I drove delivery up until about a year ago, as gas prices went up and Uber took more and more of the fee I ended up turning down more and more deliveries because I’d nearly be losing money without a good tip. You get snippy with the people complaining about not having money for a tip because you’re also struggling, that’s why you’re driving.

Yea, ride share and delivery businesses seem to prey on both the customer and driver to make as much money as they can. The drivers end up relying on customers for tips to make a profit. Customers have no clue most of what they pay doesn’t go to the driver.

Drivers get agitated at no tippers, and or tip baiters. Customers who are not properly informed on the reality of where their money goes, and either don’t tip or tip very low, get agitated at waiting for ever for what they paid for; and with drivers expecting a tip. Over all Uber and Doordash have created a toxic environment by their greed.

I will not take orders that I don’t make a profit on, I never make a profit on non-tipper or low tipping orders, so I don’t take them. 

The reality is, when someone doesn’t tip or tips very low, their ride request or food order is going to float around from driver to driver, till Uber or Doordash finally increases what they are offering the driver to take the order. Often times this means long wait times for the customer, and very cold food if it’s a food order, or a missed doctors appointment or what ever for a taxi ride.

The tip really shouldn’t be called a tip, it should be called a bid for service. The larger the bid you offer, the greater chance of a driver taking your request sooner than later.
