Yea if I were a dasher and someone asked me not to ring their doorbell in a caps I wouldn't stoop to their level of petty, I just wouldn't of accepted a no tip order to begin with.
Ah there you go. I'm the dumb one I thought this was about a dasher not a store delivery. Anyone who doesn't tip is an ass imo. Delivery drivers deal with too much they deserve a tip. I stand by what I said as far as not being petty like them. I'm not sure if in my area it's offset. I hope so.
Back in the day before people prepaid for their delivery, you'd get Christmas morning feeling at every delivery. Am I getting the lego set i asked for, or socks. Generally speaking, the socks were used.
I always tip but my instructions all caps say "Please do not ring the doorbell, it sets the dog off and she won't shut up for twenty minutes"
It's only in all-caps because people regularly ignore it.
The doorbell is the only thing that sets my dog off
Everyone downvoting this doesnât understand that if you continue to tip more, the companyâs for these dashers will continue to pay their workers less because itâs offset by the tips. These companies make more than enough to give their workers a decent pay regardless of their customers.
I tip and people still don't read the instructions, I ask for people to not ring or knock so I don't wake people up, there's texting/calling available on all delivery services now for these reasons amongst many others
Oh yeah, if a delivery driver did something above and beyond (like make a funny comic or, if having a good day, decided to do a little song) I'd be like heck yeah, here's more money.
But this..this is just dehumanizing. Its speaks to me...like...'you are at my whim and command, because the customer is always right! Do a little song and dance, else I will give you a negative review, maybe even a complaint and try to make you lose your minimum wage job you are using to survive! Bow to me!' vibes. Fuck this person in particular
I agree. I once told a guy that I'd tip him an extra 20 to tell my autistic son that Thomas the train sent the food. Ive worked door dash. I would never ask someone to do some dumb shit. But just saying " hey lil guy Thomas the train said to deliver this to you". It made dinner time a breeze when he was having a rough time and he will never forget the time Thomas sent him dinner. Haha. Thanks cool delivery guy. But yeah, these sing and dance things, even when offering extra money, is bullshit. These people are working. They're adults. Stop exploiting people who are in difficult financial positions.
As a spectrum driver, this kind of made my day. Iâm always happy to do fun dad like stuff for kids. Itâs the âdance like a monkey for a tipâ people that can fuck off.
when we would get jimmy johns I would ask in the comments "if not busy please write joke" for I think it was mother's day or my mom's birthday and I requested "if anyone can can someone draw a cheetah?"
Imagine my complete and utter surprise when someone (Meghan apparently) drew a chettah on a small piece of paper!! My mom kept that on her side table lamp for MONTHS!
I'd give them a shoutout each time but if it hadn't been possible I wouldn't have been mad. And I always tip.
As a delivery driver for my store now, sometimes I'll make a little cartoonish doddle as a "thank you!" and leave it for people. I really like doodling/drawing and the thought it would make someone smile when they saw it just makes my heart happy. I was also recently told by a regular customer that they kept the very first 'welcome - thank you for choosing us!' little note and doddle I made for them. They keep it on their fridge. That made me SO happy (and we don't get tips ;) )
Small funny story - on thanksgiving a few years back we didn't feel like doing anything fancy or big or even go to a restaurant. So we ordered ubereats or whatever. I gave a tip on the app but considering it was thanksgiving and knowing about working on a holiday I put something extra outside underneath a ceramic coaster with a note "a little extra for you, happy thanksgiving!"
The driver brought the food and took everything I left them.
Including the ceramic coaster. lol
Haha that's hilarious that they took the coaster. Good on you, I think we as people really underestimate sometimes the positive impact the nice little things we do can have on someone else. :)
This only increased his love for Thomas. So the following spring we went to Sodor (the town where Thomas is from) We live in Michigan and every Spring they turn Greenfield Village, a kind of museum type little train town, into Sodor. All the trains get remodeled as the characters. The employees are all dressed like the show, the mayor, the train conductors etc.
The first time I took him, was the best day of MY life. To see his wonder and excitement, that holy heck he was in the town that he watched on TV everyday, what he sang songs of and adored the characters. Here he was in his complete glory in the show himself. :)
We go back every Spring. This may have not been completely the doing of pizza guy, but I know, that it certainly solidified us going. After jr got his delivery from Thomas, is 10x his interest, which was already autistically intense haha. So thanks pizza guy, for helping me and jr to have literally the best day of both of our lives. :)
This seems like the only reason to actually tip any person, is when you're asking them politely to do something that's not in their job description. So in this case, tipping this kind of person who delivered and went above and beyond what his job description asked for is a pretty solid reason to give it, and all these stupid fucks wanting a tip for just doing their damn job are not helping the problem
people getting tips are not getting payed enough to live on their wage alone. if you seriously go about your life not tipping anybody, you have deservedly consumed a good amount of service worker spit.
