The TikToker goes on to claim that in addition to his $1 tip, he made $2 from the delivery app. As he puts it, that’s not even enough to cover gas.

In a situation like this, who do we blame? The company not laying their workers a decent wage or the brokeys not tipping?

This is 100% on UberEats and the driver. You can't expect to run a business on a model that doesn't pay employees.

The idea of tipping before your food even gets delivered never made any sense.

People are poor tippers but company should also do better for the drivers.

Sidenote, how does he know how much he made from that delivery? I thought the apps consolidated the tips and paid it out at later date.

Ubereats for creating a system that allows that to happen to anyone on the clock in their name.

Most, if not all of these apps tell you how much you will make on a delivery as you accept it. Nobody forces you to take it.

Unrelated but I want to open a drive up food kitchen. Tired of these $12 meal becoming $27 by the time i’m through with taxes, tips, fees, etc.

Want to open a small shop kitchen with an all in cost for $10 a meal (pick up, no delivery options). it still shocks me i can’t easily find this as an option with the closest being going to like Whole Foods or something.

DoorDash kitchen is the closest to this but that’s still in the $13 to $18 range usually.

I always tip, but I blame the companies for not paying higher wages. we're already paying markups on the food, taxes and delivery fees, I can definitely see why some people don't tip or tip so little.

 

[160jordansdeep]

Maybe people should start picking up their own food if they don’t want to tip more

these guys are all over manhattan on bikes and in cars
their dangerous drivers so my heart doesn’t break on them getting $1.00 tips

So Drive-Thru?

The apps for sure, but theres also a lot of cheap customers.

When i make deliveries i dont accept a lot of trips because the fare is low and the trip is too long for that fare. I also decline mcdonalds orders.

Maybe he needs to lower his expectations ,*K Samuels voice*

This, but why am I paying all this if the drivers aren't being fairly compensated? Had an uber driver the other day that was only close by because he just quit the amazon grocery delivery, said it's not worth it.

Why decline Mcdonald orders?

 

[eracism]

I'm gonna assume he just wants a GoFundMe setup for him. Why would you accept a one hour trip with a $2 base pay only to cry in the whip later.

 

[ahat]

Why decline Mcdonald orders?

Because they call the drivers before the orders are ready. Waste of time waiting for an order thatll probably make you like $4, 5tops. Plus most customers ordering mcdonalds, or fast food in general, dont tip well in my experience. Same amount of time i spent waiting, then making that delivery i couldve got 2 others that were a bigger fare and possibly better tips. Especially if im in a surge area.

This is my biggest gripe. If you're gonna force me to tip before the service is even rendered, you're getting $2 lol. For Uber Eats/Door Dash, if you can get it to me reasonably fast and still hot, I'd have zero problem tipping a good amount if I was allowed to tip on actual service and not what I hope it'll be.

 

[whitemamba27]

not saying this is right but dont they see what the tip/pay of an order is before they accept it?

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

california failed to pass a law giving these workers more rights.

its on the consumer now to boycott these apps if they feel strongly enough

 

[ShoeGameBoss]

Homie gotta get a better job.

TikTok is a game changer

 

[tomdiginson]

I was looking into uber cause I was curious about how are they still operating considering that they keep saying it's not profitable and saw that after expenses, the company makes only $0.19 per transaction. Now, while I feel sorry for the drivers and I personally tip based on how quickly they deliver my food, Uber eats and these other food delivering platforms seem to be a freelance type gig. It's not meant to provide you with a consistent sustainable income. Some days are gonna be good and some are going to be bad. It seems that if you're a driver and work in one of the major cities, it seems you'll do better than someone who's working out of the boonies. And even then, you may still struggle.

Everyone involved

When you work for tips, you work for tips

Tipping should be built in automatically from the companies
