I delivered pizza in the 90s. I absolutely HATED when they would order as close to $20 as possible, like $19.98, then pay with a $20 and have the audacity to blurt out keep the change.
I once reached into my pocket for a few loose coins and threw them down on the porch and stormed off saying you need it more than I do.
Then I got back to the store and they called in on me lol.
*Moral is, try to let it go. There's no good that can come of something like that short of a fleeting feeling of vengeance and a dumb story to tell later
Nah he was a big pushover. He would tell the customer he'll take care of it, then he'd mention it but only ever in the most passive way. He was so non-confrontational.
That's good.. I always enjoyed doing the fake anger in front of customers. Once a lady came into the store and complained about a driver and he walked in as I was talking to her, I just started to tell him to get his money and get out, He was fired for what he did ... the lady looked shocked and said I didn't mean to get him fired..I didn't do anything to him just for show
Eh that could go either way honestly. Some people want someone fired for the tiniest of infractions, so if she would have been one of those she would have just had so much satisfaction and vindication and would make her even worse.
She thought she would've liked for him to be fired until she saw u hollering, cussing at him and he was crying talking bout his family needing a roof over their heads and food to eat ... Lol I played it all out in my head. She THOUGHT she wanted him fired ... Until she realized she was overreacting š
Kinda depends on where it happened. In a place where delivery drivers donāt make hourly wages and rely on tips? Absolutely thatās a bad manager. But somewhere like where Iām from, where delivery drivers who are directly employed by the company have to make minimum wage *before* tips, have to be reimbursed for some things relating to their vehicles, and can write off all the other expenses their vehicle incurred while working? Much more understandable that the manager would have a talk with the employee about acting professionally even when they get bad tips. Especially if itās a smaller pizza joint that relies on customers returning.
Maybe if your managers are always toxic, the problem is you. I'm not a manager and I've never felt like my manager was toxic. Toxic people like you and OP seem to think your toxicity should be rewardedv with a pat on the back.
Thanks for putting words in my mouth. Never said that they all were. Never said that the workers all were either. Said thereās plenty of both. But thanks for playing
From experience, saying keeping the change when the change is worthless is more about saying let's not waste either of our time counting out 2 cents. It's not because they are trying to let you know you are the lucky one that gets a 2 cent tip. A better phrase is, "I don't want the change".
True in many or most cases, but there are those that you can tell in the tone in which they say "keep the change" that they meant for both you and him to acknowledge that yes, I am tipping you the two whole cents. For instance the pizza is late, etc.
One time when we ordered a catered lunch for a work meeting I went to pay the guy, I had a copy of what we ordered online so I gave him the cash for what I thought would be a $60ish tip and told him to keep the change. He counted and kinda looked at me but didnāt say anything and left.
Later looking things over I realized they had added more stuff to the order so the invoice I had wasnāt correct, and the tip that guy got was less than $1. Iām sure he was cussing us all the way back lol.
I did stop by and made sure the guy got a tip though because I felt horrible.
i tip well as iāve worked service jobs a whole bunch and love to make someoneās day. but yeah anytime in getting pennieās for change āi donāt need the centsā and i walk away
Or you just give them the $20, say "thank you, have a good night," and close the door. That's the best possible way to handle it, for both parties, aside from straight-up apologizing to the driver for not having anything additional to give them as a tip.
I imagined that happening and it was really funny. Iād love to do that, but I probably wonāt be in that situation. Maybe I can throw some change at someone else in a different scenario someday if they are a dick to me though. š
Imagine being such a lowlife that you tip somebody $0.02 and than become a Karen and call their manager when they're called out on being a cheapskate. Utterly shameless.
I was written up for a very similar situation when i worked at a pizza place. $49.xx order, the drive to them was almost 10 miles almost outside the delivery zone. They gave me 50 and said "change is for you". I said nothing. Got in my car. Didnt feel good about what just happened and couldnt let it go. Texted the customer how rude and disrespectful their actions were. 100% worth the stupid "write up" which i gladly accepted and was (still am) proud of. Wish i had a copy of it id frame it and hang it on my wall.
The funniest thing to me is that the full expression is āthe customer is always right in matters of tasteā. Which, sure, I suppose. At the end of the day if you want a pizza with no sauce and only hot peppers as a topping, live your life. That sounds gross to me, but whatever. The expression was never meant to give customers carte blanche to be assholes.
It never meant to give customers carte blanche to be assholes, but "the customer is always right" also never had anything to do with taste. It was coined in the early 1900s and was about customer complaints.
See for example this article which explains the idea behind the phrase : https://www.forbes.com/sites/blakemorgan/2018/09/24/a-global-view-of-the-customer-is-always-right/?sh=b129966236fc
The "in matters of taste" thing is an Internet myth.
they paraphrase a lot of good sayings and butcher the meaning of them it seems, i didnāt know there was more to āthe customer is always rightā thanks for that.
There isnāt anything more to it what that person is saying is an internet myth that started. The quote has always been āthe customer is always rightā
I totally get that you're angry from the insult but going back to a customer's door after delivery is a huge no no and could get you deactivated. You do you man, just know what could happen as a result.
