Comment on As if the tip actually goes to the dashers.

Normal people never, ever think this.

I didn’t realize you’re the spokesperson for all normies, what an honor. Really though, it is a common sentiment, especially with pre-tipping. When they flip around that iPad and glare at you, there is definitely a sense that the probability of them spitting in your food is not 0% if you hit the no tip button.
Baristas post on their social media about giving non-tippers decaf all the time. If that’s what they are willing to share publicly to the entire world, imagine what people are willing to do secretly.

Dude there is a universe worth of difference between eating at a restaurant and being asked to tip like, a good truck or some shit.