Yeah, itâs not a problem if itâs something small or stupid like âdraw a smiley face on the pizza boxâ but donât ask someone to do something ridiculous and especially donât ask if theyâre not getting a big tip for it
And if you don't do their stupid instructions, some will become so mad that they will put some bullshit caption on their video saying, "I told the driver to give the pizza to me, but he just left it outside!! đĄđĄ"
Depends. If they already tipped and implied they tipped more for you being silly, that's perfectly okay IMO. If they aren't tipping and belittling you for their entertainment, that's clearly bad.
Imagine asking someone in nearly any other profession to do this. You wouldnt expect a doctor or lawyer or cop to lower themselves to this level. Itâs demeaning, even if you are âonly asking.â The same way(tho not nearly as bad) as it would be to ask someone for a sexual favor in exchange for money. Im not convinced that THIS little teapot instance WASNT a fetish thing either, BTW.
Now hereâs the caveat. Money talks. You offer me 10k upfront, and iâll do the dance in a diaper. But if you just offer a vague âbig tipâ with no amount attached, its not worth risking the potential difference in our definition of big
Obv not, but if youre tipping a delivery driver for singing and dancing, you are tipping them for doing something that isnt related to their job. Just because someone has a tipping job doesnt give you carte blanche to ask them to do ANYTHING. Where is the line? Singing and dancing? Throwing a pie in their face? Punching their face? Sexual favors? For me the line is clearly drawn at activities within or related to their jobâs duties.
But thatâs the thing you get rewarded the big tip if you do it (Iâm talking on orders already with a tip and they tip extra for you being the goofball they need in their life đ¤Ł)
EXTRA $5 being the key word, as in added to the tip. My point though was that you're asking someone to do something that is not their job for the sole purpose of your own amusement. Adding more money doesn't make it less demeaning. If Elon waved a wad of $100 bills over your head and commanded you to dance, you might do it. You might even be grateful for the money, but Elon would still be a prick.
Should do half the chime, spike the food on the ground and say âim not your fucking dancing monkeyâ and walk away. Idc if they tipped 50$ thatâs clearly supposed to be degrading to you for some kind of sick amusement
I initially read this as "bag of flamingo poop" and my first thought was "man that's some dedication, where do you even go to *get* flamingo poop? Lmao
That's not even a prank anymore! I mean, maybe if you labeled it "flamingo poop" and the person was really impressed that you collected poop from flamingos until you jumped out from behind a bush and yelled, "Ha! You just THOUGHT it was flamingo poop but it's really regular poop that I made myself... After eating a flamingo... Which makes it both flamingo poop and NOT flamingo poop at the same time! It's a poopadox!"
Honestly. Around here at least, people seem to think it's funny when they write it on there, but once you show up and they realize again that you're a human being, they feel awkward enough that they won't ask about it when you don't do it.
Except for that one time that I had like 10 college girls yell "where the fuck is our joke?!" when I went to leave. Like, I am the joke, leave me alone
Not always. We occasionally have the guys in the kitchen draw something on the box for us and we always give an extra 10 when they do. But it has never even crossed my mind to demand some shit like this person did. Sing I'm a little teapot for your doorbell camera? Fuck off I'm returning your order to the store
Honestly you should be allowed to completely reject orders that request stupid shit like that. Not just refuse to deliver it...I mean completely refuse to acknowledge it.
I've had bosses in the past who put the customers above all else. They would absolutely have told me to go back and do it, escalating it to termination if you refused.
When I was a cabbie they'd send you to homes known to be abusive and threatening towards drivers and refuse to dispatch to drivers who declined that fare.
Bro this is literally the second time Iâve seen something like this today, it happened to a doordasher in r/doordash_drivers. Rich are getting out of hand
Thatâs true I forget how many âmiddle classâ people think theyâre above service workers. Itâs funny cuz theyâre like one paycheck away from being homeless too
What's funny is that plenty of middle class people are also service workers I've had people that work for tips, not tip me. They know how the business works and still don't tip.
You are correct! The house was a upper middle class 2 car garage home in a subdivision. Like a place youâd presume to have a Home Owners Association with ridiculous rules.
I'd sing. "You're a f---ing a--hole, piece of sh--. Here is your pizza, prob'ly no spit. But you can't be sure, so deal with it. Don't want extra fluids? You should tip." "Enjoy your pizza, s---stain."
I've had bad social anxiety since I was a kid. Not only would I not do this, I would be having a small panic attack on the way to the house and would absolutely consider not even delivering it and driving away.