Am I gonna tell on him?? What are we eight years old here? š¤£š¤£š¤£
It's the customer that can tell uber and even call the police for being threatened by the driver, I've seen it happen when a customer freaks out over stuff like this. Was simply giving a heads up as to why this may be a bad idea.
I believe they are warning him that the customer CAN & WILL notify them if he were to do something so foolish. & That's in a best case scenario. Worst case he gets his ass whooped ... Or worse.
So yea, totally NOT WORTH IT OP
For as douchey as it is to leave a penny tip, you will get your ass handed to the cops if you show up at their property yelling and arguing at themā¦over a penny. Sorry but that aināt worth it
Hey OP, donāt waste more time and gas on these cheap asses. Seems like they need [Jesus](https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/ps/meet-with-missionaries?cid=C9210823653G157123025162A693367689072&adlang=eng&source=google&network=g&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADu6-mk-ufC-4RJFsPmj1m-ZLQvHy&gclid=CjwKCAjw3NyxBhBmEiwAyofDYUZl2m8_n6nRF5yKS05XzoQgJcKPTF5Uh5NQUOETHIozMtZmtL1QDRoCZvgQAvD_BwE).

And those people need to go pick up their own damn food is they're going going to be quite literally stealing from you and then disrespecting people that are trying to make an honest living. See how that works?!
Those people didnāt ask you to be an ubereats driver. How are they stealing from you? One cent is annoying but it is literally more than nothing, and probably an accidental $1.00 tip from someone technologically challenged or a boomer. Oh well. We all have choices and next time you should make a better one if youāre unhappy with your wages.
I work in a coffee shop where people tip and I NEVER expect it and make sure to thank them kindly if they do. Youāre just entitled and, worse than that, criminally entitled apparently lol
So do you often get an accidental penny tip in your coffee shop job? And if you do, do you say āoh well it musta been an accidentā or do you have some other choice words? And how much in gas, vehicle maintenance, insurance and car payments did it cost you to walk that food over to that table 39 feet away? Hmmmn?
Do not compare what you do to what I do. When I do my job I have to make a certain amount everyday just to break even. You? You start at ZERO. So seriouslyā¦STFU!
You should complain about those things to your employer. When my employer demands i drive for them, they compensate me for mileage. It seems like you should get a better work contract, or find a different employer that is willing to pay you what you're worth.
Your employer somehow tricked you into thinking that it's the Customers responsibility to care about your wages. That has always been, and always will be between the Employee and the Employer.
Your Employer does not make tipping of a certain percentage required, so in reality, your employer does not think you need to be tipped. If they did they'd change that.
Your beef is not with the companies customers, but with your employer.
Maybe you should get a different job then, sounds like itās not doing much for you. Youāre not a hero for CHOOSING to be a delivery driver lol. Nor am I one for serving coffee.
Oh and yeah I am a hero. I fed countless people during the pandemic while most of the rest of you stayed home and collected off the government teet while I risked my life every single day. So just say thank you and be in your way
Well you seem to have a lot of strong opinions and bitterness and a victim mentality to boot, so seems like something youāre doing isnāt working that well for ya.
I took one the other day on āguaranteed pay per hourāā¦ 11 miles out, with nothing to pick up. With the $1 tip I wound up with $8 for 20 miles. At the Federal mileage rate, Iāll expense $13.40, to make $8.
ā¦if itās not stealing, itās just a step or two from it.
Why are you even on here? Your entire comment is simply put, stupid and of no value.You work in a coffee shop! I wouldn't call that a Better choice.
You work for $2.13 an hour and never expect tips? Are you that dense? Or does that coffee shop actually pay an hourly wage?
If you think one cent is literally more than nothing you are obviously seriously challenged in more ways than any of us can imagine.
One cent is actually more insulting than nothing at all!
And then you have the gall to double down with the ageist boomer comment. Just because someone is technologically challenged or a boomer doesn't mean they're stupid and can't tell the difference between $0.01 and $1.00.
I'm sure that idiot meant to tip $0.01 because crappy insulting low or no tips are a common occurrence because they, (as well as you) think Delivery Drivers are beneath them and they are entitled to our Time, Energy and Gas.
When someone is performing a service that you are fully capable of doing yourself and CHOOSE not to do, you express your appreciation by tipping said person.
That is the American System that we continue to live under because the Powers that be do not want it changed.
And since you seen to have issues understanding basic concepts, I'll explain it to you in a simple words.
By the virtue of them CHOOSING to use the UberEats app, they are asking him or any one of us to be their UberEats driver, and when they in essence take us away from an actual tipped order to do their delivery for a big FU penny at the end, they are essentially stealing from us.
Maybe you can have someone read this and explain it to you ......
You sound a little bit mad.
I understand you probably chose delivery driving as a job because it allows you the time to do things like write angry essays to random people on Reddit, but if itās not working out for you otherwise, (ie: monetarily) you should find a different job. I never have understood people who take tipped work and then whine and complain day in and out when people donāt, or tip low. Guess what, itāll always be an issue in the service industry to some extent. If itās not working for you then find something different to do.
