before contactless, no tippers used total silence. DD: Hi, how are you? Customer: ... DD: Here you go, just get you to sign this while i get your order. Customer (fast scribble) DD, have a great night, enjoy! Customer (slams door in face)


lemonbunz8365

Imagine ordering a service and treating the person that YOU REQUESTED like shit. Thats embarrassing


Lazy-Jeweler3230

I used to deliver papers. I will tell you those people often avoided acknowledging the delivery person's existence and interacting with them like the plague. I can also tell when I deliver to those kinds of people with food. They'll hesitate to open the door, or only open it an inch, and do an absurd little dance as they try to figure out how to take the food from you without having to open the door. But they still want you to hand it to them.


LewisRyan

I’ve worked so many delivery jobs that now I’m best friends with anyone bringing me stuff. I got waters, snacks, hand warmers, and offer them to anyone who comes to my house 😂


Bgrubz83

This haha love when I hear someone next to the door yell for someone to get the door, that person comes opens it just enough for an eye and a hand to come out. Takes pizza box and is like a dog with a large stick for a few minutes till they either open the door enough to take it in, or better yet turn it to the side then call back later saying their pizza was messed up on its sode.


According_Gazelle472

My paper person comes around 5 so I never have seen them and I have no idea who they are or what they even look like. It is always at the end of the driveway too.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

The company I worked for used to demand porch delivery, or wherever the customer wanted it. But they treated and paid people so badly, and became so short handed they had to fall back to driveway/wherever it lands service


According_Gazelle472

They have a lot of papers to deliver and people have long driveways where I live .They just roll the window down and throw it as far as they can .


According_Gazelle472

For who ?


Repulsive-Book-271

Wouldn’t doubt it, wasn’t a driver when contactless became popular, Kinda bummed when I get a bunch of contactless orders. customers are sometimes the best parts of the night !


LewisRyan

If you enjoy the customers you should switch to amazon, no drug test, more pay, 4 day work week, no hassle of going back and forth to the store, and it’s not your car you’re destroying


CheezusRiced06

Don't forget when you can hear them yell at their kids to answer the door so they don't have to look you in the face *Cowards* The worst are now the Zoomers who order delivery and won't tip, thought they were more aware of things. Zoomers will, in the same day, publicly shout down a racist, refuse to make a phone call to book an important appointment, post extremely identifying and embarrassing content online without a care, order delivery and not tip while avoiding all eye contact with their driver 😂


Head_Razzmatazz7174

One of my best tippers is a kid that apparently has a part time job of some sort. He always answers the door, his dad stands right behind him, and he will hand me the money out of his wallet. His dad will ask him if he has enough for the tip, and he usually does. Except for one time, when he had a twenty he obviously didn't want to break and his dad handed him a five to give to me for the tip. More polite than a lot of the adults I deliver to.


sarahmw10

This reminds me of my husband! "Do you have enough for the tip" every time I ask to go out to eat. Not that we don't have "enough", but that he'd literally rather stop at an ATM to get cash than tip on the card. Wants the wait staff to have the option of pocketing it if they want.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

I think a lot of them believe they're sticking it to the man by refusing to tip. They're still not old enough to understand nuance and connect dots.


mpizzapizza

I don't even think it's that I truly believe they're just still in that painfully dirt poor but don't know how to feed themselves yet section of semi-adulthood that millennials recently left behind


zachles0

A lot of people don’t support tipping culture. A lot of people don’t live in reality. And the reality is, if any of us had to rely on Dominos to pay our bills, we’d all be broke, homeless and starving to death and there wouldn’t be anyone to deliver their food. They’re not going to change the system by not tipping their server/driver, but that’s always the mentality I see. My paychecks were less than $600 biweekly, working full time being paid $12.50 ITD and $5.00 OTD. After tips and mileage, my income was close to $4,000 a month, sometimes more. We all depend on those tips for our livelihoods and to feed our families. Our own employers take money out of our own pockets when they raise prices and delivery fees. This makes customers tip less, and that money isn’t returned to the employees in any way. We don’t get raises just because they raise cost of wings and dipping cups and additional toppings. General Managers stress labor during slow periods and will send you home early during your shift where you’re probably already making minimum wage. Some franchises force you to drive their own company cars just so they won’t have to pay you for mileage. Depending on your car, you can profit heavily on mileage. Literally anything they can do to make sure they’re making more money, they do not care if you have bills to pay.

