DoorDash driver to customer: "F*** you

[Kyle]

DoorDash driver fired after video showed him cursing out mother: 'Nice house for a $5 tip'


Lacey Purciful tells 'Fox & Friends' about pizza deliveryman's rude remark in front of her young daughter


A Texas homeowner, who was cursed at by a DoorDash delivery driver over the tip amount, shared her message for the disgruntled worker following the heated exchange.

"Just be kind, because you don't know what anyone's going through," Purciful told Steve Doocy Thursday, explaining that her $5 tip amounted to 22% of the total order cost.

Lacey Purciful said she's been ordering food through the app while she and her husband have been recovering from a car accident in recent months.

She tipped him $5 on her pizza order, but that apparently wasn't enough for the angry driver. The encounter, all caught on her home surveillance camera, showed the driver approach the door with the pizza that she ordered.

After he handed the pizza to her, he said, "I just want to say it's a nice house for a $5 tip."

"You're welcome," Purciful shot back.

"F*** you," the driver said as he walked away.

I wish the US would adopt the European model and quit the whole mandatory tipping thing. Pay service workers a decent wage so they don't expect us to supplement it by tipping. If they do go above and beyond with their service then yeah, I'll recognize that with a gratuity. But, it should be my choice, not compulsory.

I don't like tipping when I place an order. Too many times my order was left somewhere else. Always with Door Dash (who I won't use anymore).

My neighbors received a food order, no idea who it was from or who. They checked with the next door and across the street. Free dinner for them that night. I'm sure whoever ordered was pissed to not get their food.

I was having the same problem with FedEx too. It's as if nobody reads the instructions or can read an apartment number. Their first response is to check with neighbors. I'll be d*amned if I'm wandering the neighborhood looking for my package or food at someone else's door. After my many complaints the Regional Manager finally fixed the problem.

I guess it's been a while since I delivered pizzas. Even on a twenty dollar order, I'd be lucky to get TWO bucks.
My average per night was 1.50 per pizza - that's average. Some people didn't tip at all. I had the second highest tip average.
Once, when the bill came to 9.80 I got ten bucks. Yup. Twenty CENTS.

Most large pizzas came to 7.25, and I'd get one buck or a buck seventy five. Once I delivered to some stoner who gave me a twenty and said yeah, keep the change (13.75).

We did have ONE guy who delivered to this divorcee way out in the trailer park. He was gone for 90 minutes and came back with a 35 dollar tip.
I don't think that was why he was smiling.

I noticed my neighbor get a FexEx delivery from a POV last Friday evening.

We get quite a few of those too...either POV or mostly unmarked "rental" vans.

Back in the early 70s I was pumping gas. You were lucky to get leftover change from a $5 fillup.

My last 3 or 4 FexEx deliveries were Penske or Budget.

I ordered a multi-meter off of Amazon for reading higher DC amperage than my Klein could handle and selected same day delivery. I'll be damned if a guy didn't show up at about 15 minutes before dark with package in hand. Are these guys supposed to be tipped? I can't remember if I did or not.

Pumped gas for a couple yrs while in high school...NEVER saw a tip and that was back in the day where you would clean the windshield, check the oil and tire pressures.

I've "tipped" some of our regular delivery drivers ...with crab cakes (vac bagged and frozen), soft crabs (wrapped and frozen) etc. They love it when we do that.

 

[Gilligan]

if the driver was wearing a mini-skirt..... thats when it was safe to do so.

yeah..i hear ya. I stopped wearing mini-skirts after it got dangerous to do so.

The drivers probably fight over getting your packages on their truck.

I've used DoorDash precisely one time in my life. I ordered a sub and chips from Subway, and when the gal got there the chips were missing. I told her there was supposed to be chips and she got all pissed like I was accusing her of eating them on the way or something. I contacted DD to let them know I didn't get the chips and they gave me a credit toward my next purchase, which will never be used because they had their chance to impress me and they blew it.

Also every DD driver I've ever seen looks like a meth addict.

Yep .. I delivered pizza's in the early 90's .... the best, like you was almost 8 bucks, the guy gave me a 20 on a 12 something dollar order

the worst was a handful of change at 2300 on a Saturday Night some kids had scraped enough change together that barely covered the cost of the pizza

I don't know if it was The Five or Gutfeld, but they brought up how they're hating more and more of the "tip" culture.
I'm kind of pissed that there is an ever increasing sense of what minimum tip is sort of expected to be - in the 80's, a 10% tip was about right - easy to compute in my head because state tax was 5%, and I just doubled that.

Then it became 15%. Now, it's 18% and even that is fading - some places that are automated have 18 as the MINIMUM even mentioned.

Two things bother me even more about it -

One is - depending on the server but OFTEN, it's the age of the server - the service is so poor, it doesn't warrant a tip at all. They're rude or barely interested in serving you. They get the order wrong - more than once. They never return to check or refill your drink. They're not prompt and that's even when you're one of maybe two tables in their station. I have a relative who's been in the restaurant business for decades, and he's said, repeatedly - if it's mediocre food and great service or great food and mediocre or bad service - you'll come back for the service. Eating out is as much an experience as it is convenience.

Think of any place renowned for GREAT service - and you'll see what I mean.

Two is - they're asking for tips for just about anything. Tips for the cashier who takes your money for the takeout. Tips for the cashier at the donut place. The purpose of a tip is to reward good service - but it's increasingly being treated - especially by employees - as their DUE for simply doing their job.

If service sucks and continues this pattern - yeah, I'm in favor of eliminating tipping. You can reward good service by coming back.

I met a friend for lunch at Island Hideaway yesterday. I was surprised the bill came out with suggested tip at 20%, 22%, 25% and box for other where you could write your own amount in. Starting out at 20% I thought was kind of a steep start.

Be careful with that. They calculate those tips on the full amount of the bill, including tax.

 

[vraiblonde]

Tipping is not mandatory. You can leave whatever tip you want, or no tip at all. When there's a tip jar next to the cashier at the Wendy's, you are free to ignore it.

They put it there with a few seed bucks because the power of suggestion and false assimilation are powerful in humans. Like two checkout lanes open, one has a long line and the other is clear, and humans will gravitate toward the long line. A big enormous parking lot that's largely empty, and people will park right next to another vehicle instead of leaving space.

Everyone is doing it, so it must be better.

You can and should reject that kind of thinking. Most humans are idiots, so if you see them all doing something you should do something else. Don't be a cuddler. Cuddlers suck.

Also substandard servers don't get the message when you tip them. They think, "Hey, I'm making money at this thing so I'ma stay right here and keep tormenting these people." You should deprive them so they'll go find a job they're good at. It's a societal responsibility that benefits not only mankind, but the server as well.

Stop griping about what other people are doing, feeling like you have to do it too. Do your own thing, be your own person. Go placidly amid the noise and haste.
