‘The entitlement is killing me’: Domino’s delivery driver asks customer for tip before handing them the pizza
Daily Dot ^ | Dec 13, 2022 | Rebekah Harding

Posted on 12/16/2022 12:04:24 PM PST by nickcarraway

'So you have a car? Come get it next time.'

A customer posted security camera footage of a Domino’s delivery driver asking them for a tip as they handed them a pizza in a now-viral TikTok, angering some people in the comments.

In the video posted by TikToker X (@user626366461) on Dec. 11, the Domino’s worker asks for a tip and when the person doesn’t immediately offer one, points out that the customer has a car. She then tells them to “drive” to get their pizza.

The customer explains to the driver that delivery is more for her “convenience” and says “have a good day” without handing them a tip.

“Come get it next time,” the worker says as they leave the porch.

The caption reads, “Umm…. The entitlement is killing me. #dominos come get your girl Absolutky the f not.”

The video got over 2.7 million views as of Dec. 13, with users split on who was in the wrong.

“STG get ur broke ahh on next time & go get it,” one commenter said, criticizing the customer.

“That’s embarrassing not to tip a driver,” another wrote.

However, others came to the customer’s defense, putting the driver on blast for asking for a tip before completing the delivery.

“If someone literally said ‘tip?’ to me before I had the chance to even reach in my pocket and grab it, I simply wouldn’t give it to her anymore,” one user wrote.

“I always tip. But the audacity to immediately say ‘tip??’ another said.

“Who asks for a tip BEFORE giving the pizza though? Lol,” a third added.

The user responded to some of the outrage on her video about not tipping by sharing a new video, telling the driver and others who were upset that they could learn to code.

One of the worst things about the US is tipping culture.

i bet i can call your boss before you get back to the store

What's the boss going to do?

Can't fire him. He's had a "help wanted" sign in the window for months and can't get anyone to show up to work.

That's the dilemma all of these places are in right now. It's why service sucks across the board.

Everyone is short-staffed, short-tempered, and they don't care if you don't like the service because what are you going to do about it? Make your own damn pizza?

Knock yourself out. That's the attitude.

Businesses should pay their employees a fair wage - let the customer decide if they want to add a tip. It shouldn’t be required.

We had an icecream place in my hometown and even the owner made the staff split their tips with the owner!

In restaurants I tip about 30-40%.

I'm old enough to remember if you gave the pizza delivery guy a buck, they were happy. If you gave them two bucks they were really happy!

The last time I ordered pizza delivery was a decade ago and I think I tipped five bucks.

It's probably ten bucks today (on top of the "delivery service charge" that never used to be there).

I really don't know. It's too expensive to order delivery and I won't stiff the driver so I always order carryout.

Some drivers forget what their job is, it is to deliver pizza.

A tip is nice and drivers expect to get some during the evening, but not at every house, and it is not a requirement.

When I call for delivery, I ask them to add the tip to the bill in advance. Much easier that way.

Ok that is way beyond. Yet a driver should get a decent tip.

Usually I pickup Domino’s, like on the way home from work. Am off today and got free pizza (I picked up) as I’d earned 60 pts
Domino’s rewards. Hot and good.
Have on occasion had delivered to my house if it’s a snowstorm and pd delivery charge plus a tip.

It looks like (as a way to encourage repeat business) they’re again doing “self pickup
tips”—you get a code for $3 off the following week if you pick up yourself.
Their soda is a bit marked up—I think $2.99 for 20 oz and $3.99 for 2 liter.

                      NICE GUY EDDIE
                Okay, everybody cough up green for
                the little lady.

       Everybody whips out a buck, and throws it on the table.
       Everybody, that is, except Mr. White.

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 C'mon, throw in a buck.

                              MR. WHITE
                 Uh-uh.  I don't tip.

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 Whaddaya mean you don't tip?

                              MR. WHITE
                 I don't believe in it.

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 You don't believe in tipping?

                              MR. PINK
                         (laughing)
                 I love this kid, he's a madman,
                 this guy.

                              MR. BLONDE
                 Do you have any idea what these
                 ladies make?  They make shit.

                              MR. WHITE
                 Don't give me that.  She don't
                 make enough money, she can quit.

       Everybody laughs.

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 I don't even know a Jew who'd have
                 the balls to say that.  So let's
                 get this straight. You never ever
                 tip?