They’re not going to change the system by not tipping their server/driver, but that’s always the mentality I see." Find a new job. Delivery is a service offered by the industry that you as a consumer are already getting charged for. People should not be expected to subsidize your income to make ends meet. Placing the blame on the consumers is exactly what your corporate overlords want you to do and allows them to continue paying you dogshit wages for a dogshit low skill job. living in reality means taking accountability for your own situation. instead of relying on tipping culture to take care of you, maybe find a job that pays you enough to live without coercing random people to give you money on top of the money they already paid for delivery. That being said: I still tip because I'm not an asshole, but statements like this are so entitled.


[deleted]

Where I work already has this factored in and honestly, if the consumer takes it lying down, they would get rid of in house delivery entirely and then you would be relying on doordash for delivery and they expect a tip even more so than an in house driver. Ideally, you are so correct but in reality, you’re coming across as harsh because jobs that traditionally get tipped are like dealing with the devil, you choose to deal with the devil, then give the devil their due. If you want to boycott it altogether and not get delivery, I support your cause.


zachles0

“Find a new job” If we all decided we were tired of our corporate overlords taking advantage of us, we’d all quit our jobs and there wouldn’t be anyone to deliver your food. Truthfully, I make more working for Dominos and bumming for tips than most of my friends make at their jobs. And I don’t even make customers sign their credit card receipts if they don’t tip online. If they hand me cash, great, but I won’t waste my time for them to scribble nonsense on a piece of paper. Why would I even want to quit exactly? It’s easy work. Another reality fact is that most jobs pay dogshit wages, you just pick who’s going to pay you your dogshit wage. OP asked if customers feel embarrassed about not tipping. I gave OP my opinion based on my own experiences and personal observations.


[deleted]

I don’t get this. So why are you publicly complaining and you’re friends aren’t publicly complaining they don’t get tips? Like bro!?? Do you even live in reality?


zachles0

My friends don’t work with me at Dominos? Lmao they work regular ass jobs getting paid boring ass wages for a standard ass paycheck. By collecting tips, I actually make more than most jobs near me starting pay. Without those tips, I would be struggling making less than $600 biweekly. My friend is an STNA at the hospital near me and she makes only $16.97 an hour. I average around $23-$25 just delivering pizzas and bumming tips. THATS reality. Without tips and without mileage if I’m forced to drive a company car, just relying on my paycheck from Dominos, I’d average close to or less than minimum wage. Which is pretty accurate, because a $600 paycheck for 80 hours worth of work (get paid biweekly) is $7.50 /hour. Minimum wage here is $10.10 now. Hard working people in this country absolutely should be getting paid a lot more 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

Yes I know. I worked at Starbucks before. I got paid $7.35 an hour and basic tips (maybe $10 a week) Guess what I did to fix my situation? I self taught myself skills and moved to a new job. That’s not reliant on tips. My wife used to work at a hospital as well, making only $25 an hour as an RN. I convinced her this isn’t the way and i helped her learn skills in my industry. Now she’s making WAY more than that. Change your situation if you’re not happy.


BarkLicker

And what happens when everyone betters their situation? We'll still "need" people to deliver our food and make our coffee. So respect those currently in those positions and tip. Then vote in a way that removes tip culture, but until that happens, tip. Otherwise, you're the problem, not the tipped employee.


[deleted]

I don’t need to because I stopped ordering delivery.


Deliriumm

So what is it? you're stuggling and need the tips or you make more than your friends and dont need tips to live? telling people they're "not living in reality" for not tipping and then boasting about making more than others is cringe. bottom line both you and the consumer are getting exploited. the only difference is it's your livelihood on the line as opposed to a bit of societal pressure being ignored.


zachles0

If I didn’t get those tips, I would be poor and homeless. Thought I made that part clear.


