In recent years, the rise of online food delivery services has revolutionized the way we satisfy our cravings. With just a few clicks, we can have a hot and delicious meal delivered right to our doorstep. However, along with the convenience and accessibility of these services, a growing discussion has emerged regarding the etiquette and practice of tipping on delivery orders upfront.
Traditionally, tipping has been associated with in-person dining experiences, but as more people opt for delivery, questions have arisen about whether or not it is necessary or appropriate to tip the delivery driver upfront. This debate has ignited varied perspectives and considerations, sparking conversations among consumers, delivery platforms, and even the drivers themselves.
Recently, one DoorDash delivery driver posted a Tiktok sharing how a customer’s $92 Panera order sat for hours because they didn’t tip.
So should you always just tip? Or is the tip for the service, and therefore given upon delivery?
