I ordered Taco Bell on DoorDash, tipped $5, and when I opened the bag there was a note inside that said “5$? You go to hell!!” Like…what? Bro, you dropped off a chalupa and a crunch wrap supreme, not a kidney transplant.
Let’s do the math. My order was about $10. I tipped half the total, 50%, for someone to drive less than 15 minutes and drop off a bag on my doorstep. That’s more than fair. But apparently we’ve reached the point where $5 is considered offensive.
So tell me, what exactly are we tipping for now? These apps already charge a service fee, a delivery fee, tax, and an unexplained “processing fee”. We’re one step away from paying a “thank you” fee just for existing.
If $5 for a $10 dollar meal sends you into a rage, maybe delivery isn’t the right job. I didn’t realize I was supposed to cover your rent for handing me a taco.