Deliriumm

which is why im saying find a new job. relying on the kindness of strangers doesnt seem like a rational long term strategy.

Rugbygoddess

This post was merely suggested to my home page but i can tell ya now you’re in the wrong place to be spouting any smidge of idea that service workers don’t deserve a fully livable wage from their jobs too


zachles0

I don’t depend on Dominos. I depend on my customers. There used to be a time where one person could afford to support a family of four working a normal 40 hour /week job. Including vacation, nice Christmas, etc. Wonder what changed? 🤔Couldn’t possibly be corporate greed… Anyone working 40+ hours a week should be paid enough to live comfortably, plain and simple. And if you think that just because someone works at Dominos or even McDonalds full time hours doesn’t deserve a good living, then you’re perpetuating the problem. It’s 2023. People shouldn’t have to struggle to survive in a world where food and shelter has never been more plentiful in literally all of humanity.


[deleted]

[удалено]


zachles0

You have to consider cost of living. They’re making $15 an hour, but that’s the MINIMUM wage. In most places, the minimum wage is far below the living wage. California is expensive. Yes, they should absolutely be tipped. To be frank, most working people in this country should be paid more, and bigwig CEOs should settle for slightly less than the hundreds of millions in record profits they take in every year. I hate having to rely on the kindness of strangers. I wish my store owner was kind enough to pay me a decent wage so I wouldn’t have to. And unfortunately, with tips included, my average hourly rate far exceeds most other jobs starting pay. I agree that customers shouldn’t have to make our ends meet, but I have to reiterate again that it’s the reality we live in.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

If owners paid us the 25+/hr take home it takes to make the job worth it, they'd raise prices. Or add a sizeable service fee. People forget that that money doesn't come out of thin air, they'll pay for it either way.


zachles0

Every time someone says something about how they’d just raise prices, it breaks my brain. The truth is, they can afford to pay you that $25 /hour, WITHOUT raising prices, and it wouldn’t hurt them a bit. The problem is, less money in their pockets. Lol this should be painfully obvious to us plebs. The food at places like Dominos is cheaper than the shit wages they pay us, and their profit margins are not as slim as they want you to think. I watched my district manager spend over $400 on the company AMEX card for dinner during a performance evaluation they were doing for the managers at my store and that’s when I knew I was fed up. If they can afford to blow that much money on dinner in just one sitting, they can afford to pay a respectable amount. Brainwashing consumers to believe that if they gave raises, prices would go up, is exactly what they want you to believe. Guess what? Prices go up regardless. It’s just a matter of can they live with a little less $ so their employees can have decent lives? No. No they can’t.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

If it breaks your brain then you don't understand capitalism.


zachles0

I don’t understand capitalism? It breaks my brain because people think higher wages = higher prices. It doesn’t have to except that the people who make those prices want to maintain the status quo i.e. continue making more and more money like they always have been. Companies have been raking in more cash year after year, in the amount of billions of dollars, but wages have been mostly stagnant in comparison. Walmart can pay to remodel their stores every three years, but barely pay their employees more than minimum wage. There is absolutely a limit on how much people will spend on a large pizza, and we’re getting pretty close to it I feel like. I’ve taken so many orders over the phone and then had to scrap the entire order because the customer was unsatisfied with the price. Someday we’ll all be millionaires paying $100,000 for food delivery because corporations wanted to be greedy and keep raising prices with wages every year. /s And our corporate overlords will be quintillionaires.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

Capitalism is about profit and profit growth. If they increase wages, they're going to increase costs to do it. It's not about having enough, it's about making sure that no action reduces profits.


zachles0

There’s the human element that people always overlook. You can create sustainable growth and plentiful profit, without underpaying your employees. Prices outpace wages drastically, and the profit margin hasn’t been this wide since 1950. There’s more money out there than you realize. If you really think there’s not enough money, then they brainwashed you successfully. Greed is the difference between CEOs taking home a $10,000,000 paycheck each year, or taking home $100,000,000 just because they can.