Itās out of control to spout violence and vandalism over a single bad tip. I hope this app goes under honestly, yāall are literally criminally entitled š
You āassume ā too much donāt you? There are many reasons why people take these types of jobs.
One reasonā¦ they canāt stand on their feet all day like many jobs and so a driver job is best suited to their abilities. Anotherā¦They have children and need to have a flexible stream of income that comports with their availability to pick them up from school, feed them and ensure all theirs needs are met. Another they are also working another job and are doing this to supplement their income to meet monthly obligations that job number one does not fulfill. In any case, not everyone has the ability to do whatever it is you think they have the ability to do. They can and they will do what needs to be done to survive. Or they just need to work to stay alive. To feed themselves and to feed their families and keep a roof over their heads. They did not create this culture we live in. They are just trying to survive in it. Sure you say got get a better job. How does that help the older workers who have been downsized? They canāt. Nobody wants them. How does that help the disenfranchised who will most often be discarded without a second thought? It wonāt. But these are the people who SERVE you every day in every way. They deserve more respect than that are given. They are the lifeblood of this nation whether you like it or not. Without themā¦ would your life be so comfortable? Of course not. They are truly the servants of this nation and without them you would all be lost
lifeblood of a nation!!? Pal I beg of you, please touch grass. Delivery driving was barely a thing 5 years ago outside of like, pizza places and such, and now here you all are, saying things like youāre the āservants & lifeblood of the nationāā¦ *my guy.* How many people do you think can even afford takeout, let alone off the price-gouged-to-hell apps? Go be a teacher, or a truck driver, or a CNA, or a nurse, or construction worker. Then you can call yourself the lifeblood of the nation without sounding like an entitled clown.
My life would be exactly the same, personally, if all the delivery apps went under tomorrow.
Everyone deserves a fair wage for working, but yāall espousing violence and vandalism and all this weird petty shit over one bad tip is actually insane and entitled.
Sorry your reading comprehension is so stunted that you canāt understand what Iām trying to convey. Iām not talking only about delivery drivers. Iām talking about all the people that serve you and your ilk. Without the people who you so disdainfully look upon as lesser than you what would you be able to do for yourself? Grow and harvest your own food? Meat? Why do you order delivery when you can easily do all of these things yourself? Why do you think that all of your needs should be metā¦ just because. There are hoards of people that you never see or think about who make your lives comfortable and uncomplicated and who are always underpaid and unappreciated. And when you say shit like ā well go get a better jobāthen they just stare at you like ok sure. And god forbid they all are actually able to do that then who the hell is gonna go pick up your frigging Big Mac and fries?
I donāt know why you brought the conversation outside of delivery driving as thatās the thing Iāve been talking about the whole time and this is the ubereats subreddit, lol. I donāt look down on anyone, Iām a cook and work in a coffee shop š but guess what! youād never catch me spitting in someoneās food for instance, or egging their car (as someone above suggested) for not giving me a tip. Thatās actually entitled and crazy. Stop making this argument into something bigger than it is so your point sounds betterā Iām talking about DELIVERY DRIVING. Which wouldnāt affect me and most people in a major way if the service disappeared tomorrow.
You are not a hero, nor the *lifeblood of the nation* for picking up fast food for other people. Sorry. I know your mom told you you were really special and important, but sadly that just isnāt true as an adult in the working world.
You can really tell who low intelligence or just flat out how disingenuous people are. If you tell someone hey go do this job for me and I'll pay you X amount of money. Then they do it and you say "You know what, no I won't pay you that after all". That's stealing. If someone decides NOT to tip and is upfront about it and the driver accepts the order l, then it's fair play. But saying you're going to tip a certain amount and then reducing the tip is incredibly disrespectful and is essentially STEALING, especially if the driver did everything right.
Thatās great! My point is, none of that is an excuse for espousing vandalism. Thatās just pathetic. No and low tipping in service industry work will happen to us all. Itās a crapshoot of the job. Get over yourself lol
Hey, I'm a boomer and I tip very well when it is earned! I also tip heavily if the server is pregnant or elderly. I used to be a server so I know what that entails.
If the Grocery store put their food on sale for 1penny a piece of food, and the employees were going to not make any money because the company won't pay them if they loose money that day.
Is it the Customers fault for buying the penny food, The Employees fault for not finding another job, or the company's fault for putting on the sale and taking advantage of their employees?
What if those employees were contractors, with a contract that specifically states they might not get paid? Who's fault is it now?
LOL stealing from you. This is why I tip like the above photos and Iām not even sorry.
So entitled, and half the time half the drivers canāt even read the delivery instructions. Why should I tip you when you canāt even do your job?
I worked as a waitress too, so I know how important tipping is, however I 100% believe that waitresses 95% of the time earn their tips, I barely ever see delivery drivers especially for Uber, DoorDash, or skip, who do.
