While that would be ideal, I do think it’s at least slightly crazy to truly expect that people delivering food are not somewhat depending on tips to make it work. That’s just how it goes in the real world!
- imgabe 9y agoIt doesn't have to go that way if we (all of us, customers and employees alike) refuse to accept that it should go that way.
- tertius 9y agoEither start a campaign or you're seriously busy being disingenuous.
- mtpn 9y agoI agree. I was pointing out that if this commenter “expects” the employee is adequately compensated by the price paid to the company for the service, they are mistaken. I don’t think relying on the individual discretion of each customer to willingly part with extra cash for you should be the foundation of a whole job’s viability. But currently, it is.
- drawnwren 9y agoThis certainly isn't how it goes outside of the US. Why should delivering food suddenly change this vs say driving a truck or car share?
- mtpn 9y agoI’m not at all suggesting that it should be the way it is. Instacart only operates in the US though, so I figured it was safe to take that as the context.
- ionised 9y agoThe US is not the world.
- mtpn 9y agoInstacart only operates in the US though, so seemed like reasonable context for the comment I was referring to. But I see your point in my choice of “the real world” in my comment. Badly worded.
