What’s an acceptable tip for a driver who delivers a $20 pizza?

A TikTok video purporting to show a DoorDash delivery driver in Texas swearing at a customer over the $5 tip she gave him has gone viral, sparking fresh online debate over tipping culture in the U.S.

“I just want to say it’s a nice house for a $5 tip,” the driver can be heard saying as he walks away from a home in the door camera video posted to TikTok earlier this week by a user under the name Lacey Purciful.

“You’re welcome!” the resident says, appearing surprised by the remark. “F*** you,” the driver responds before walking away.

A spokesperson for DoorDash said a delivery driver had been removed from their platform in connection with the incident.

      And? I’m just pointing out people “having a bad day” to excuse poor behavior

        I don’t see how these stories are being mixed together.

        He said fuck you which is a dick move

        She made a false police report which is a crime.

        Putting these two together is making a false equivalency

          I’m not comparing the acts at all which are clearly very different in severity, I’m highlighting that some people tried to excuse the behavior of both as merely having “a bad day” while I am of the opinion these are clear signs of who they are as a person rather than a “normal” (I know that’s subjective) person simply having “a bad day” - it was said in one of the above comments I replied to earlier which is why my comments all hinge on the “bad day” excuse.
