Hello friends and followers. This is The Joshua. Please remember to like, share, discuss, follow, and donate if you can. If you have something that you need to promote or share with people, drop me some moolah and I’ll do a little commercial or something. So what I want to talk about today is, how much should you tip a person who is door dashing or working for Grubhub or Uber Eats or basically a lot of people in the gig economy, maybe even Instacart. Because there seems to be a lot of confusion and as far as the tipping goes for people bringing your food to you, they just don’t know how to do it right. A lot of people think, know, 15% is like a regular tip or whatever. 20% is like a generous tip. Yeah, that’s true. Maybe if you’re in a restaurant, but the waitress isn’t driving the food to your table in her own vehicle and paying for the gas to do it. So no, absolutely not. The tip should approximate $20 an hour minimum. Period. End of story. And it’s fine. If you got like a $4 tip, $5 tip, and you live like a mile, two miles away from the restaurant, perfect. Good on you. But if it’s 10 mile drive out into the boonies, 20 minute drive, 10 mile drive out into the boonies. When I get out there, I’m not gonna be getting any calls for deliveries, not until I drive back into range. So that’s 40 minutes of my time that you have taken. So if it’s a $10 tip, I’m approximating about $10 an hour. Think about that. Now if I’m lucky, I’ll get another $10 tip in that 20 minutes. Or maybe two $5 tips. But that’s not usually the way things work. And then another factor, if it’s nighttime, the person is driving at night in the winter when it’s raining, you might want to be a little bit more considerate. Just saying, just to give you some perspective. I know it’s a relatively new technology and all that kind of stuff. But honestly, some people are just dicks. They know they’re giving you a crappy tip and the company should do something about that. There should be like a basic rate, right? And here’s another thing. Like if you were getting paid, like you can, you can choose on some of these things. You can choose to pay, get paid like hourly. So the hourly wage, depending on where you are, from what I’ve heard, one person said it was $13, somebody else said it was like $16, and it depends on the time, because it’s like they pay different depending on the time. But that’s not a living wage, especially not for a delivery driver. So you can potentially get like cash tips on top of the hourly pay, which assumes that the person is actually going to tip you in cash, which is not frequently the case. Just some things to think about.
