A delivery driver vented his outrage after being tipped just 10 per cent on a £90 food order – but others believe this is more than double than what they’d expect to be handed
A man has been left gobsmacked after his delivery driver complained about him leaving a disappointing tip. He explained how he ordered a meal from a high-end restaurant to be delivered to his house via DoorDash – and selected the option to tip on delivery.
Taking to Reddit, he said: “The restaurant is about 1.5 miles from my house, which is about a 10-minute drive if you hit all the reds. The order was for me and my wife, and it consisted of two entrees and an appetizer. When it was all said and done, the entire meal, including taxes and fees, was $115 (about £90).
“I chose the option for a handoff, left no tip, opting instead to write in the note section, ‘Cash tip upon handoff.’ Though I don’t use DoorDash often at all, I figured it’d be a good way to assure that the meal was delivered straight to me, being that it was from a higher-end restaurant.”
When the driver arrived, he accepted the bag of food before handing over a $10 ( about £7) tip – but he didn’t expect the driver to be “so rude” when accepting it. “He looked at the $10 bill and scoffed. I asked if there was a problem,” the man added. “He said something to the effect of, ‘$10 on a $100 order? That’s f***ed.’