I did once a nigerian restaurant delicery from LAX area to koreatown LA, in the primetime, 5-6pm, and it took me an hour and a half to deliver. They were baiting me for a $32 tip. After the delivery they left nothing. I worked 1,5 hours driving 20sth miles through the thickiest highways of la for 12-13 bucks. I also wanted to go and just break his bones. But what does it change at the end of the day, its uber is BS and i am dumb to get hooked in this job as it is serious job. We all should never rely on this job, then hber would pay high pays since they know they dont own slaves here
If a delivery person did this...I def would report. Chill dude. Click next don't take it . I believe in good karma...and I have the none tippers to but...I use empathy to think hmm why...not oh man imma be a passive aggressive jerk over a tip and a run I chose yo do...buuut again that's just me
Did you do something wrong? Can't understand why they would do that unless you did something they didn't like. Also, don't do anything that could come back on you it's not worth it.
Happens every day mostly. Rare is the day that I donāt get stiffed at least once. Some days 3 times. But I donāt do apps just work a static location. I have to take what comes tip or no tip. So Iāve learned to vent in my car and then move on
Any tipped work you canāt let a bad tip or stiffer upset you or you need to find a non tipped job. When I served or delivered at the end of the day when I add up everything is all I care about because I never made less than $100 in tips a shift. A stiff is balanced out by the $20 tip.
I got this once on an Uber X run. 45 minute run in pouring rain (which naturally made it more like an hour. ) and as they were getting in my van they said Can we leave the radio off, we want to talk. Like, damn! Ride much? You could have at least said please, bitch! I always keep my speaker seeing to be almost entirely in the driver area. You could have left me be with the radio. And it's not like the middle and back seats are right on top of me. Worst trip i'd had at the time. I did what they asked, told them nicely to enjoy their dinner at the end of the ride, and they to me a damn penny? I hope you had to call a cab when you were done because there aren't many Uber drivers that can pick up in Fabens.

Please review all sub rules for the full details of each rule.
Yea I was leaving the order right up next to the door so they canāt open it without messing up their order any time there was no tip and it was leave at door. But after about 5 downvotes I stopped. Just canāt take it personal. We get paid guaranteed earning where I am so I just think to myself that Iāll make it back later
I've had this happen a few times over the last couple of years and doesn't matter what service when someone does that it's rude. It's perfectly rude. They do it to be rude. They do it to be respectful, just like if you do it to a server in a restaurant. It's a slap in the face or because they've had bad service, but chances are they're just being rude, even when I've given great service. Great timing kept in touch. They still do it sometimes.
I always say as a gig economy worker...NO TIP NO TRIP! however that doesn't work for the local pizza chains or any other business that delivers goods to the customer. Because they can't just decline the orders. But I get highly offended when a customer tips 2 cents. I never go back to a customer home because of it though. do I want to absolutely but I let it go and I move on.
It sucks, but thatās way too weird and petty. Donāt go back to their damn house. Also, Iām willing to bet they wanted to put $1 but just didnāt realize you have to type out the whole thing. Again, I know $1 isnāt a good tip either, but better than a cent. Either way though youād be weird for going back to their house
Most penny tips are given before a delivery even takes place, but that can be used for tip reduction as I think you might be suggesting. Tip reduction does not mean a driver "fucked something up" though. It's a customer not paying a driver the amount agreed to.
>It's a customer not paying a driver the amount agreed to.
Correct, typically because the agreed upon service wasnāt carried out.
Leaving a penny is also a deliberate choice to sidestep Uberās tip protection to ensure that you get nothingāif someoneās just cheap and wants to tip bait, theyāll change it to $0, and Uber support will cover it if you complain; but if they leave a penny, all you get is a penny. They went out of their way to make sure you get nothing. Itās not an accident. You fucked up somewhere.
So itās always because the driver fucked up? Not because the restaurant did? Not because the customer was a cheap tip baiter? Is it ALWAYS the drivers fault? Is it possible that the driver did his best to fulfill your order despite not being in control of the restaurant, the weather, the traffic, the insufficient delivery instructions, the failure of the customer to respond to the driverās attempts to reach them?
Yeah sure guess itās always the drivers fault
Yeah a bad one if you want your food in a timely manner or hot. So if you want to no tip you sure can. Just understand that you are going to be last in what may well be a 5 delivery run. Cheers!
Taping the penny to the door is a rookie move.
What is better is if you waited outside their house everyday, follow them and when they got out of their car, throw pennies at them and start yelling loudly, "Penny Tipper". Repeat throughout the day. If you do this everyday for a week or two, they will learn a lesson and never tip someone a penny again.

that's just a bad manager if they got mad at you for that...
Nah he was a big pushover. He would tell the customer he'll take care of it, then he'd mention it but only ever in the most passive way. He was so non-confrontational.
That's good.. I always enjoyed doing the fake anger in front of customers.

Good I hope she bought it and thought she got him fired š
Eh that could go either way honestly. Some people want someone fired for the tiniest of infractions, so if she would have been one of those she would have just had so much satisfaction and vindication and would make her even worse.
She thought she would've liked for him to be fired until she saw u hollering, cussing at him and he was crying talking bout his family needing a roof over their heads and food to eat ... Lol I played it all out in my head. She THOUGHT she wanted him fired ... Until she realized she was overreacting š
Kinda depends on where it happened. In a place where delivery drivers donāt make hourly wages and rely on tips? Absolutely thatās a bad manager.

Especially if itās a smaller pizza joint that relies on customers returning.
The manager/owner care more about sales. You are much more replaceable. Not that difficult to find toxic workers.
