Yea, it's wild. I wonder if they know it doesn't make sense or if they truly believe it's a good analogy.

Who pays you to move the rock? What's the starting wage? Are there raises? What company is in the pointless rock-moving business? Who's the CEO? Are there any workers on the board?

Oh wait, none of those are answerable because moving a rock isn't a payed job? Lol I hope they know how bad that looks.

You're right. I'm basing my judgement off of life experience and intuition. It's literally 50/50 whether or not op tipped the driver or not. Based on what's available I'd put money on not though.

Right. My point is that without context, there’s no good way to know if the driver is overreacting or if OP should have expected frustration from the driver. Seems unfair to just assume OP left a “bad tip” - bad by the driver’s standards, clearly, but maybe not bad in a general sense.

You're right he's not expecting to see six figures. I'd say around $1.50 a mile or a minimum of $5 for closer deliveries.These guys are paid $2.25-$2.50 per delivery by the company. The rest comes from tips. I was doing it for a few months to make some extra cash and I can tell you these companies need to be investigated because they wll 100% shut you down by spamming no tip orders at you for a couple of hours if you turn down too many low or no tip deliveries.

A ton. But I’m also not in a position where I am exploring food delivery as a way to generate income. My guess is this person isn’t expecting to make six figures from delivering food. His definition of bad is different than mine.

Working hard does not equal valuable work.

I could take a rock and move it around my yard 40 hours a week, yeah I'm working my ass off, but I'm not bringing value to anyone.

We pay for labor the most accurately way we've ever found, by individuals deciding for themselves how much they are willing to pay for the labor, and how much the individual laborer is willing to do the work for. If you have a better way to figure that out down to an individual level I'd sure love to hear it.

The government deciding how much to charge and pay for jobs they know nothing about doesn't make any sense though, that's why communism keeps failing.

I am a communist.

And you sound like the president of your Jr. High Republicans club.

Are you capable of seeing the disingenuous in your analogy? I hope you can. Because I genuinely hope you aren't trying to navigate this world with such poorly developed reasoning skills.

All work is valuable? What if I take a rock and move it from one side of my property to the other, and then back over and over for 40 hours a week?

Not all work is valuable, and not all jobs are equally valuable.

Admitting to basic logic isn't traitorous no matter how badly you want to pretend. You sound like a communist lol.
