doordash driver was given no tip

After a customer didn’t tip their DoorDash driver, he took her food and ate it in her driveway.

DoorDash drivers depend on their tips, as they are only paid $2.00 per trip. However, many people refuse to leave their drivers tips, causing some fairly uncomfortable deliveries.

In one recent DoorDash delivery, the driver pulled up to the customer’s house, asking them why they didn’t put a tip on the order.

When the woman still refused to tip him in cash, the driver snatched the food out of her hands and began eating it.

DoorDash driver asks customer for ketchup while eating her food

In a viral recording shared by moneywill82 on TikTok, a DoorDash delivery goes completely wrong.

As the driver approached the customer’s home, he was noticeably upset, instantly asking the customer why they didn’t leave him a tip.

The customer responded, “I already paid for my food so I thought that included your tip.” The DoorDash driver then began explaining how low his pay rate is, “You know we are service business, so everything is tip.”

The customer continued to connive her way out of giving the driver a deserving tip, especially after he traveled 35 minutes for the delivery.

Upset, the DoorDash driver then ripped the food bag out of the customer’s hands and sat in her driveway to eat her McDonald’s. He even asked her if she had ketchup to go with the burger.

Some viewers of the viral video took the side of the driver, saying, “Good for him! Totally on his side!”

And, “People who are too cheap to tip who order from Doordash should have to try it for a while then I guarantee they would start tipping.”

Other viewers, however, commented on the fact that the driver should have seen on the DoorDash app how much he would be receiving as a tip, saying that he shouldn’t have taken the order if nothing was added. 

Being that the DoorDash driver ate the customer’s food, the customer did say they would “report” him. It’s unknown if the driver has lost his job.