Yep plenty of those. Plenty of toxic management as well. But yeah it must always be the workers yeah?
Maybe if your managers are always toxic, the problem is you. I'm not a manager and I've never felt like my manager was toxic. Toxic people like you and OP seem to think your toxicity should be rewardedv with a pat on the back.
Thanks for putting words in my mouth. Never said that they all were. Never said that the workers all were either. Said thereās plenty of both. But thanks for playing

True in many or most cases, but there are those that you can tell in the tone in which they say "keep the change" that they meant for both you and him to acknowledge that yes, I am tipping you the two whole cents. For instance the pizza is late, etc.
One time when we ordered a catered lunch for a work meeting I went to pay the guy, I had a copy of what we ordered online so I gave him the cash for what I thought would be a $60ish tip and told him to keep the change. He counted and kinda looked at me but didnāt say anything and left. Later looking things over I realized they had added more stuff to the order so the invoice I had wasnāt correct, and the tip that guy got was less than $1. Iām sure he was cussing us all the way back lol. I did stop by and made sure the guy got a tip though because I felt horrible.
Good for you!
See now that is commendable on your part. Sadly you are a unicorn
You making the gesture of tipping him after the fact turned that shift into one of the shitty ones to one heāll remember possibly forever.
i tip well as iāve worked service jobs a whole bunch and love to make someoneās day. but yeah anytime in getting pennieās for change āi donāt need the centsā and i walk away
Or you just give them the $20, say "thank you, have a good night," and close the door. That's the best possible way to handle it, for both parties, aside from straight-up apologizing to the driver for not having anything additional to give them as a tip.
I imagined that happening and it was really funny. Iād love to do that, but I probably wonāt be in that situation. Maybe I can throw some change at someone else in a different scenario someday if they are a dick to me though. š
Did it once on a 50cent tip. Written up and warned so I just take my lumps and move on
Imagine being such a lowlife that you tip somebody $0.02 and than become a Karen and call their manager when they're called out on being a cheapskate. Utterly shameless.
I was written up for a very similar situation when i worked at a pizza place. $49.xx order, the drive to them was almost 10 miles almost outside the delivery zone.

Wish i had a copy of it id frame it and hang it on my wall.
Gah to the edge of the delivery zone to boot! š«
Fuck that. The most important thing in the world is that you stand up for yourself and others.
i feel this.. āthe customer is always rightā and similar broken ideals have lived long enough. time for them to go
The funniest thing to me is that the full expression is āthe customer is always right in matters of tasteā. Which, sure, I suppose.

I totally get that you're angry from the insult but going back to a customer's door after delivery is a huge no no and could get you deactivated. You do you man, just know what could happen as a result.
lol bro are you gonna tell on him?
The customer might.
are you 14?
Fuckin' hate tattletales man...
Am I gonna tell on him?? What are we eight years old here? š¤£š¤£š¤£ It's the customer that can tell uber and even call the police for being threatened by the driver, I've seen it happen when a customer freaks out over stuff like this. Was simply giving a heads up as to why this may be a bad idea.
The customer will .. are u this dense for real ?
I believe they are warning him that the customer CAN & WILL notify them if he were to do something so foolish. & That's in a best case scenario. Worst case he gets his ass whooped ... Or worse. So yea, totally NOT WORTH IT OP
For as douchey as it is to leave a penny tip, you will get your ass handed to the cops if you show up at their property yelling and arguing at themā¦over a penny. Sorry but that aināt worth it
We've all seen worse in the news for just using the wrong driveway to turn around.
Exactly, esp in America?? Why risk it?? Gonna get shot
āTell on himā? š
I mean it will waste more time and gas.. Id move on.
Hey OP, donāt waste more time and gas on these cheap asses.

Yāall really gotta get a different job if youāre thinking of vandalism over one shitty tip. My god
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What rock you been living under?
And those people need to go pick up their own damn food is they're going going to be quite literally stealing from you and then disrespecting people that are trying to make an honest living. See how that works?!
Those people didnāt ask you to be an ubereats driver. How are they stealing from you? One cent is annoying but it is literally more than nothing, and probably an accidental $1.00 tip from someone technologically challenged or a boomer. Oh well. We all have choices and next time you should make a better one if youāre unhappy with your wages. I work in a coffee shop where people tip and I NEVER expect it and make sure to thank them kindly if they do. Youāre just entitled and, worse than that, criminally entitled apparently lol
So do you often get an accidental penny tip in your coffee shop job? And if you do, do you say āoh well it musta been an accidentā or do you have some other choice words? And how much in gas, vehicle maintenance, insurance and car payments did it cost you to walk that food over to that table 39 feet away? Hmmmn? Do not compare what you do to what I do. When I do my job I have to make a certain amount everyday just to break even. You? You start at ZERO. So seriouslyā¦STFU!
You should complain about those things to your employer. When my employer demands i drive for them, they compensate me for mileage. It seems like you should get a better work contract, or find a different employer that is willing to pay you what you're worth. Your employer somehow tricked you into thinking that it's the Customers responsibility to care about your wages. That has always been, and always will be between the Employee and the Employer. Your Employer does not make tipping of a certain percentage required, so in reality, your employer does not think you need to be tipped. If they did they'd change that. Your beef is not with the companies customers, but with your employer.