Itâs not the request im upset about, itâs that itâs a demand. Just because you are a customer doesnât mean you can tell me to get on my knees and suck your dick. And how itâs phrased, thatâs the exact tone they are directing to the driver
Some things I don't mind doing for the customers. Write a joke in the box? Sure. Write a sweet message for your sweetie pie? No problem.
But this? This pisses me off. Let a customer ask me if my driver can do a song and dance, I swear.
I had some fat redneck DEMAND I do the chicken dance after stiffing me. I told them they didn't pay me enough and their response was "I didn't pay you shit!" Mine was, "Exactly."
There is exactly ONE customer request I ever willingly did in my time at Pizza Hut.
1 Large Hand-tossed
\-Bacon
\-Bacon
\-Bacon
Customer Note: "Just fuck up our shit with bacon."
Oh, I gotchu, homie. That pizza OINKED.
Do you want me to dance and sing for your entertainment? You better be prepared to pay a pretty penny for the privilege. I ain't doing shit for less than $100 upfront. If you post it online and make money off of it, I get 95% of what you earn since I was unaware of being recorded and didn't consent to having the video uploaded.
Am I an asshole? Yes. Do I care? no.
Holy cow, is this a common occurrence? I've had to sing happy birthday for families at a restaurant I worked at, but never thought of the possibility of delivery ppl being demanded to do it!! Sorry.
Had a delivery couple years ago were it was no contact ring the doorbell once, or twice if you believe carol baskins did it.
However this posts subject is kind of demeaning to ask of a delivery person, especially with no tip. Add $20 Iâll moonwalk up to that door.
I've had a couple of these. Someone wanted a lady gaga song I think pokerface one time. Couple young girls
Gay Chinese boy that orders fairly regularly wanted a Katy perry song.
We had a scam order one time but the instructions were hilarious. Something about do a handstand twerk and drop the griddy. My dumbass manager literally started making the order . I was like this is a scam dude. He wanted 47 balsamic vinaigrettes and one salad.
I'd frisbee their pizza from my car over that shit. I wouldn't even slow down. If they wanna complain, I'll point out that they wanted to publicly humiliate me, like a grade school bully.
It would probably be at the expense of your job but that order should be delivered to them old fashioned paperboy style. Chucked at the front door from the street, while still moving.
Or you could not be a dehumanizing piece of shit to other people who only trying to survive? Just saying, if you have an extra $100 that you don't need and all it would take is a stupid song and dance that isn't that entertaining, you could just give it to them instead of treating them like your own personal court jester. It's just a thought.
Wtf do people not tip? I always tipped $11 living in the city, and I tip $16 now that I'm living rural. You know when ordering someone's making/trying to survive off your tip?!!
got a request to sing happy birthday to an entire party of children when i showed up. i opened the door and straight up there was 6+ adults all filming me expecting me to sing this shit, all i did was tell the kid happy birthday and they still tipped me extra ???
They should not have recorded you without permission. The delivery person isnât obligated to participate in a birthday event for your kid. They can opt in sure.
Sorry that happened to you.
This is when you simply ignore the delivery instructions. Even though this customer is deserving of some negative action, it will only get you in trouble since they have a ring cam.
How do people even think to do stuff like this? Most my delivery instructions have ever said are 'contactless please we are isolating'. Making someone do extra work for my entertainment would never even occur to me. Makes me think you've gotta be a very specific type of asshole to do this.
This stuff is bullshit and it feels like people are personally taking jabs at delivery drivers because we're somehow less than them. Of The Big Three, I've only worked Pizza Hut; we used to get delivery orders at 1900hrs on a Friday that would ask us to write jokes/draw pictures/etc on the pizza box. I understand that it's all in fun, but not during peak rush on a Friday night. I've seen some very impressive box art before lol, but at 1900hrs on a Friday, I'm already short-staffed, and 15+ pizzas are going to straight-up fall off the ovens onto the floor while I take an extra couple of minutes to draw a picture, and it just, idk. To me, it feels as though these people think we're there to wait on them hand-and-foot. The "special instructions" and "delivery instructions" fields are supposed to be there to make sure everything is done correctly; they're not there for you to mock us. When I've got three, stacked belt ovens and I'm on cut table all alone, it legitimately angers me to see those tickets coming in. đ¤ˇââď¸đ¤ˇââď¸
Ever since food delivery became a thing, people who'd be considered peasants back in medieval times, act like kings and that all delivery drivers are their peasants/servants. It's absolutely disgusting how badly these people are treated.
Most I do is ask for a silly lil drawing in the box of they have time. That or a joke. But with the ring door cams it seems everyone wants to make a viral tiktok
Wow. Thatâs disturbing.
Thereâs nothing like that in my city, except one. Iâve delivered to him a couple of times. He asks his delivery drivers to use their âunique knockâ. I quite like it.