                              MR. WHITE
                 I don't tip because society says I
                 gotta.  I tip when somebody
                 deserves a tip.  When somebody
                 really puts forth an effort, they
                 deserve a little something extra.
                 But this tipping automatically,
                 that shit's for the birds.  As far
                 as I'm concerned, they're just
                 doin their job.

                              MR. BLUE
                 Our girl was nice.

                              MR. WHITE
                 Our girl was okay.  She didn't do
                 anything special.

                              MR. BLONDE
                 What's something special, take ya
                 in the kitchen and suck your ****?

       They all laugh.

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 I'd go over twelve percent for
                 that.

                              MR. WRITE
                 Look, I ordered coffee.  Now we've
                 been here a long ****in time, and
                 she's only filled my cup three
                 times.  When I order coffee,  I
                 want it filled six times.

                              MR. BLONDE
                 What if she's too busy?

                              MR. WHITE
                 The words "too busy" shouldn't be
                 in a waitress's vocabulary.

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 Excuse me, Mr. White, but the last
                 thing you need is another cup of
                 coffee.

       They all laugh.

                              MR. WHITE
                 These ladies aren't starvin to
                 death.  They make minimum wage.
                 When I worked for minimum wage, I
                 wasn't lucky enough to have a job
                 that society deemed tipworthy.

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 Ahh, now we're getting down to it.
                 It's not just that he's a cheap
                 bastard--

                              MR. ORANGE
                 --It is that too--

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 --It is that too.  But it's also
                 he couldn't get a waiter job.  You
                 talk like a pissed off dishwasher:
                 "**** those ****s and their
                 ****ing tips."

                              MR. BLONDE
                 So you don't care that they're
                 counting on your tip to live?

       Mr. White rubs two of his fingers together.

                              MR. WHITE
                 Do you know what this is?  It's
                 the world's smallest violin,
                 playing just for the waitresses.

                              MR. BLONDE
                 You don't have any idea what
                 you're talking about.  These
                 people bust their ass. This
                 is a hard job.

                              MR. WHITE
                 So's working at McDonald's, but
                 you don't feel the need to tip
                 them.  They're servin ya food, you
                 should tip em.  But no, society
                 says tip these guys over here, but
                 not those guys over there.  That's
                 bullshit.

                              MR. ORANGE
                 They work harder than the kids at
                 McDonald's.

                              MR. WHITE
                 Oh yeah, I don't see them cleaning
                 fryers.

                              MR. BROWN
                 These people are taxed on the tips
                 they make.  When you stiff 'em,
                 you cost them money.

                              MR. BLONDE
                 Waitressing is the number one
                 occupation for female non-college
                 graduates in this country.  It's
                 the one jab basically any woman
                 can get, and make a living on.
                 The reason is because of tips.

                              MR. WHITE
                 **** all that.

       They all laugh.

                              MR. WHITE
                 Hey, I'm very sorry that the
                 government taxes their tips.
                 That's ****ed up.  But that ain't
                 my fault.  it would appear that
                 waitresses are just one of the
                 many groups the government ****s
                 in the ass on a regular basis.
                 You show me a paper says the
                 government shouldn't do that, I'll
                 sign it.  Put it to a vote, I'll
                 vote for it.  But what I won't do
                 is play ball.  And this non-
                 college bullshit you're telling
                 me, I got two words for that:
                 "Learn to ****in type."  Cause if
                 you're expecting me to help out
                 with the rent, you're in for a big
                 ****in surprise.

                              MR. ORANGE
                 He's convinced me.  Give me my
                 dollar back.

       Everybody laughs.  Joe's comes back to the table.

                              JOE
                 Okay ramblers, let's get to

                 Nope.

                              JOE
                         (to Mr. Orange)
                 Shut up!
                         (to Mr. White)
                 Cough up the buck, ya cheap
                 bastard, I paid for your goddamn
                 breakfast.

                              MR. WHITE
                 Because you paid for the
                 breakfast, I'm gonna tip.
                 Normally I wouldn't.

                              JOE
                 Whatever.  Just throw in your
                 dollar, and let's move.
                         (to Mr. Blonde)
                 See what I'm dealing with here.
                 Infants.  I'm ****in dealin with
                 infants.

there is already a delivery charge....the driver is getting paid......

the tipping has got way out of hand....

minimum wages are very high as it is....

btw, I tip good...but not in certain areas, like picking up fast food....

I tip at buffets a little bit...

I try to avoid tipping situations for the most part...its a hidden tax..
