Exactly. I understand the industry sucks, but we've allowed it to become what it is (When was the last time you heard/saw employees go on strike? No one can afford to strike anymore and are forever backed into a corner/reliant on scraps to make ends meet).

We all need to relentlessly pressure our congressmen to end this toxic American tip culture

The disgruntled employee should bring their grievances to... Their employer then.

Enough disgruntled employees is how change will happen. How would less delivery demand change tip based system?

Seriously. OP is completely delusional. "The bad service will continue until tipping improves?" Fuck that, I'll be going literally anywhere else that'll actually deliver what I order without sabotage.

And it's not just delivering cold food, either. OP flippantly gloats about spitting in people's food. During a pandemic.

Serious question. Does anybody know who OP drives for, so we can report them for being a sentient health code violation? My dad is sick with cancer, so immunocompromised. He orders delivery sometimes. If I found out that OP had spit in his food for any reason, there would exist no walls on this earth that would protect OP from my wrath.

Do you think it's only a hypothesis? My good friend is forever traumatized since it happened to a guy he was with. Imagine mixing gelatin which is an animal byproduct with sugar, setting it on fire and pouring it in your eye. Yeah, its fucking horrible.

American tip culture is incredibly toxic and needs to come to an end. We all need to pressure our congressmen; employees need to be paid/guaranteed a minimum wage.

It isn't the customers responsibility to decide if a worker gets to eat/pay rent/etc... That's their employers job to pay their staff.

T.I.P.S. To Insure Prompt Service. Except people take it as an offense when you don't hand out free cash. Employees like OP are why I don't trust people around my food. The system sucks and screws workers over, and if I don't attempt to make it right, the shit trickles down to me.

Vaguely related (only that it involves sound and tape and the word "peace")

Huh...

I was visiting a a friend over a weekend. They are Roman Catholic, so I thought it was polite to attend Sunday Mass with them. Anyway a few folks to my left in the pew there was an loudly annoying child. At the end of the Mass the priest suggested that the folks in the pews should sort of greet one another and say something like "Peace be unto you". The person adjacent to the annoying child hauled out a roll of duct tape, ripped off a strip, taped it to the child's mouth and proclaimed "Peace be unto you".

Most, if not all, of the folks in the church then exclaimed "Hallelujah!" and "Amen!"
