“They Don’t Need a Tip, They Get Most of the Delivery Fee Anyway!â€
What about it?
For those of you who order through DoorDash and assume the delivery driver receives the majority of the delivery fee (as I did prior to becoming a driver), you are mistaken.
This was the 2nd time this order popped up on the app by the time I took the screen shot. The first time the guarantee was for $3.50. On any given day, without tips, a driver will only receive the base pay, which is typically between $2.00 and $3.50 per delivery.
If you appreciate the convenience DoorDash (and other delivery services) affords you, and you don’t want to see an increase in drivers who are rude, incompetent, and disrespectful, (as a result of customer service focused drivers no longer making enough to justify their position) including a tip would only serve to help you in the long run.
Just a thought.