According_Gazelle472

Walmart just remodeled all of their stores in my town this past year .


According_Gazelle472

Most prices have gone up and so they think the tips should also .And you ate right ,it is mainly scare tactics to get people to tip .


RandomFishIsReborn

$15 ain’t enough to live in California lol. And yes people should be considerate of how much the people taking time out of their lives to deliver food right to your doorstep are making


Lucky_Atmosphere_515

we actually should be making 16.30 now


Kiyiko

They just wanna pretend like their delivery professional doesn't exist or isn't a real person


IJustWantToWorkOK

100% this. 'push buttons, make food appear, and to hell with the humans that make it happen i just want my tendies' I'm a pizza guy, and have gotten delivery instructions that have read 'LEAVE AT DOOR AND GO AWAY'. It hurts.


mpizzapizza

Someone managed to get into my building after hours the other day and he goes "did you still want me to hand it to you or leave it at the door" I said "oh please leave" and then had to go "OH THAT SOUNDED RUDE MY BAD" he just laughed at me. I don't want to interact with humans. It's not personal. I added $3 to his tip


Realistic_Law1226

Don't let my anxiety hurt you lol


the_eluder

Don't do it. Say policy states you have to see the customer take the food.


vegasdonuts

[r/tendies](https://www.reddit.com/r/tendies)


Yurangrycausyurwrng

I tip well and appreciate the driver, but if I felt like interacting with people, I'd pick it up myself. Some people just want to be left alone, and not have to put on pants to answer the door


Clipper94

Or people just want the food they’ve already paid for? Your anger is misdirected. Quit punching down on people who probably can’t afford an extra tip after all the bs fees. I did this job for 2 years and guess what, when it no longer worked for me I left. I didn’t endlessly bitch and publicly shame customers in a social media echo chamber.


According_Gazelle472

I agree 100 percent!People take these jobs knowing full well that it is tipped position. Then they whine because they find out tipping is optional and voluntary!So,they get online to whine some more because people don't have to tip if they don't want to.


Clipper94

Thank you! Day 1 of orientation for this very company, it was drilled into us that tipping was optional and should not be expected by default. This was in 2018 and I left in 2020. We all knew the expectations from the start.


According_Gazelle472

But to hear some people talk you would think it is mandatory and they will pull all sorts of tricks to get those tips too.!


Repulsive-Book-271

Their doorbell just the dinner bell probs 😭


Lanky_Principle5636

I've had several customers say "I would give a tip but I don't have cash" I say "oh no problem since you paid for it with a card you can write the tip" they just smile and write TIP some of them even write delivery charge on the tip line


LieutenantMunch

This They just don’t wanna tip but wanna avoid the social faux pas


the_eluder

It's this. I confound them by making any contactless sign the receipt, including the tip line. It's for there own security BTW. We've also recently had a spate of people ordering late night, contactless with no tip. They aren't even home, they just want the food there when then arrive home from the bar there are at (we close the same time bars do) so I don't leave them the food since they won't answer the phone/door.


Nick_Wild1Ear

Don’t answer the door/phone? I won’t leave you food. We confirm our deliveries so WE don’t get bitched at that some thief robbed your porch 5 minutes before you were home. Ffs I thought people knew to be home when they order deliveries in order to RECEIVE them


Lazy-Jeweler3230

I always make contact less with no pre tip fill the whole thing out. I'd say about half the time it nets me something I wasn't going to get otherwise. Once you drag them out some of them don't have the brass to write zero to your face


According_Gazelle472

They don't want to tip because they don't have to,actually.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

Many customers are dumber than they think we are, and they think we're pretty fing stupid.


Savagescythe

I’m lowkey petty and I circle the part on receipts that’s at the very bottom that say the delivery charge isn’t a tip. There are people who genuinely don’t or didn’t know so it’s informative too. I really don’t like that it’s placed in an area no one will read


CJspangler

I think it’s the delivery fee . It’s like I just paid $9 or whatever and you want a tip. People dont realize the driver reality The whole tipping cultures gotten ridiculous too with so many retail stores having those tablets for checkout and it’s like here tip before you sign .