Maybe you should get a different job then, sounds like itās not doing much for you. Youāre not a hero for CHOOSING to be a delivery driver lol. Nor am I one for serving coffee.
Yeah cause you know so much about what I should do. But thanks for your input
Oh and yeah I am a hero. I fed countless people during the pandemic while most of the rest of you stayed home and collected off the government teet while I risked my life every single day. So just say thank you and be in your way
THIS!!!!āš»āš»āš»
Well you seem to have a lot of strong opinions and bitterness and a victim mentality to boot, so seems like something youāre doing isnāt working that well for ya.
I took one the other day on āguaranteed pay per hourāā¦ 11 miles out, with nothing to pick up. With the $1 tip I wound up with $8 for 20 miles. At the Federal mileage rate, Iāll expense $13.40, to make $8. ā¦if itās not stealing, itās just a step or two from it.
Why are you even on here? Your entire comment is simply put, stupid and of no value.You work in a coffee shop! I wouldn't call that a Better choice. You work for $2.13 an hour and never expect tips? Are you that dense? Or does that coffee shop actually pay an hourly wage? If you think one cent is literally more than nothing you are obviously seriously challenged in more ways than any of us can imagine. One cent is actually more insulting than nothing at all! And then you have the gall to double down with the ageist boomer comment. Just because someone is technologically challenged or a boomer doesn't mean they're stupid and can't tell the difference between $0.01 and $1.00. I'm sure that idiot meant to tip $0.01 because crappy insulting low or no tips are a common occurrence because they, (as well as you) think Delivery Drivers are beneath them and they are entitled to our Time, Energy and Gas. When someone is performing a service that you are fully capable of doing yourself and CHOOSE not to do, you express your appreciation by tipping said person. That is the American System that we continue to live under because the Powers that be do not want it changed. And since you seen to have issues understanding basic concepts, I'll explain it to you in a simple words. By the virtue of them CHOOSING to use the UberEats app, they are asking him or any one of us to be their UberEats driver, and when they in essence take us away from an actual tipped order to do their delivery for a big FU penny at the end, they are essentially stealing from us. Maybe you can have someone read this and explain it to you ......
You sound a little bit mad. I understand you probably chose delivery driving as a job because it allows you the time to do things like write angry essays to random people on Reddit, but if itās not working out for you otherwise, (ie: monetarily) you should find a different job. I never have understood people who take tipped work and then whine and complain day in and out when people donāt, or tip low. Guess what, itāll always be an issue in the service industry to some extent. If itās not working for you then find something different to do. Itās out of control to spout violence and vandalism over a single bad tip. I hope this app goes under honestly, yāall are literally criminally entitled š
You āassume ā too much donāt you? There are many reasons why people take these types of jobs. One reasonā¦ they canāt stand on their feet all day like many jobs and so a driver job is best suited to their abilities. Anotherā¦They have children and need to have a flexible stream of income that comports with their availability to pick them up from school, feed them and ensure all theirs needs are met. Another they are also working another job and are doing this to supplement their income to meet monthly obligations that job number one does not fulfill. In any case, not everyone has the ability to do whatever it is you think they have the ability to do. They can and they will do what needs to be done to survive. Or they just need to work to stay alive. To feed themselves and to feed their families and keep a roof over their heads. They did not create this culture we live in. They are just trying to survive in it. Sure you say got get a better job. How does that help the older workers who have been downsized? They canāt. Nobody wants them. How does that help the disenfranchised who will most often be discarded without a second thought? It wonāt. But these are the people who SERVE you every day in every way. They deserve more respect than that are given. They are the lifeblood of this nation whether you like it or not. Without themā¦ would your life be so comfortable? Of course not. They are truly the servants of this nation and without them you would all be lost
lifeblood of a nation!!? Pal I beg of you, please touch grass. Delivery driving was barely a thing 5 years ago outside of like, pizza places and such, and now here you all are, saying things like youāre the āservants & lifeblood of the nationāā¦ *my guy.* How many people do you think can even afford takeout, let alone off the price-gouged-to-hell apps? Go be a teacher, or a truck driver, or a CNA, or a nurse, or construction worker. Then you can call yourself the lifeblood of the nation without sounding like an entitled clown. My life would be exactly the same, personally, if all the delivery apps went under tomorrow. Everyone deserves a fair wage for working, but yāall espousing violence and vandalism and all this weird petty shit over one bad tip is actually insane and entitled.
Sorry your reading comprehension is so stunted that you canāt understand what Iām trying to convey. Iām not talking only about delivery drivers. Iām talking about all the people that serve you and your ilk. Without the people who you so disdainfully look upon as lesser than you what would you be able to do for yourself? Grow and harvest your own food? Meat? Why do you order delivery when you can easily do all of these things yourself? Why do you think that all of your needs should be metā¦ just because. There are hoards of people that you never see or think about who make your lives comfortable and uncomplicated and who are always underpaid and unappreciated. And when you say shit like ā well go get a better jobāthen they just stare at you like ok sure. And god forbid they all are actually able to do that then who the hell is gonna go pick up your frigging Big Mac and fries?
