It takes no more effort to deliver an $80 steak dinner than a $20 McDonald's dinner yet for one a tip of $16 is expected and for the other a tip of $4. Assuming both restaurants are the same distance from the customer's home, why are we tipping based on the price of the meal instead of the effort of delivery?
Tipping should be banned.
In the meantime, most delivery folk and servers struggle to get by--so I tip as generously as I can.
@tyghebright Exactly as the video stated to do. 🥰 @divisionbyzero
@divisionbyzero because waitstaff and back-of-house are chronically and grossly underpaid, and the whole economy of food preparation is based on competence and skill. Those that work at top restaurants have earned bigger tips.
@wyrmeboi For restaurants, yes, but I'm specifically talking about food delivery drivers such as DoorDash and UberEats. Why are we tipping based on the price of the food when the effort involved is the same to get food from point A and deliver it to point B?
@divisionbyzero I dont do less than a dollar a mile for delivery on food. other things Ill consider .80 to the mile
@divisionbyzero
Why are we tipping at all? We are tipping because it makes us feel good while it is undermining the employee's ability to make a living wage. The more we tip, the less these businesses have to pay their people. We have got to stop this tipping insanity