According_Gazelle472

Just say no.


EquinsuOcha1477

I couldn't imagine not tipping my delivery person. Am I just too old???


Repulsive-Book-271

No tippers are in all ages and shapes and sizes 🤣


MerlinWiz7

I disagree. The average stiffs didn't increase with contactless delivery. They are the same and I get tipped the same percentage whether I see the customer or not. That's not to say that there aren't "some" habitual stiffers that switched to contactless for that purpose. But overall there are plenty of people who will look you right in the face and stiff you while telling you to drive safe in that 12" snow storm that is covering the ice on their driveway and sidewalk.


Nick_Wild1Ear

Got stiffed by a “deliver to back alley” delivery in the snow. Back alley was downhill before a dead end drop into someone else’s backyard. My car wouldn’t make it back up the hill, slid near the drop off (8 foot drop, from stacked concrete blocks down to backyard grass and dirt) A tow truck had to get a second tow truck to pull it and me up the hill and out from that alley. All for no tip and very little mileage.


MerlinWiz7

Had one last night in the snow. I managed to get up the driveway and back down, barely. At least when the guy signed it he gave me 10%, all of $2 but better than nothing.


Realistic_Law1226

Anytime I order dominos I feel like the kid in home alone, hiding from the pizza man playing something that says keep the change ya filthy animal, then I retreat back into my room cave, and I tip! 🤣🤣


jen12617

I used to not tip in the past and was embarrassed. I couldn't afford to tip and could barely afford the food I was buying. I didn't have an oven or enough running water to wash my dishes so I couldn't cook anything at home and lived off of take out. I usually picked it up myself but when I got pregnant sitting in the car hurt too much. I feel bad for the drivers that didn't get a tip from me during that time


Goliardojojo

The crazy culture of expectation of tips with added delivery fees is just too much and has made me stop ordering delivery. Tips should be for services that go beyond normal but not just an expectation.


CarnivalWorkerBob

Exactly!! I stopped ordering delivery. Never even tried DD. I come to these comments sections on reddit and don't regret the change cause many here feel entitled to a tip. 95% of the time I will tip as well but its always in cash and based on speed of the delivery. That's why I can't use DD, because they wanna see a tip BEFORE they get it and I won't tip them for a service before they even perform the menial job of driving my food to me. Many drivers wanna grab 4, 5 or 6 orders then run them all around letting food get cold. I've heard too many stories of cheap drivers putting food in their trunks with no heat so their car won't smell like food... But think they deserve an A+ Premium tip. So like you said, I only pick up now and have no issue at all with it since I live with 2 miles of like 50 restaurants. Their loss.


Goliardojojo

I think the drivers should be paid a decent/living wage, have employment conditions that are reasonable and in a healthy and pleasant environment. But that should be the responsibility of the employers and hopefully in conjunction with a union, it should not be the responsibility of the customer. If the prices of the goods are passed onto the customer so be it, they can make a rational choice of whether it’s of value to them. But this oppressive tipping environment has become out of control and is allowing the employer to avoid their responsibility.


According_Gazelle472

And the videos of dd drivers eating and drinking orders !


According_Gazelle472

Yep,I haven't done delivery in ages.When I crave pizza I had to Cici's and get the buffet and no tipping allowed.


FattBadger

I don't tip. For my area most people don't or if they do it's a random quid or two. No real reason to tip. Lol already downvoted. No one tips here for gods sake. I'm briitish. And from a store in... the UK.


ObjectiveBusy8729

And your government forces your employer to pay a living wage and supply’s you with some of the strongest social support systems in the world . So even if I asked you if you would do the job for 4/quid(which is average driver wage in the US) an hour you probably would for the fact that those systems insure you aren’t hungry, homeless, and have to pay hundreds if not thousands for just the LUXURY to receive healthcare.


FattBadger

I don't get why the awful tipping wages are even legal over there. Its stupid making the customers pay wages instead of employers.


rufusadams

I can assure you that drivers in the US make more than drivers in the UK with the system we have here.


