DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip::The app-based delivery service is alerting customers that drivers may not take their order in a timely manner if there is no tip included upfront.

    I’m a school bus driver and we get tips (at Christmastime and the end of the school year) for no fucking reason that I can figure out. This is bad enough as it is, but last Christmas one of my co-workers actually handed out fucking tip envelopes (like what the garbage collectors give out) to the kids on his buses. I was at least pleasantly surprised that he got in trouble for this.

      I usually give a tip to you guys around that time of the year. Why shouldn’t I? 180 days of the year, 2x a day I depend on you and I have had no problems. This is for two kids btw. Think of anything in your life that you use 720 times in one year without issue. So yeah here is 20 bucks happy holidays.

        Why shouldn’t I?

        Because we’re not volunteers, we get paid. Do you tip everybody who performs a service of any kind for you? I used to write software for a living and nobody ever tipped me.

        Thanks for the $20 BTW - it’s not like I throw out the gift cards or anything, I just think it’s weird.

          I am sorry you didn’t get a Christmas bonus. Your old employer sounds like a tool. And no I don’t tip everyone. Also I don’t give gift cards I just give cash, cash is like a gift card but you can use it at more locations so it is better.
