“food delivery drivers are so rude to restaurant employees!”
are they tho?
are they actually rude or are they just neurodivergent working one of the only jobs that doesn’t actively punish them for their support needs?
are they actually rude or are they just showing you the screen with all the information you need to know instead of going back and forth trying to give you that information verbally, only for you to mishear the name for the order and ask them to show you the screen anyway?
are they actually rude or do they just not know the specific protocol for picking up an order at your specific restaurant because they vary so wildly from restaurant to restaurant?
are they actually rude or are you making them the press the button that confirms that they have the order in hand before they actually have the order in hand or have even seen the order?
are they actually rude or are they reasonably upset that you just made their pay go below minimum wage by making them wait 20 minutes for you to take 5 seconds to hand them an order they can clearly see with their own eyes is already ready?
are they actually more rude to restaurant employees than restaurant employees are to them? because in my experience restaurant employees often treat us with extreme suspicion, act like we’re beneath them, and often make decisions that we are on the line for

This bullshit of people screwing with people’s delivery food orders because they don’t tip or don’t tip “well enough” is so extremely fucked up. What is wrong with people.
Look, I think we all understand being made about not being paid well - but you are getting mad at the wrong people. You are taking your frustration out on the wrong people. You should be trying to get the delivery company you are working for to pay you better, not screw over people just trying to order some dinner!
I have never gotten delivery much, because of extreme paranoia about things like this, and now people are really actually doing it. And in the times I have gotten delivery, I know my tipping has varied greatly. Anywhere from $0 to $15, depending on what I can afford! Not trying to be rude to people, but because delivery was literally the only way I was going to be able to eat that night and unfortunately all I could afford was the food itself. And I know I’m not the only one like that! I know some people are just being cheap assholes, but some are just poor and trying to feed themselves in anyway they can.
Also, I know my opinion on tipping has been changed since learning that it’s really just more American bullshit to put the pressure on the people instead of the company that should just be paying their employees well enough. But like, do more people need to learn this? Do people really not get that they are hurting and acting out at the wrong people? I just don’t get it. People (Americans) are really horrible sometimes.
delivery services will be like "your package is scheduled to be delivered today!" then you check and it's still in fuckin ohio
This is to ANYONE who uses a delivery service....
whether it be DoorDash, Postmates, UberEats, Grubhub, Instacart, Shipt, etc...make sure you TIP your delivery courier. Remember it is a SERVICE.
Please be mindful that these ESSENTIAL workers are:
not only driving to the establishment to retrieve your order
they are dealing with possible long lines
waiting for your order as it is still be prepared or shopping for your items
confirming your order is complete
placing your order it in a insulated travel bag for safe transport & temperature control
dealing with traffic to deliver your order in a timely manner
all while providing friendly & excellent customer service with a base pay of $2.00-$3.50 base pay per delivery.
Your tips help them not only earn a somewhat DECENT wage, but also helps them with their business expenses (i.e., fuel, car maintenance, car insurance, carwash, car registration, etc.) so they can continue to provide these services.
I use these services & on the flip side provide these services and nothing is more frustrating than to get an order, get to a restaurant and have to wait 10 minutes, FINALLY get the order, than arrive at an apartment complex 3.5 miles out & have your app NOT bring you to the EXACT location, so now your frantically searching to find the apartment in the allotted time frame, deliver it and see that you did ALL THAT for $2.50 base pay and NO TIP. 😠
We're all doing what we can to make ends meet & trying our best to navigate our way safely through this covid crisis. So again, just be mindful & kind.🙏🏼