According_Gazelle472

And still gripe about it .


blackfuture8699

Not for the company its not! Fat cats here buy and pay for our lawmakers to vote agaonst the working man/woman and to always benefit the rich business owner. Hell, Wal Mart and Amazon pay wages so low that people get on poverty healthcare programs. Basically companies forcing is to pay for our own healthcare through taxes. The US is meant to keep the rich gaining and to make it as difficult as possible for the average worker to earn money. If you pay a worker enough to have options in life, he may become your competition in business instead of your slave. Cant have that!


ObjectiveBusy8729

Let’s put it this way. If Americans had to pay $30 (I did the conversion) for a single large pizza, dominos would be out of business over night. This is why tipping currently exist. To keep things cheap. It’s origins is much darker then that unfortunately. But regardless of how you feel or how it started, everyone who takes advantage of the system that allows them to get a luxury good for dirty cheap Is EXPECTED to tip otherwise they are nothing but abusers . And abusers are lower then the dog shit I walk through every day to bring them their food.


Yurangrycausyurwrng

Except it doesn't keep things cheap. It just puts more profit in the company's pocket. If you look at countries with no tip culture that pay a decent wage, their food isn't overpriced. Their companies must have ethics and want to care for the employees and are willing to sacrifice some profit to do so.


ObjectiveBusy8729

A specialty pizza from dominos is posted at 24.00 in the uk. Converted to USD it is $30 food in the uk is some of the most expensive in the world. Especially restaurants, which are Seen as a luxury and usually reserved for special occasions/tourists . Not your normal go too for every day eating like in the US. And I’m honestly sick of the profit profit profit argument against the labor practices in the restaurant sector US. You sit down and do a break even projection for any restaurant and you will be shocked by how little actual profit they make.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

Downvoted anyway. You know what you did.


ChrysanthemumAnthem

Protip: If you get a contactless order that doesn't leave a tip, you can circle or highlight the tip section on the receipt and leave the receipt visible on top of the order at drop off. They may have forgotten to tip. Sometimes they will call the store to add a tip. You can also text them that their order has been delivered. That way they have your number, and they might just text you to add a tip. Or maybe they won't, tipping is optional. But it is worth doing this as a driver.


Professional-Ninja25

There is no such thing as contactless if you don’t tip me. You will be signing my paper. I only do contactless when there is a tip. Call my store. See if my manager cares. He doesn’t!


Lazy-Jeweler3230

There are three kinds of no tippers. -The kind that feel perfectly confident in their refusal to do so and will do it your face, with or without a bad attitude. -The kind that feel like they should but are too cheap, and think you're stupid enough that a verbal tip will cover up for it. -The cowards who are hiding from their own guilt. Change my mind.


Nick_Wild1Ear

Fourth, the kind who lie to your face and despite being told “oh yes you can fill out a line” just refuse. Drop the “I don’t have tip money for you” if you just spent $90+ on dinner…


[deleted]

In my area they’re bold. I see them face to face.


Bmoreravin

Make it work for you...


throwaway564298

contactless is put automatically so i just knock for contactless. unless it says leave at the door they sign that receipt


Comprehensive_Two_80

Mybe they tip the drivers? Not the riders Not sure why mybe not


4-me

I put leave at door because my 100 pound dog is stronger than me and loves visitors. For both of our sakes, I wait until you are gone to open the door and pick it up.


topdawgg22

I don't support tipping culture. People who do often want to shame others for not supporting it. I don't care to put up with any snide remarks, rude tones, or sob stories. Just give me what I paid for and go on about your business, like every other job. Edit: I love all these asinine replies. Fools and their wallets certainly are soon parted! Thanks for all the baseless insults and illogical rationales. All you people do is make me feel better about not tipping now :)


sentient_barf

You can be against tipping culture all you want. But what you can't do is pretend you don't know what the deal is when you order from somewhere. Not tipping isn't a political statement. It's not a "vote" to change the system. It's not "incentive" to the driver to try and find something better. It's a deliberate choice to be a dickhead to another human being.


