Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.

  Only because you live in a country where they don’t pay people properly.

    Yes, that is correct.

    Also the drivers use their own personal vehicles so they experience all the extra wear and tear, fuel costs, more frequent tire and oil changes, etc.

    It really is unfair which I why I make sure to tip decently.

      I think you are using wrong tool for this problem.

      So, you’re supporting the unfair system.

        I exist within the system. If I want a service which customarily involves a tip, that’s a part of what I signed up for.

        Show me the legislation to abolish tipping while requiring employers to pay a fair wage and I’ll sign it.

        Until then, if one wishes to receive a food delivery in the US, It’s sort of implied that you agreed to tip.

        Giving a shit tip to a hard working poor person because you don’t like the tipping system isn’t the solution imo.

  Right thing to do is raise minumum wage.

    When that happens, if they raise it high enough to actually do away with tipping, then that’s great. Until then, hard working poor people need their tips.
