Being a mustachian in progress, I avoid getting food delivered. I find it a little funny that my side gig is delivering food.
Every time someone gives me a zero buck tip, it hurts. Makes me want to turn around and ask "wtf did I do wrong?" More often I just want to turn around and tell the person, "if you don't want to tip, don't ask me to bring your food to you."
I also find it amazing how many people have no clue how to tip. It is very awkward standing in front of someone while they are trying to figure out how much to give you. There have been times where people have asked me if $xx.xx is a good tip? At that point, I just tell them I'm grateful they are tipping me at all (could never ethically feel okay w/ telling them what's a good tip and what's a bad tip). Other times, people are so flustered at doing simple math. How hard is it to just pull out your phone and use the calculator or use a nice round number to figure it out?
Funny story (at least to me, lol):
I had a friend who was in need of some cash. Instead of lending my friend money ($20-$40), I give them the option of earning it so they don't have to worry about paying me back. All they have to do is come w/ me for deliveries, sit in my car and wait for a delivery, then go up to the door and give the food and get their tip. They keep the tip, I keep the hourly wage since I'm doing the driving and doing the inside work.
So my friend goes up to the door, gets the money/gives the food to the customer. The order is like $23.73. I have my window rolled down and can hear my friend talking to the customer. Customer essentially wants friend to round the cost to make it easier to find the money for the order. Friend says $23 and received $25. So when friend gets back in the car, I ask her how much she received as a tip, she says $2. She's the type of person who is not lying when they say they're bad at math. I had to explain to her to round up, not down, because she just screwed herself out of $0.73. lol