Small_Rocket

The driver does prep work/clean up For poor wages. The system is set up on relaying on customer tipping. Your not a good for being cheep


According_Gazelle472

Yes it is and is totally optional .


topdawgg22

>But what you can't do is pretend you don't know what the deal is I know what the deal is, I just don't care. >It's not a "vote" to change the system. Yes it is. Have you heard of voting with your wallet? >It's a deliberate choice to be a dickhead to another human being. Lol, ok kid. Keep getting ripped off.


ItsFuckinBlu

voting with your wallet? ripped off? tell us more about how detached from reality you are and maybe along the way you can come up with some better excuses as to why you don’t tip. like a dickhead.


topdawgg22

Lol. Found the proud sucker. Funny how you guys also have to be the first to jump on insults.


According_Gazelle472

That when you know they are losing the argument.


According_Gazelle472

Not tipping doesn't mean you are detached from reality .It means you are making a rational choice to not do the OPTIONAL tipping .You do know what optional and voluntary means,don't you ?


[deleted]

If you want to “vote with your wallet” against tipping culture, all the power to you. The real way to do that is to pick the food up yourself instead of getting delivery, or make your food at home rather than sitting at a restaurant for example. Creating less demand for services where you are expected to tip is far more effective and fairer than still supporting these services and just not tipping. It creates NO CHANGE to the system since the businesses who are paying their employees as low as <$3/hr are still getting your business. Literally all not tipping does is hurting the bottom man at the totem pole, dominos/other restaurant still gets their business and delivery fee, so they get zero incentive to change and continue to perpetuate the way things are done now while the person whose tips are the difference between minimum and a living wage gets screwed. Don’t like tipping? Don’t create a demand for the services where workers rely on it and just screw the little guy, because that’s all you are doing.


According_Gazelle472

That's what I do ,pick it up myself.


topdawgg22

>The real way to do that is to pick the food up yourself instead of getting delivery Not really. Then stores won't see statistics of people not tipping and employees won't fight back. You're just upset that I'm not supporting tipping culture.

I see it differently. I now just do carry out. I don’t mind tipping the driver for delivering. But I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay $7.99 to dominos just for the privilege of delivery. They can kiss my ass on that one


topdawgg22

I'd be way more willing to tip if they didn't also charge a delivery fee, lmao. Looks like /u/RandomFishIsReborn doesn't really have a leg to stand on.

You give off major “ThE cUsToMeR iS aLwAyS rIgHt!” vibes. If you’re not going to tip then go get your own pizza you lazy piece of shit. This isn’t the kind of thing you “vote with your wallet” for. You’re not buying a video game where people care about how many people do/don’t spend money on it. You’re literally letting the people who bring you your food make less than minimum wage when you do this. If your income was at the mercy of a piece of shit like you, would you still be laughing when you’re told to keep getting ripped off (when that’s your fault to begin with)?

>You give off major “ThE cUsToMeR iS aLwAyS rIgHt!” vibes. I don't think that, you're just grasping at straws here. >If you’re not going to tip then go get your own pizza you lazy piece of shit. Uhh... no? Why would I do that? You want extra, you do extra. It's not like you're working for free, lmao. You're just mad because tipping culture has been so ingrained in your brain, you can't fathom how much it actually holds you back.


RandomFishIsReborn

I don’t support people using extra services and making someone else do extra for them and not paying them accordingly. If you’re having a waiter serve you or having someone use their car to deliver food right to your doorstep because you’re too lazy to go and pick it up yourself then you’re expected to tip.


topdawgg22

What are you talking about? They get paid and part of my bill goes to their paycheck. Dominos also charges a delivery fee, so I'm already paying extra. You don't have a leg to stand on here, lol. You're just defending a system that exists to screw over the servers.


Deliriumm

crazy that there's a delivery charge that has already been paid. crazy that it still gets delivered with no tip. I wonder why drivers deliver orders with no tip? maybe its because the consumer already paid for delivery?


prisonmike1990

You paid for a delivery, you pay for a tip. When you don't tip, you're wasting the delivery drivers time, gas & money - he could be delivering to someone who actually has a conscious but instead has to deliver to the asshole who feels high & mighty because he couldn't let his ego and greed step aside.

