    I have no problem tipping, I have a problem with DoorDash and Grubhub calculating the tip on the total bill with all their fees included.

    I have no problem tipping 20% with a $4 minimum, but it’s going to be based on the meal I ordered, not your bullshit service fees.

      Gonna be real boss, as a driver for DD, delivery drivers don’t care what you ordered. They care about mileage, pickup & drop off times, and stairs. A $5 tip will cover most sane orders. $10 will usually cover insane orders / stairs.

      If you’re concerned about timing, tip $5 and then text them when they are assigned the order and let them know it is time sensitive and that you’ll add cash tip on arrival for prompt delivery.
