If you hate tipping delivery people, drivers for Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash want you to consider these 4 main arguments why you should anyway
Some commenters in the Times article argued that delivery drivers shouldn't expect to be tipped at the same rate as restaurant staff.
"At a restaurant, the waiter shows up, takes your order, right? What is that waiter doing? Is he or she cooking the food? No, that waiter actually is picking up the food and bringing it to you and their job is pretty much done. So what are we doing as a delivery driver, we're pretty much doing the same thing.
But according to Avedian, customers should recognize the value of gig workers' service and tip them anyway."You can push a button. Your stuff is going to show up, but what happens in between?" he said."Somebody has to bring the food to you until these robots take over, or drones, or whatever they're dreaming about. Without drivers there is no gig economy."
Avedian said that unfortunately, these conditions are unlikely to change to benefit drivers. That's because the supply of drivers is at an all-time high, which he attributes to people trying to do whatever they can to earn some extra cash and survive financially. And this massive supply, he said, is also making it easier for the companies to pay drivers less.
"The problem here is,"Who's going to pay the driver's wage?" he said."The apps aren't."The client is the one who puts this chain into motion, so taking into consideration that the apps are looking another way, the client should pay. It is not fair, but somebody should pay for the driver's costs."
