So, we are assuming the pizza was $20. a 20% tip, which is still pretty standard, afaik, would be $4. WTF is this driver pissed about exactly?
Also, why the hell does anyone use these services? They take a huge commission from the restaurant, they don't pay their drivers living wage, shit is frequently wrong, or the driver is an ass. What benefit does this "service" actually offer because I can't see it.
I pretty much don't even use it anymore unless there's some emergency reason I can't leave the house. Paying for doordash is paying fancy restaurant prices for fast food.
Iirc, door dash likes to withhold some or all of the fee they pay the driver if the tip is equal to the fee. I forget exactly how it works, but unless you double the delivery fee, you may as well not tip.
All the more reason I ask why anyone uses these apps. It’s not good for the restaurant. It’s not good for the 1099 contractors (they aren’t employed by the delivery services same as Uber/lyft).
