'm finding more and more hotels where you can't book with the hotel, but you *have* to go through a third-party hotel booking company.)
@@joeMW284 There's currently a lawsuit because Google is redirecting online search traffic for restaurants through Doordash, UberEats, etc where prices are higher and they take a cut off the top instead of going to the actual business.
I have never understood the tipping at all. The mechanic example makes sense and people do that also here in Finland all the time.
But the fact people don't get large enough salary from the company that hires them or the fact that some people don't give you a decent customer service if you don't specially pay for it makes 0 sense. Why not just pump up the prices all cross the board and hold employees to some standard how they are allowed to treat customers and still keep their job? No more pointless hassle with the cash or awkward situations with stupid preset tips with the machines.
Then while I am ranting. For example on some hotels where they want to carry your pack for you. There is WAY more work for me to keep sure that I have cash to tip the persons doing all stupid tasks like this instead of just doing carrying the pack my self. I don't get any enjoyment from not having to carry my own pack or avoid other similar minor tasks that are just normal part of life. Parking the car is also one of these.
That comment was crushing Lauri! 😱😱🤣🤣

@@brodie3088 What are you trying to get at? You don't seem to dispute what the OP said about not being paid enough? Or that the current culture/system needs to change.
@@brodie3088 "a lot easier for the system to change" Agreed. It seems there's not too much disagreement on the substance.

As a former food service worker, you're made to believe that: the customer is your boss
So you get fooled and brainwashed
Ew.
@@akale2620 "So you get fooled and brainwashed"
Or you make more money than someone that doesn't give a flip about a customer and is resentful to their employer.
I will say, even though I completely understand the man's anger, (and putting the ethics of tipping aside), I have very severe anxiety and a panic disorder. If someone were to pound on my door like that, it would absolutely make me spiral into a panic attack and probably call the police. It would also make me too scared to even think about using that service ever again.
Yeah well you're not an idiot like the person the guy was angry at, so that's how you avoid this. Don't buy things you can't really afford and this stuff becomes not a problem.
Hi. I've worked delivery.
And currently work with old people.
You MUST pound on the door, because more than half the time, the householder is out the back, half deaf, or listening to music.
So unless you are standing waiting at an open door, it WILL be pounded, because the delivery person absolutely MUST make contact with you.
When people have delivered to my place they don't knock and I have gotten a text that my food is outside on the doorstep at 10 at night. They could care less if they make contact me. Not every company has you make contact with the person. If the delivery driver says I am a fucking loser because they aren't happy with their tip and we don't know if he is super late with the food or w/e, but calling the person 3X and he didn't say "Your food is here and at your door" instead of asking about his tip I think we would all have a different perspective. If the facts supported that he wanted or needed to notify the customer, but calling the customer 3x to ask about a tip. . . . . .I would think that something is very wrong and this person is intimidating and hounding me for cash money.
@@jamescarter3196 She had already paid for everything. Tipping was evidently not mandatory, the guy was just being an entitled asshole.
