Doordash Delivery Driver Lies About Tip, Woman Reports Driver


While we of course respect the hustle, and certainly during these hard times, it's just extremely uncool to lie when it comes to how much you've been tipped. This Doordash delivery driver had the audacity to spew a little bit about how they weren't given their tip, and then the woman on the other end of the interaction decided to report them. It seems like she's worried about being a Karen, but honestly it seems like her reaction wasn't melodramatic at all.

Text - AITA for reporting my delivery driver? Not the A-hole Last night I was exhausted from work and forgot to thaw any meat, so I ordered Doordash for dinner. I gave a $4 tip on a $12 order. When my food arrived, my roommate opened the door as I was in the bathroom. I heard my roomie ask the driver "did she tip you on the app?" AND THE DRIVER SAID NO! My roomie gave them a few bucks we keep by the front door for situations just like this and sent them on their way. When I got out of the bathro

Text - I can respect hustle, and honestly even if she had said yes, my roomie and I are the type to tip extra as long as we're able, my roomie still probably would have given them a few extra bucks. The fact she (the delivery driver) lied is what really got to me. I reached out to a friend who delivers for DD and asked "hey, are you able to see when people tip you on the app for a delivery?" and she informed me that yes, you see the tip and you see how much and it's very clearly marked. She said

Text - So, I informed my roomie that she was getting a bad review, and they told me l'm "being a Karen". I can understand why they feel this way, especially in a pandemic, but that's an even bigger reason I want to leave a negative review. We're in the middle of a pandemic!! Yes, my roomie and I could afford a $7 tip, but not everyone can. So, reddit, please help me out here. If l'm in the wrong, I'l give 5*'s (maybe 4?) and l'll simply submit a request to never be paired with them as a delivery

Text - shuttingup711 • 1d 1 Award I drive for Doordash and you CANNOT see if they tipped or even how much they tipped UNTIL you deliver and close out the order. If a $4 order pops up it could be $4 base pay with no tip or a $2 base pay with $2 tip. You never ever know how much the tip actually is until you close the order (or if you wanna waste 10 min contacting support to find out if they're is a tip but thats ridiculous and food would get cold.) After you close the order THEN it will show you

Text - Jane_the_Quene • 1d · Partassipant [2] NTA if you want to give a poor review. That's what the review system is for. But I don't know if it's worth it to give the delivery person a black mark around Christmas time during a pandemic when you're not positive it wasn't just a dumb mistake. You'll have to decide that for yourself. Q Reply 1 76 ...

Text - emeraldsandgold · 16h YTA. I know on Uber Eats here they don't get it it till a good while after my food has been delivered. I often get thanked for the tip hours later. Reporting is unnecessary over such a petty thing honestly. Especially when you don't know for a fact she was lying. Especially petty to folk bringing you food in the middle of a pandemic.... She's also busy and likely has many notifications to deal with and she perhaps did not remember, if she even knew about it. She has

Text - Shady-Pines_Ma · 22h YTA- I would go back and take the tip away instead of giving a bad review. Yes for Doordash and Uber Eats you can change the tip after delivery. It could have been an honest mistake and the driver wasn't paying attention if there was a tip or not, or confused it with a previous order, there is no way to know for sure. But reviews are a much bigger deal. If you take the tip on the app away, its done and over with without hurting anything. She said she didn't get a tip

Text - whynotmeow • 1d You want to get someone in trouble for $3? She could have misremembered from a different order and said no because of that. She could have over looked the tip in general from a busy night. You're assuming malice where you could just assume anything else. At the end of the day, people will tip what they want. A $7 tip could hurt someone, sure. But if they can't afford that kind of strain, they shouldn't be ordering out anyway. IMO YWBTA if you report her. Reply 1 14 3 ...

Text - Prize_Buddy9000 · 23h Do you hear yourself? You are LIVID because she said she didn't get tipped and got 3 extra bucks. The horrors. It isn't like these delivery drivers are make huge bucks. Depending on what service they use they might not see tips beforehand. Yes, it sucks that she lied but you don't know if it by mistake or she was trying to hustle you. You should have made it clear to your roommate that you tipped her already after you placed the order. You literally want to ruin some

Text - the_orig_princess • 1d YTA a little, I agree that this sucks and feeling taken advantage of is infuriating but it's really just $3. As for your roommate asking the driver if they were tipped, idk, that's super odd to me. It leaves room for so much awkwardness like this. I'd honestly say they're more TA than you here. | Reply 1 11 ...

Text - Tolerant-intolerance · 1d YTA if you report for three dollars for what is most likely a miscommunication. Just a bit of info, you don't see the tip before delivery, only after. They keep them hidden so people don't cherry pick but that also leaves us vulnerable to making .62 cents plus the three bucks dd pays us for going out of our way in a pandemic. Risking someone's livelihood and income over three dollars, whatever the reasoning, is harsh. Reply 1 46 ..

Text - Expletive-Deleted- · 19h YWBTA You don't know what was actually said. Just what your roommate reported. For all we know the driver may have said "I don't know" which is partially true. We don't see the tip until after it's marked as delivered. We can assume what the tip is based on the total offer amount but not the exact tip. If you tipped $4 the driver probably got $7 total. Just leave it alone, your roommate did a nice thing either way. Source: i am a DD driver. Reply 4 4 ...

Text - NinjaPickleScribbles · 21h 100% NTA. I drive for DD and GH and would NEVER lie about receiving or not receiving a tip. Ever. The hustle is hard but that's why we are independent contractors - we have the right to accept or decline an offer based on amount paid and number of miles we have to drive for delivery. If the person wasn't satisfied with the tip + whatever base pay DD provided for the delivery, they shouldn't have taken the job. I'm sorry that was your experience. I would absolute

Text - SpaceWhiskey • 20h YTA. There is a chance the driver wouldn't have seen the tip until the transaction was finalized, despite what your friend said. And even if the driver lied, as you said yourself, we're in a fucking pandemic right now. It's not like you tipped her $50 and she was given another $50, you're this angry over $3. That makes you an asshole. You don't know what this person is going through and the fact that they're having to deliver food to someone who can afford not to have t
