![]() ![]() However, in the gig economy, that $5 tip often means the driver is terribly underpaid. Here's my brief take: From a traditional standpoint, a five-dollar tip for $20 worth of food is more than adequate. ![]() It's also unfair to you (assuming you're a customer). It's a messed up system that's not fair to drivers like me. In the end, the delivery companies are the issue. But we're not the problem for each other. For the driver, it's a question of total compensation.Ĭustomers and Dashers are getting mad at each other over the issue. For the customer, it's a question of tipping. How do you know what the right amount is to tip?Īs someone who has delivered for companies like Doordash, Uber Eats, Grubhub and others for several years, I feel like there are actually two different conversations happening here. That has sparked a discussion about how much is enough and whether Dashers are too demanding. After 15 miles, the order will not be fulfilled because gas is way too high and delivery services for food don't travel that far.How much should I tip on Doordash? Is $5.00 enough? Is it too little?Ī video recently went viral when a Doordash driver cussed out a customer because their five dollar tip was too low. It can even be pre-determined in the app via filling out a form of minimum amount required per mile, up till 15 miles away. If no one is in distance for a certain price point, the customer will know right away. Maybe even let doordashers type in the wage they will accept for delivering certain distances ahead of time. Let these cheap bastards raise the price until a fair wage is established. They will never see me unless I am already delivering food to someone else within a mile of their house.ĭoordash should act like a broker and tell customers when their order is being refused because their pay for tip is too low. The other 99% are cheap, lazy pos who don't mind asking you to type in a security code to get to the second story of their trash apartment building because they are too lazy to even meet you to pick up there 0 tip, $2 order. You should be going to the grocery store and making it. If you don't have enough money to tip, maybe you shouldn't be ordering food. People who don't tip shouldn't get deliveries. Since this is, most likely, an attempt to get more no-tip offers delivered it will NOT be beneficial to most any dasher to accept this program. It isn't like DD is going to pay us OT unless the government were to step in. My tips would be a lot lower because I would have to accept a lot of no-tip offers. Sure seems like 12.50 per hour would mean more money, right? Maybe you are thinking my total earnings would be 534.37+693=1227.37. If I divided my active time DoorDash pay by 42.75 hrs that comes to 11.88 per hour. That 12.50 to 14$ per hour would be for your "active time". Rolling out a program like this means that us dashers are doing a good job of sending a clear message to DoorDash about their culture of cheap, money losing, offers. It isn't your job and it isn't my job to accept offers that we are going to lose money on. Having a program like this makes it apparent that there is a brewing problem getting low ball offers accepted and delivered. You still get the customer tips but, everyone knows the motivation behind this is to get more base pay runs delivered. Someone correct me if I am wrong on that, thanks. You also can't decline more than 2 jobs per hour, I believe. I am seeing various reports of 12.50 to 14$ per hour based on your "active time". A lot of you may be on the fence if it is running in your market.ġ203.62 total earnings. ![]() I know a lot of dashers already know it isn't a good idea. ![]()
