I drive for DoorDash, and $2 is absolutely a tip. Esp if the delivery is within a couple miles of the restaurant. Ideally I want to make $2+\mile driven, but for deliveries under a mile it’s not as much of an issue. Think about tipping more for longer distance orders.

We wouldn't have tipping if America wasn't so racist. The whole tip thing came from paying black waiters less.

I once was at a bar the night before new years eve. The bar was packed. I'm usually a pretty heavy tipper at the bar, but this night, the bartender taped signs to their back that said, "doesn't anyone know what 20% is?"

I closed my tab, tipped 0, and told the manager I stiffed their staff upstairs because they were being pricks.

The way to get better tips isn't being a dick about it

With that attitude, don't even worry about it. You won't need to count what I'll be giving you.

The person who wrote the original tweet doesn't leave any tip, guaranteed.

If the service is poor, I still leave a tip. A nickel ($0.05) is usually enough to let them know that you did not forget to tip, and that you felt $0.05 was all their poor service was worth.

Funny thing is most of that tip won't even make it to the waiter you're tipping.

I remember the days when tipping was just making sure that the person who did a favor for you that their job said they didn't have to do got some benefit/income out of doing it, as a thanks for that favor.

if food service sucks so bad, quit and do something else

People who forget it's not 2008 anymore: FIND NEW WORK? IMPOSSIBLE!!!