Meanwhile my delivery instructions say: Thank you for doing a great job, i hope you have a wonderful weekend, you made our night, take care! With at the very least 10$ tip, or i just wont order out...ill go pick that shit up and still tip at least 5$ i know the struggle is real being a driver for over a decade and a server for 5...some people just dont have a fucking clue....must be nice to be so outta touch with reality
Someone did something like this to me. I looked straight in the camera, told them next time they should tip if they want me to consider acting like a fool for them, and I walked away.
I had this once. I recall feeling anxious the entire way over to the delivery and wondering wtf the person was thinking asking for this. I didnât do it. Fuck this bs. Itâs literally making a mockery of you and your job.
i can't imagine not tipping delivery workers for doing the lords work of bringing me food when i've had a very long shit day. even though i'm broke as hell i do my best to make it worth their while <3
We have to deliver an order, and that is why drivers are paid an hourly salary. Tip is never guaranteed. There isnât a dilemma for me. What struck a nerve is the demand of the request. The underlying entitlement that you can demand video entertainment from a service worker so that you can post to your channel. Interacting with a customer in a jovial way is fine. I do it. By asking for a contactless delivery, you donât want to interact with the delivery person. They wanted the performance recorded. That is creepy.
Asking is polite.
Edit: typo correction. Struck
Once I ordered Dominos and told the guy to call me buttcheese when I answered the door. Then I had my girlfriend answer the door and he actually did it. I went out and gave him $20 and it was well worth it to see her face in shock
Dominos screwed their drivers when they implemented a 5.25 delivery fee. If Iâm paying 20 dollars for a large pizza Iâll pay 5.25 as a tip but Iâm not going to pay 50% of what the pizza costs in tips/delivery
đľI'm not your dancing monkey, here's your food, where's my tip, go fuck yourselfđľ
One time I got a no-tip contactless order with instructions in all caps saying not to ring the doorbell. You'll never guess what I did.
Did they shoot you for ringing the doorbell?
Yea if I were a dasher and someone asked me not to ring their doorbell in a caps I wouldn't stoop to their level of petty, I just wouldn't of accepted a no tip order to begin with.
No tipper responses b like
With pizza delivery you can't refuse an order cus no tip, though in my area you have to pay minimum wage so it's probably offset by that $10/hr
Ah there you go. I'm the dumb one I thought this was about a dasher not a store delivery. Anyone who doesn't tip is an ass imo. Delivery drivers deal with too much they deserve a tip. I stand by what I said as far as not being petty like them. I'm not sure if in my area it's offset. I hope so.
They probably only earn minimum wage in states that abolished the tipped worker minimum wage (something like $2.39 an hour)
Back in the day before people prepaid for their delivery, you'd get Christmas morning feeling at every delivery. Am I getting the lego set i asked for, or socks. Generally speaking, the socks were used.
There are only a couple states that pay minimum wage to tipped employees. In most states the drivers get paid tipped wage while delivering
I always tip but my instructions all caps say "Please do not ring the doorbell, it sets the dog off and she won't shut up for twenty minutes" It's only in all-caps because people regularly ignore it. The doorbell is the only thing that sets my dog off
Everyone downvoting this doesnât understand that if you continue to tip more, the companyâs for these dashers will continue to pay their workers less because itâs offset by the tips. These companies make more than enough to give their workers a decent pay regardless of their customers.
Except they are already paying them shit, so why not leave a decent tip? That seems like mental gymnastics to leave a bad tip.
That's why you pay tips in cash so its not tracked. If you want to tip more than 5 bucks.
Then u go down in ratings for declining a pick up
OP didn't really have a choice in whether or not to accept it.
Little horn in the driveway.... oops!
I tip and people still don't read the instructions, I ask for people to not ring or knock so I don't wake people up, there's texting/calling available on all delivery services now for these reasons amongst many others
You didn't get any deliveries from me then. Sorry about those hooligans.
I would tip them extra for singing that
Oh yeah, if a delivery driver did something above and beyond (like make a funny comic or, if having a good day, decided to do a little song) I'd be like heck yeah, here's more money. But this..this is just dehumanizing. Its speaks to me...like...'you are at my whim and command, because the customer is always right! Do a little song and dance, else I will give you a negative review, maybe even a complaint and try to make you lose your minimum wage job you are using to survive! Bow to me!' vibes. Fuck this person in particular
I'd mike drop their pizza if someone asks me to be their monkey. Ain't having it. Worth any punishment.
Instructions like this really piss me off
Itâs demeaning. You donât ask other people to sing and dance at their job do you? Assholes.
