I simply don't understand tipping before service. I have had multiple occasions where the delivery is either delayed, food items missing, delivery guy calling me and asking me to walk up to him/her because he/she doesn't want to deal with parking etc. But, still expected norm is to pay a tip in advance and hope for good service. And, in case you had a bad experience, well you rewarded the service with a tip in advance anyway.
- TheAceOfHearts 7y agoIt's been a while since I last used their service, but I think they allow you to modify your tip after the delivery has been made.
- forgtpasswd 7y agoEven with that feature, not sure if that sounds justifiable to some but that just seems even stranger than paying a tip upfront to me. If I buy a couch online, how would it feel if the retail website has a optional 15% tip for the delivery guy opted in by default in the checkout flow. And, provide an option to modify the 15% in case your couch was delivered late or damaged. Somehow, this workflow is widely accepted when its food delivery :) No idea, why is it expected to tip delivery persons for some commodities while its not expected for some other :) Same thing, its expected to tip a driver for a shared lyft/uber but not expected to tip a bus driver. It's just funny at this point :)
