The owner taking their tips is punishing the driver. It's not my responsibility to insulate the driver from that. I am paying a surcharge for delivery. That's reasonable. If the driver doesn't get the cut of that he feels he deserves, he can work somewhere else.
- bweitzman 11y agoThis is the problem with tipping culture. It's misleading to advertise a delivery charge and then still expect to customers to tip, and when the driver and the customer are in disagreement or even just unaware of the other's position, it leads to people looking (and maybe feeling) like assholes on both sides.

- mpeg 11y agoNo one is holding a gun to their heads though. I don't like tipping, I do it when I'm in the US because it is a norm but overall it feels like a scam; as I don't get any better service or quality than anywhere else in the world where the wait staff gets a decent wage. I get the feeling lots of tip workers hide behind the argument that they "don't get paid enough" because they simply make more money that way. Meanwhile, kitchen staff generally work harder and longer hours and don't often get their share.
- djur 11y agoBy this same argument, you might as well not ever tip. I'd be happy for our society to eliminate tipping and replace it with better wages. But, until that happy day, there are people to whom it is customary to give tips, and food delivery people are among them.
