More often than not, food I’ve ordered via DD or UE has arrived in poor condition- cold, inedible, items missing etc.
Curiously I’ve yet to have a pizza delivered to me with the delivery person using an insulated bag. I’m sorry I’m not tipping for poor service. I did pizza delivery for 3 years in HS and College in the 80/90’s and never delivered a cold pie and always got great tips. Also I don’t tip in app. Drivers get cash COD for great service.

Good job. You know what? I use my hot-warm bag to hold orders over $2/mile paid, I often left the food sit on the snow freezing weather for 3mins for order pins at $3-$4. Get it? I made sure these who tip get the best warm food they want, and the cheaps get cold food. This is heart, if you don’t have a good by ordering delivery without tipping, I don’t have a good heart for you too. Thanks

No worries to me, your poor service results in 💯 refunds to the buyers, low ratings for the delivery person and eventually deactivation. It’s a great thinning of the herd and people with crazy expectations and senses of entitlement. 😂🤣😂

Ya think there might be a connection there? I know I (and my several insulated bags of different sizes, including a pizza carrier that actually plugs in an heats the food) am NOT taking your order. I also know most of the drivers on this platform won’t. So your food’s just chillin’ in the restaurant until they don’t tack your order onto someone who tips really well. No one wants the privilege (<—— sarcasm) of bringing you your food. You might want to get it yourself.

No tip - I’m not moving. Period.

You earned 18.50an hour . Minus fuel. Where else can you do this with out punching a clock ?
You expect to much for the gig jobs. My advice is just quit ! Your never going to be happy doing this job delivering food driving passengers shopping for groceries . There is nothing w rong if you just quit its just not for you .
Move onto something better that makes you happy its not this .

Its not them its you.

Also, cash is filthy and has excrement, cocaine, and coronavirus all over it. As a driver, its irresponsible to handle filthy, potentially disease ridden cash while Im in close proximity with peoples food.

Why don't the restaurants pay their employees 18% more and raise their prices on their menu by 18% to recoup the funds? That way they can pay their employees a fair wage that exceeds minimum wage as opposed to an unfair below minimum wage instead of guilt tripping the customer into paying their wages for them.
You’re example applies to the lowest achievers in the herd. Like anything, there are good and bad waitstaff, and the good ones figure out where to work.

In food delivery there are drivers that toil away at Fast Food $3 orders and end up making $9/hr and there are drivers that use their experience to figure out how to make $25 to $35/hr.

Same in waitstaff. You can slave away for peanuts at the Waffle House graveyard shift, OR you can get good at it and use your skills to end up at a very good restaurant. One of my daughters waitresses at a nice restaurant and makes $300 to $500 each 5 hour shift! She didn’t just get lucky, it took hard work and experience. Do you think she’s going to want to work under your pay model?

The problem with your pay model is it provides a disincentive for people to work harder and smarter to get ahead. The minimum wage isn’t something to aspire to unless you want to live poor the rest of your life. Rely on yourself to figure out a better way.

Eventually w her experience she should get $30 hr in the nice high end restaurants. Pay people at least minimum wage,once they gain experience they can make more $.

We to use to tipping,for some they rather get 10hr and make good tips. Than get 20hr.

The pay should be enough to live on,the tips should just be a nice bonus.

Let me say it here.
When you doing GREEDY Gig company jobs,
You as the driver should decide if the pick up and drop off is worthy. Cancel it if NOT or do Not accept.
You should NOT expect people tipping you. Because if they don't, you get upset. And it is not healthy for you mentally.
Also I dunno if you guys knows.
UBER EATS for example. Uber limited the amount of TIPS we can give to drivers. It won't let you TIP more than the FOOD WORTH.
Not sure about it's all city or just Las Vegas.
I order 22$ food and try to tip 30$, Uber shows the Tip Cap is 22$. Can't tip more on APP. Unless Cash.

If doing deliveries doesn’t pay you as much as you think it should don’t do deliveries. It’s that simple.
Take your entitled attitude elsewhere.
I agree with this lol
Myself driver ride share part time,
If I manage to get 25$ + an hour, I'm happy.
I'm not sure how much people expect making from Ride Share gigs?
You are the own boss, you drive your car, you don't need to listen to supervisor and you can Start and Stop anytime you want.
The money will only be less than less if pay is super good. Like right now, more and more people want to come Las Vegas and drive. Which means less Surge. More fishman than fishes.

Back in years I drive Uber delivery, I always have a Food Carry bag that will keep food warm.
But yesterday my delivery driver only come with the plastic bag restaurant packed lol Too bad I already tip very good in APP.
Otherwise I would honestly tip less. I expect delivery drivers have Special Food carry bag.

I keep the pizza bag in my car and have only delivered a cold pizza if I was handed a cold pizza. Go pick up your own food. We don't want you as a customer.

It does get me these apps rape you w fees,people pay $30 for a $15-17 order. The extra $3 dollars kills them .
Exactly, Uber Eats for example, they already taking 30% profit from Resturaunt and 30% + in Customer order.
If they still can't pay driver enough, that is on Uber App and Drivers lol

Resturaunt owners does not like people order from APP, they make almost NO profits.
They join just because hoping to get notice as delicious eat place.

Ive done over 2500 UE deliveries withOUT an insulated bag. I place all deliveries on my leather seat UNDERNEATH a heavy leather jacket. Works better than a bag. Would you tip me if I walked with a pizza box?
