    We should really not be normalizing calling money paid in advance to not have your food arrive late/cold a “tip”. It’s extortion.

    Tipping culture in America is fucked beyond belief. Pay everybody a fair wage and let’s get rid of tipping so nobody ever has to deal with this bullshit again.

      Drivers shouldn’t be allowed to see the tip amount prior to delivery completion. That, or tipping shouldn’t be allowed until after completion. I hate this more recent model of tipping before receiving service. Because as you said, it’s a bid for service, not an acknowledgement of good service.

        Flip it around - why would you work a job, any job, where you don’t know your pay until after the work is done?

        “Tipping” is rich-people speak for shifting the expense (and blame) to the customer.