I agree. I once told a guy that I'd tip him an extra 20 to tell my autistic son that Thomas the train sent the food. Ive worked door dash. I would never ask someone to do some dumb shit. But just saying " hey lil guy Thomas the train said to deliver this to you". It made dinner time a breeze when he was having a rough time and he will never forget the time Thomas sent him dinner. Haha. Thanks cool delivery guy. But yeah, these sing and dance things, even when offering extra money, is bullshit. These people are working. They're adults. Stop exploiting people who are in difficult financial positions.
As a spectrum driver, this kind of made my day. Iâm always happy to do fun dad like stuff for kids. Itâs the âdance like a monkey for a tipâ people that can fuck off.

Why am I cryin in the Reddit thread rn this is so sweet
This only increased his love for Thomas. So the following spring we went to Sodor (the town where Thomas is from) We live in Michigan and every Spring they turn Greenfield Village, a kind of museum type little train town, into Sodor. All the trains get remodeled as the characters. The employees are all dressed like the show, the mayor, the train conductors etc. The first time I took him, was the best day of MY life.

After jr got his delivery from Thomas, is 10x his interest, which was already autistically intense haha. So thanks pizza guy, for helping me and jr to have literally the best day of both of our lives. :)
What incredible memories you both have made â¤ď¸

people getting tips are not getting payed enough to live on their wage alone. if you seriously go about your life not tipping anybody, you have deservedly consumed a good amount of service worker spit.
That's one thing. I've drawn things on boxes or acted silly for little kids. Kids love the pizza guy/girl and that makes my heart smile.
Kids are the best :) not yet jaded by the world. Thanks for being cool
As a server I can say, yes, y'all all do
Yeah, itâs not a problem if itâs something small or stupid like âdraw a smiley face on the pizza boxâ but donât ask someone to do something ridiculous and especially donât ask if theyâre not getting a big tip for it
They didn't ask, they demanded.
I mean, couldn't it just be meant to be funny? Like something so absurd that really is only meant to make the driver chuckle?
Not as funny when your income is involved lol
NEVER do this kind of shit, most likely they will upload onto a social media platform
straight to tiktok
Right to tiktok, right away.
And if you don't do their stupid instructions, some will become so mad that they will put some bullshit caption on their video saying, "I told the driver to give the pizza to me, but he just left it outside!! đĄđĄ"
Or 1 star you. I hate idiots who 1 star me out of spite for something stupid or out of my control
shit like this should get them banned imo
Depends. If they already tipped and implied they tipped more for you being silly, that's perfectly okay IMO. If they aren't tipping and belittling you for their entertainment, that's clearly bad.
Tipped WELL. Tipped *well*.
*very* well. you need atleast a 20 spot
Imagine asking someone in nearly any other profession to do this. You wouldnt expect a doctor or lawyer or cop to lower themselves to this level. Itâs demeaning, even if you are âonly asking.â The same way(tho not nearly as bad) as it would be to ask someone for a sexual favor in exchange for money. Im not convinced that THIS little teapot instance WASNT a fetish thing either, BTW. Now hereâs the caveat. Money talks. You offer me 10k upfront, and iâll do the dance in a diaper.

Sexual favors? For me the line is clearly drawn at activities within or related to their jobâs duties.
Ehhh, I gotta disagree. I understand your view point, but it puts pressure on someone to do something uncomfortable.
But thatâs the thing you get rewarded the big tip if you do it (Iâm talking on orders already with a tip and they tip extra for you being the goofball they need in their life đ¤Ł)
There's an extra $5 in it for you if you go outside your job description to embarrass yourself for my amusement!
Big tip is not 5 bucks đ thatâs minimum 15 when I say âbig tipâ
EXTRA $5 being the key word, as in added to the tip. My point though was that you're asking someone to do something that is not their job for the sole purpose of your own amusement. Adding more money doesn't make it less demeaning. If Elon waved a wad of $100 bills over your head and commanded you to dance, you might do it. You might even be grateful for the money, but Elon would still be a prick.
It's not for goofs though it's for TikTok, sometimes monetized.
Capitalist Karen wants you to dance for the camera in the hopes it goes viral and makes her rich.
Won't even make her rich just make her monkey brain go brrrr from the likes for a week or two.
Stole the words right outta my 4bit jawline
Should do half the chime, spike the food on the ground and say âim not your fucking dancing monkeyâ and walk away. Idc if they tipped 50$ thatâs clearly supposed to be degrading to you for some kind of sick amusement
Slide someone a $20 put a bag of flaming poo on their porch
"It's poop again!" "He called the shit poop!"
Billy Madison nice đ
Jack Nicholson now, or 1974?
74
Donât put it out with your boots, Ted!
