I’ve noticed in multiple topics over the last few days in other subreddits, people uploading the picture their delivery drivers did for them (after they included wanting one in their orders), or asking them to write a joke on the pizza box. Anybody who points out that this is wrong and minimum wage workers aren’t your performing monkeys, gets downvoted into absolute oblivion and called bores or insulted as whining babies.
For a job that relies on tips, adding facetious instructions like these to your order is a form of coercion, the driver has to feel that if they don’t do as instructed they will lower their chances of a tip, and increase their chances of a bad review or social media takedown.
Surely I’m not the only one who feels this is toxic as fuck and has to stop? Get your pizza, tip your driver and fuck off. Thank you.