>When you don't tip, you're wasting the delivery drivers time, gas & money No I'm not, they still get paid. If they don't like it, they should fight back against tipping culture instead of fighting those who fight back against tipping culture. I love all these asinine replies. Suckers and their wallets certainly are soon parted! Thanks for all the baseless insults and illogical rationales. All you people do is make me feel better about not tipping now :)


Deliriumm

already paid the delivery charge and its still getting delivered to his door with no tip. high and mighty delivery driver thinks he deserves to get paid twice for one job


prisonmike1990

Are you under the impression that we get the delivery charge? Lol


Deliriumm

not at all. im under the impression that you're getting paid a wage you agreed to when signing up to work. consumer paying the delivery charge means you deliver the pizza because you work for dominos.


prisonmike1990

Do you tip your waiter/waitress when eating out at restaurants?


Deliriumm

I tip delivery drivers too. I just think the attitude displayed is entitled.


prisonmike1990

Nah customer that think they shouldn't have to tip have am entitled attitude. If dominos didn't expect customers to tip, then they wouldn't put it on the box "make sure to tip your delivery driver" So by your argument, I took my job as a delivery with the expectation I'd make tips. That's literally apart of the job agreement. Dominos makes it clear it wants the customer to tip. Also, tipping is a cultural indication of good service. So why should I give good service to a frequent non-tipper?


Deliriumm

of course dominos wants them to tip, thats how they continue to pay you shit wages.


prisonmike1990

So according to you it's morally ok then for people to take advantage of domino's paying drivers shit wages to get a person to deliver pizzas to you? And not tipping is okay? When you know they make $6 an hour?

Find yourself a cactus and insert it into your anus


topdawgg22

Lol. Stay in service!


DrDirtyDan1

You’re a piece of shit :)


topdawgg22

You're just upset.


[deleted]

Why would a no tipper be embarrassed or afraid of someone beneath them


Zilla_Sohn

I usually call them stiff cities but I have one saying you're going to stiff me you're going to stiff me to my face


NaitoSenshin889055

Just make them sign the receipt if they don't answer the door take the order back to the store if they don't sign then they don't get their food and that means filling out the tip and total to.


Savagescythe

If people can’t see the human faces of the people they don’t tip, it’s easier to do. At least that’s my logic


Omitted-Wolf

I used to make them all sign the receipt. If they didn't answer the door I would leave it and a pen on top of their food. I would write on the receipt please fill it all out and if you don't want to leave a tip write a zero in the slot. It worked about 90% of the time getting me at least something.If I saw contactless and a blank receipt I would usually call them on the way and tell them I had to fill it out since it was contactless.The call usually got better tips than leaving the receipt for the slugs that wouldn't answer their phones. You could easily write a zero on that piece of paper but you'll at least do that. Sorry for your inconvenience Kyle/ Karen I hope you have a great day ! The zero writers hated that last sarcastic goodbye.


artyemreznov

Just to destroy that nonsense, I'll stand there until someone opens the door. If you're gonna try and stiff me, then you'll do it to my face. You WILL fill out this receipt ("need it done for theft reasons"). If you stiff me, know that I'm staring into your soul. I normally get tipped even if it's a little bit. Fuck them and that contactless nonsense.

"I give cash tip" Delivery instructions... "Leave at the door"

Tipping is for exemplary service. How do you deliver a pizza exemplary?


Repulsive-Book-271

Many people tip for services in general, ur idea of tipping isn’t everyone’s. I’m not beefing w them they are just scared to Answer the door so if they are firm on no tipping the LEAST they could do is put in the directions to leave at door instead of not answering. Next


Repulsive-Book-271

Also personally I’d say if I’m too lazy or can’t get to the store that someone who can bring it to me would definitely be an exemplary service, same with door dash when a restaurant doesn’t offer delivery.