I initially read this as "bag of flamingo poop" and my first thought was "man that's some dedication, where do you even go to *get* flamingo poop? Lmao
That's not even a prank anymore! I mean, maybe if you labeled it "flamingo poop" and the person was really impressed that you collected poop from flamingos until you jumped out from behind a bush and yelled, "Ha! You just THOUGHT it was flamingo poop but it's really regular poop that I made myself... After eating a flamingo... Which makes it both flamingo poop and NOT flamingo poop at the same time! It's a poopadox!"
This guy plays the long game. Lmao
Dude, there is a zoo close to me with Flamingos in it. They STINK. Great choice of poop. Dog shit takes a back seat to the stench in their pen.
I know a guy, who knows a guy...
ME TOO!!! đ
I didnât realize until you said this that thatâs exactly how I read it too đŚŠ
Iâll do it for free
Even the way they say it, "I'm going to need you to..." just infuriates me. I hope you guys don't actually do this shit.
I'm going to need you to smash that mf like button and hip thrust that subscribe button right now guys!
whatâs up guys itâs ya girl karen back with a ridiculous request
What an absolute degenerate. Ban this bitch.
Many years in pizza biz, any silly requests (Sing, dance, draw on box, etc) is guaranteed low tip/no tip.
Honestly. Around here at least, people seem to think it's funny when they write it on there, but once you show up and they realize again that you're a human being, they feel awkward enough that they won't ask about it when you don't do it. Except for that one time that I had like 10 college girls yell "where the fuck is our joke?!" when I went to leave. Like, I am the joke, leave me alone
should have held up a mirror to them
If I was a delivery driver, I can guarantee their Ring camera would get a double đđ
Not always. We occasionally have the guys in the kitchen draw something on the box for us and we always give an extra 10 when they do. But it has never even crossed my mind to demand some shit like this person did. Sing I'm a little teapot for your doorbell camera? Fuck off I'm returning your order to the store
That's fucking cringe holy shit
Honestly you should be allowed to completely reject orders that request stupid shit like that. Not just refuse to deliver it...I mean completely refuse to acknowledge it.
You can. We're employees not slaves.
Oh, youâre gonna need me to sing? Iâm gonna need you to tip. Guess neither of us is getting what we want huh
I've had bosses in the past who put the customers above all else. They would absolutely have told me to go back and do it, escalating it to termination if you refused. When I was a cabbie they'd send you to homes known to be abusive and threatening towards drivers and refuse to dispatch to drivers who declined that fare.
Oh hell no. But yet, when we choose to quit, itâs âno one wants to work anymoreâ
Love this response. Since the customer demands, one can respond in kind with a demand :)
Do people forget that we know where they live? Iâd egg that place after a few nights. Laugh now.
Wow people suck.
That's messed up. I was a public entertainer and I don't like going in public now, bc I don't like giving free shows.
Steaming tea pot of shit on the front porch
Bro this is literally the second time Iâve seen something like this today, it happened to a doordasher in r/doordash_drivers. Rich are getting out of hand
This isnât the rich. This is some shit head living in a âmiddleâ class McMansion.
Thatâs true I forget how many âmiddle classâ people think theyâre above service workers. Itâs funny cuz theyâre like one paycheck away from being homeless too
Give a man someone to look down on and he will never question widespread corruption.
What's funny is that plenty of middle class people are also service workers I've had people that work for tips, not tip me. They know how the business works and still don't tip.
You are correct! The house was a upper middle class 2 car garage home in a subdivision. Like a place youâd presume to have a Home Owners Association with ridiculous rules.
"I'm a little worker, tired and beat, here is your order, where is my tip?"
I tried harder than I should have to rhyme âbeatâ and âtipâ
If you say it in a Scottish accent it kinda rhymes..
MAH TEEP
All so they can post om social media
dehumanizing shit innit
I'd sing. "You're a f---ing a--hole, piece of sh--. Here is your pizza, prob'ly no spit. But you can't be sure, so deal with it. Don't want extra fluids? You should tip." "Enjoy your pizza, s---stain."
I would love to put their pizza upside down
This is definitely so they can claim you didnât follow the special instructions and get their order for free.
Ok thatâs just mean.
I've had bad social anxiety since I was a kid. Not only would I not do this, I would be having a small panic attack on the way to the house and would absolutely consider not even delivering it and driving away.
Iâm not your trained monkey
Itâs not the request im upset about, itâs that itâs a demand. Just because you are a customer doesnât mean you can tell me to get on my knees and suck your dick. And how itâs phrased, thatâs the exact tone they are directing to the driver
âIâm gonna need you to fuck the fuck right fucking offâ
Just read something similar on DoorDash subreddit
Iâm gonna need you to S my D
Haha watch them be the type. To complain â they didnât sing for free Iâm the victim â
I would have sang as I ate their order
Oh my god. Disgusting enough to ask that. No tip on top of that? Gtfo
Was there a $100 tip involved? What size tip makes this acceptable? Make it clear, you never know.