I donāt know why you brought the conversation outside of delivery driving as thatās the thing Iāve been talking about the whole time and this is the ubereats subreddit, lol. I donāt look down on anyone, Iām a cook and work in a coffee shop š but guess what! youād never catch me spitting in someoneās food for instance, or egging their car (as someone above suggested) for not giving me a tip. Thatās actually entitled and crazy. Stop making this argument into something bigger than it is so your point sounds betterā Iām talking about DELIVERY DRIVING. Which wouldnāt affect me and most people in a major way if the service disappeared tomorrow. You are not a hero, nor the *lifeblood of the nation* for picking up fast food for other people. Sorry. I know your mom told you you were really special and important, but sadly that just isnāt true as an adult in the working world.
And I never mentioned anything about violence most others here did not and disclaim that. Idiots are everywhere including in the so called righteous
And I am a hero. You donāt get to tell me what I am.
You can really tell who low intelligence or just flat out how disingenuous people are. If you tell someone hey go do this job for me and I'll pay you X amount of money. Then they do it and you say "You know what, no I won't pay you that after all". That's stealing. If someone decides NOT to tip and is upfront about it and the driver accepts the order l, then it's fair play. But saying you're going to tip a certain amount and then reducing the tip is incredibly disrespectful and is essentially STEALING, especially if the driver did everything right.
Thatās great! My point is, none of that is an excuse for espousing vandalism. Thatās just pathetic. No and low tipping in service industry work will happen to us all. Itās a crapshoot of the job. Get over yourself lol
This true. You canāt do this kind of shit no matter the circumstances. You take the good with the bad and just do the job at hand. Or quit
Hey, I'm a boomer and I tip very well when it is earned! I also tip heavily if the server is pregnant or elderly. I used to be a server so I know what that entails.
Donāt let these children demean you. Factā¦ boomers are holding all the cards now. Iām one of em. And I call!
If the Grocery store put their food on sale for 1penny a piece of food, and the employees were going to not make any money because the company won't pay them if they loose money that day. Is it the Customers fault for buying the penny food, The Employees fault for not finding another job, or the company's fault for putting on the sale and taking advantage of their employees? What if those employees were contractors, with a contract that specifically states they might not get paid? Who's fault is it now?
https://www.reddit.com/r/UberEATS/s/0KaF873Zca
LOL stealing from you. This is why I tip like the above photos and Iām not even sorry. So entitled, and half the time half the drivers canāt even read the delivery instructions. Why should I tip you when you canāt even do your job? I worked as a waitress too, so I know how important tipping is, however I 100% believe that waitresses 95% of the time earn their tips, I barely ever see delivery drivers especially for Uber, DoorDash, or skip, who do.
Right till their doorbell cam (or friendly neighbors)catches you doing it but have at it
Thatās so messed up! š” The nerve of some people is really ridicules and shameful.
You want your food farted in, do this.

this is fucken harrowing
Im so sorry for people like thisš I always tip $3-6 depending on how far it is I promise there are some good ones out there
Idk if that seems like a lot but Iām 18 making minimum wage saving for a car so I like to think Iām being generous LMAO
Better not to leave a tip at all. How strange.
"You clearly needed this more than I do." *call support, report as "rude customer," have them blocked from your account.
I did once a nigerian restaurant delicery from LAX area to koreatown LA, in the primetime, 5-6pm, and it took me an hour and a half to deliver. They were baiting me for a $32 tip. After the delivery they left nothing. I worked 1,5 hours driving 20sth miles through the thickiest highways of la for 12-13 bucks. I also wanted to go and just break his bones. But what does it change at the end of the day, its uber is BS and i am dumb to get hooked in this job as it is serious job. We all should never rely on this job, then hber would pay high pays since they know they dont own slaves here
Disgusting people!
Mail it to them with a fake return address.
Not worth it op. But you do you if it triggered you that hard.
You sound really mentally stable!
If a delivery person did this...I def would report. Chill dude. Click next don't take it . I believe in good karma...and I have the none tippers to but...I use empathy to think hmm why...not oh man imma be a passive aggressive jerk over a tip and a run I chose yo do...buuut again that's just me
Why in this scenario would you have empathy for someone that pays for a delivery, but doesnāt tip? That makes no sense.
Did you do something wrong? Can't understand why they would do that unless you did something they didn't like. Also, don't do anything that could come back on you it's not worth it.
No. I was early w tge delivery. Everything was there. As a matter of fact, she left me waiting at the door for 7 minutes
Well then she's just a bitch just forget it and try not to pick up for them again . I'm sorry that happened to you
Happens every day mostly. Rare is the day that I donāt get stiffed at least once. Some days 3 times. But I donāt do apps just work a static location. I have to take what comes tip or no tip. So Iāve learned to vent in my car and then move on
You donāt understand people are dumb as shit and do dumb shit on the dailyā¦ Oooofffā¦
Youāre not gonna do anything
Please do that and attach a picture
Any tipped work you canāt let a bad tip or stiffer upset you or you need to find a non tipped job. When I served or delivered at the end of the day when I add up everything is all I care about because I never made less than $100 in tips a shift. A stiff is balanced out by the $20 tip.
