(yeah i know leftbook is generally bad and no i didn't expect anything better but still)

Yes, employers should be paying delivery drivers way more instead of other working-class people making up the difference. Yes, the US system of tipping and the fact that service workers rely so heavily on tips is fucked up. No, that doesn't give you an excuse to not tip the person who's bringing you your treats.

Multiple people called this meme "ableist" and "classist" :agony-shivering: and even more are saying "delivery driving's way easier than making the food and sometimes they deliver it to the wrong place!!! so they don't deserve to be paid more!"!!

If your arguments sound exactly the same as a chud's, you are not a leftist, you are a propaganda mouthpiece for billionaires that would love to see you drop dead. Shut the actual fuck up you PMC radlib swine. /rant

    As a delivery driver, I'll just say I don't make hourly. Just a delivery fee, usually about $4, which depending on the restaurant is split with them, and tip. I average 1 or so stiffs a shift.

    Going tip rate in delivery seems to be 10%.

    Rich people, ie big houses in nice neighborhoods, tend to be to worst tippers, so feel free to have your biases confirmed yet again because it's true.

    I get to listen to podcasts and music all the time though, so that ain't bad.

    Thanks for the post though, I'm sure there are some extenuating circumstances where some poor person needs to get their food delivered and can't tip, but the vast majority of times it's just gotta be easier to pick up or make your own, and cheaper too. Motherfuckers getting a big mac delivered is wild tho

      Plus some services have tried to take tips. I hope you don't have to deal with that, though I wouldn't be surprised.

      10%? What the fuck. I literally worry I'm being cheap when I do a 20 or 25% tip, how do these people exist