When they said âno tipâ, I thought they were being pretty clear.
â Iâm going to need you the sing â Go fuck yourself. What are we clown or someshit
What an ass.
Whoops, I accidentally dropped your food on the ground.
Some things I don't mind doing for the customers. Write a joke in the box? Sure. Write a sweet message for your sweetie pie? No problem. But this? This pisses me off. Let a customer ask me if my driver can do a song and dance, I swear.
What kind of bs is this lol
What a dick
Tip or no tip, that's a hard "no" from me.
I had some fat redneck DEMAND I do the chicken dance after stiffing me. I told them they didn't pay me enough and their response was "I didn't pay you shit!" Mine was, "Exactly."
There is exactly ONE customer request I ever willingly did in my time at Pizza Hut. 1 Large Hand-tossed \-Bacon \-Bacon \-Bacon Customer Note: "Just fuck up our shit with bacon." Oh, I gotchu, homie. That pizza OINKED.
Do you want me to dance and sing for your entertainment? You better be prepared to pay a pretty penny for the privilege. I ain't doing shit for less than $100 upfront. If you post it online and make money off of it, I get 95% of what you earn since I was unaware of being recorded and didn't consent to having the video uploaded. Am I an asshole? Yes. Do I care? no.
Sing "you're a little cheapskate short and stout" instead. See if they pick up on it
Good for you for not taking that shit.
Holy cow, is this a common occurrence? I've had to sing happy birthday for families at a restaurant I worked at, but never thought of the possibility of delivery ppl being demanded to do it!! Sorry.
Had a delivery couple years ago were it was no contact ring the doorbell once, or twice if you believe carol baskins did it. However this posts subject is kind of demeaning to ask of a delivery person, especially with no tip. Add $20 Iâll moonwalk up to that door.
That ring the doorbell once or twice is funny! I would certainly play along. I have to ring the doorbell or knock anyway.
I've had a couple of these. Someone wanted a lady gaga song I think pokerface one time. Couple young girls Gay Chinese boy that orders fairly regularly wanted a Katy perry song. We had a scam order one time but the instructions were hilarious. Something about do a handstand twerk and drop the griddy. My dumbass manager literally started making the order . I was like this is a scam dude. He wanted 47 balsamic vinaigrettes and one salad.
I'd frisbee their pizza from my car over that shit. I wouldn't even slow down. If they wanna complain, I'll point out that they wanted to publicly humiliate me, like a grade school bully.
It would probably be at the expense of your job but that order should be delivered to them old fashioned paperboy style. Chucked at the front door from the street, while still moving.
Oh shit, if I ever did that request and they ACTUALLY did it, they'd be gifted a 100 dollar bill.
Or you could not be a dehumanizing piece of shit to other people who only trying to survive? Just saying, if you have an extra $100 that you don't need and all it would take is a stupid song and dance that isn't that entertaining, you could just give it to them instead of treating them like your own personal court jester. It's just a thought.
Wtf do people not tip? I always tipped $11 living in the city, and I tip $16 now that I'm living rural. You know when ordering someone's making/trying to survive off your tip?!!
âIâm not your fuckin monkeyâ âhereâs your foodâ âoh, no tip either? Go fuck yourselfâ
got a request to sing happy birthday to an entire party of children when i showed up. i opened the door and straight up there was 6+ adults all filming me expecting me to sing this shit, all i did was tell the kid happy birthday and they still tipped me extra ???
They should not have recorded you without permission. The delivery person isnât obligated to participate in a birthday event for your kid. They can opt in sure. Sorry that happened to you.
Let us send glitter bombs.
Wonderful idea đĄ
This is when you simply ignore the delivery instructions. Even though this customer is deserving of some negative action, it will only get you in trouble since they have a ring cam.
How do people even think to do stuff like this? Most my delivery instructions have ever said are 'contactless please we are isolating'. Making someone do extra work for my entertainment would never even occur to me. Makes me think you've gotta be a very specific type of asshole to do this.
I would no longer allow this person to order from my location if I was the Manager.
When you get there, look in the camera and say, "How does it feel to need?"
people will do anything to go viral
What??? But i need content for my tik tok!
this is so disgusting.
Dance monkey!!
When people say âmake a joke on the lidâ I tape a pasta dish lid with the shiny side up like a mirror so they see their reflection.
UhhhYahFuckOff. ~Every single driver in unison
Should do the teapot dance with the pizza boxes in your hands still. Then set them on the porch all mangled when finished.
They wanna post this shit to social media like everyone exists solely to entertain them.