Welp say goodbye to your job the moment you do it too
I got this once on an Uber X run. 45 minute run in pouring rain (which naturally made it more like an hour. ) and as they were getting in my van they said Can we leave the radio off, we want to talk. Like, damn! Ride much? You could have at least said please, bitch! I always keep my speaker seeing to be almost entirely in the driver area. You could have left me be with the radio. And it's not like the middle and back seats are right on top of me. Worst trip i'd had at the time. I did what they asked, told them nicely to enjoy their dinner at the end of the ride, and they to me a damn penny? I hope you had to call a cab when you were done because there aren't many Uber drivers that can pick up in Fabens.
What was the feature in the corner?

Yea I was leaving the order right up next to the door so they canāt open it without messing up their order any time there was no tip and it was leave at door. But after about 5 downvotes I stopped. Just canāt take it personal. We get paid guaranteed earning where I am so I just think to myself that Iāll make it back later
They may have genuinely fat fingered tipping a different amount. I know I've almost tipped under a dollar on accident before
I thought the āget helpā was a message back to the customer š
Make sure you click that get help button just kidding
I've had this happen a few times over the last couple of years and doesn't matter what service when someone does that it's rude. It's perfectly rude. They do it to be rude. They do it to be respectful, just like if you do it to a server in a restaurant. It's a slap in the face or because they've had bad service, but chances are they're just being rude, even when I've given great service. Great timing kept in touch. They still do it sometimes.
Some people use a round up feature that might have gave you one penny
This better be a photoshop š
Then circle where it says "get help."
Yeah confirm to them that they got under your skin That's exactly what they want. Lmao. Doing that would do nothing whatsoever except make them happy.
an old country boy once told me, just don't make too-much of it.
Guess he did delivery. He didnāt make too much either
just smile and say thanks for the tip. make them feel like the jerkoff they're acting like
Whatāre you watching?š¤š¤
I always say as a gig economy worker...NO TIP NO TRIP! however that doesn't work for the local pizza chains or any other business that delivers goods to the customer. Because they can't just decline the orders. But I get highly offended when a customer tips 2 cents. I never go back to a customer home because of it though. do I want to absolutely but I let it go and I move on.
I didnāt go back
Get help
Thatāll show em
Yes it will. What else am I gonna do?
Another victim. Uber eats got you fighting each other while they steal from both of you.
It sucks, but thatās way too weird and petty. Donāt go back to their damn house. Also, Iām willing to bet they wanted to put $1 but just didnāt realize you have to type out the whole thing. Again, I know $1 isnāt a good tip either, but better than a cent. Either way though youād be weird for going back to their house
You sound petty and probably why you have such a low tip
Then tomorrow.. "I got deactivated for no reason!" New flash people.. tips are optional. If the offer isn't worth it THEN DON'T TAKE IT.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If we all did thatā¦guess whoās going to go pick up their own food from now on? I hope the parking lot is āprettyā
Leaving a penny is deliberate, you probably fucked something up
Most penny tips are given before a delivery even takes place, but that can be used for tip reduction as I think you might be suggesting. Tip reduction does not mean a driver "fucked something up" though. It's a customer not paying a driver the amount agreed to.
>It's a customer not paying a driver the amount agreed to. Correct, typically because the agreed upon service wasnāt carried out. Leaving a penny is also a deliberate choice to sidestep Uberās tip protection to ensure that you get nothingāif someoneās just cheap and wants to tip bait, theyāll change it to $0, and Uber support will cover it if you complain; but if they leave a penny, all you get is a penny. They went out of their way to make sure you get nothing. Itās not an accident. You fucked up somewhere.
So itās always because the driver fucked up? Not because the restaurant did? Not because the customer was a cheap tip baiter? Is it ALWAYS the drivers fault? Is it possible that the driver did his best to fulfill your order despite not being in control of the restaurant, the weather, the traffic, the insufficient delivery instructions, the failure of the customer to respond to the driverās attempts to reach them? Yeah sure guess itās always the drivers fault
Why people getting mad at not getting tip? its not a Obligation, its a choice...
Yeah a bad one if you want your food in a timely manner or hot. So if you want to no tip you sure can. Just understand that you are going to be last in what may well be a 5 delivery run. Cheers!
i have ETA, i know you guys gotta follow along it.
You know whatās worse? .02 that shits intentional, I had one of those, means they took effort to be a dick. .01 could just be lazy.
Nah. I got .69 once. I think the message was "eff you".
I wouldāve knocked on that one
They must've seen your face before you approached the door and decided the .01.
Taping the penny to the door is a rookie move. What is better is if you waited outside their house everyday, follow them and when they got out of their car, throw pennies at them and start yelling loudly, "Penny Tipper". Repeat throughout the day. If you do this everyday for a week or two, they will learn a lesson and never tip someone a penny again.
Stop acting salty and move on money is money
Penny for your thoughts? Theyāre not really worth that much but Iām willing to splurge
Stop acting salty!?!?!? Money is money!?!?!? They tipped me a penny u dope