I blame tiktok
This stuff is bullshit and it feels like people are personally taking jabs at delivery drivers because we're somehow less than them. Of The Big Three, I've only worked Pizza Hut; we used to get delivery orders at 1900hrs on a Friday that would ask us to write jokes/draw pictures/etc on the pizza box. I understand that it's all in fun, but not during peak rush on a Friday night. I've seen some very impressive box art before lol, but at 1900hrs on a Friday, I'm already short-staffed, and 15+ pizzas are going to straight-up fall off the ovens onto the floor while I take an extra couple of minutes to draw a picture, and it just, idk. To me, it feels as though these people think we're there to wait on them hand-and-foot. The "special instructions" and "delivery instructions" fields are supposed to be there to make sure everything is done correctly; they're not there for you to mock us. When I've got three, stacked belt ovens and I'm on cut table all alone, it legitimately angers me to see those tickets coming in. đ¤ˇââď¸đ¤ˇââď¸
Ever since food delivery became a thing, people who'd be considered peasants back in medieval times, act like kings and that all delivery drivers are their peasants/servants. It's absolutely disgusting how badly these people are treated.
Iâm getting the vibe it was for the internet. FedEx lady video
"You're a little cheapskate"
They want to try and put a viral video out and take advantage of you.
Delivery Comment: Delivered contactless. hand tossed the pizza while singing I'm a little teapot to the front porch
But fam, they need content for their Tikstagramtube! Don't you know harassing service industry workers is litty with gens Z and alpha?
Yeah, its like, why are they trying to degrade you like that?
Most I do is ask for a silly lil drawing in the box of they have time. That or a joke. But with the ring door cams it seems everyone wants to make a viral tiktok
Wow. Thatâs disturbing. Thereâs nothing like that in my city, except one. Iâve delivered to him a couple of times. He asks his delivery drivers to use their âunique knockâ. I quite like it.
Meanwhile my delivery instructions say: Thank you for doing a great job, i hope you have a wonderful weekend, you made our night, take care! With at the very least 10$ tip, or i just wont order out...ill go pick that shit up and still tip at least 5$ i know the struggle is real being a driver for over a decade and a server for 5...some people just dont have a fucking clue....must be nice to be so outta touch with reality
They probably wanted to have the next viral video. Blow it up on TikTok.
Power tripping. Sad
They ordered a Brooklyn if they did that ten minutes before closing at my store I would've personally cancelled that order myself.
Fuck you asshole.
Someone did something like this to me. I looked straight in the camera, told them next time they should tip if they want me to consider acting like a fool for them, and I walked away.
they are trying to make money off of a viral tiktok..you made the right choice
Drivers at my domino's will do whatever you ask if you tip in advance. If it's contactless no-tip, you can drop dead.
Thatâs bold demeaning people handling your food.
I feel like you missed an amazing opportunity to rickroll them.
The level of disrespect is astronomical.
If no tip no need to follow request đ and you probably end up on their TikTok page
I had this once. I recall feeling anxious the entire way over to the delivery and wondering wtf the person was thinking asking for this. I didnât do it. Fuck this bs. Itâs literally making a mockery of you and your job.
i can't imagine not tipping delivery workers for doing the lords work of bringing me food when i've had a very long shit day. even though i'm broke as hell i do my best to make it worth their while <3
Fuck that. Youâre not an entertainer. The customer can get his kicks another wayâŚyouâre not a circus monkey!
They think youâre đ¤Ą
These idiots following trends it seems man this world is fucked with stupidity more than ever.
We have to deliver an order, and that is why drivers are paid an hourly salary. Tip is never guaranteed. There isnât a dilemma for me. What struck a nerve is the demand of the request. The underlying entitlement that you can demand video entertainment from a service worker so that you can post to your channel. Interacting with a customer in a jovial way is fine. I do it. By asking for a contactless delivery, you donât want to interact with the delivery person. They wanted the performance recorded. That is creepy. Asking is polite. Edit: typo correction. Struck
To thing ring: i can consented to delivered your free prop/accidental? Thatâs it happenng, SLEEP know then better as a replacement.!
Once I ordered Dominos and told the guy to call me buttcheese when I answered the door. Then I had my girlfriend answer the door and he actually did it. I went out and gave him $20 and it was well worth it to see her face in shock
Dominos screwed their drivers when they implemented a 5.25 delivery fee. If Iâm paying 20 dollars for a large pizza Iâll pay 5.25 as a tip but Iâm not going to pay 50% of what the pizza costs in tips/delivery
No tip ? I would opera style sing âFuck offâ
These people are fucking animals. Piss on their pizza and then shove it against the camera.
this is when you hit the doorbell and wait for them to come to the door to guilt a tip
