So what do you guys tip GrubHub and other drivers? I think it is such BS that they calculate the tip based on how much the food is, like the driver has anything to do with that. I’d much rather see some kind of time and distance estimator. I don’t think the delivery fee is enough to support the driver, correct?
Delivery people for some reason have a problem with my address sometimes and go to the wrong block, so when a food delivery guy ended up on the wrong block and I could see it on the app I went out to the street and waved him down. He got to my house and start spouting off and I just said something like what’s wrong with you. He starts yelling and cursing and saying that he’s not gonna deliver my food. I told him chill out I’ll go inside you can drop off the food by the door and everything is cool. He comes and sits down the food bitching about it the whole time. When he Leaves he gets about 10 yards away I open up the door To get the food and just go what the hell is wrong with you dude. He explodes, turns around and starts walking towards me, and picks up a small end table we have on the front of our house porch and starts screaming at me.
Now the guy is about 5 foot four and 100 pounds, and English is not his first language. He screaming at me “I call police for you, Ice Hole” I’m thinking that’s fine with me? You think I’d be code red at this point, but it’s almost so comical I’m just standing there with the food bags in one hand dismissively waving him off with the other one telling him to just go away. He eventually puts down the table curses all the way back to the car and leaves.
Meanwhile I didn’t realize that my teenage son inside has gone completely code red. Luckily for the guy he leaves before my son can do anything. The funny thing was is that throughout the whole thing besides being annoyed I never was actually angry or felt threatened in a meaningful way. I know that’s kind of stupid actually.
The best part was is that my home security cameras caught the whole thing. When I contacted the food delivery company, and I forget which one it was, they were really very slow to react. When I finally got a text the next day I told them that they had until 5 PM to contact me, or else I was going to the police. I got some low level lawyer on the line, who is being fairly dismissive until I sent her a link to the Home video camera footage. I can hear her watching the video over the phone, and then the first words out of her mouth were “Oh my God“. She said she was terminating employment of that guy as of right then, and would fully support me going the police if I wanted to. I said that wasn’t necessary, and I think they gave me a free delivery. This was back during the Covid and riot times, and the last thing I wanted to do was get on the news or make a stink about it because of the optics.
Home security cameras are pretty good for their intended purpose, but they also make great witnesses. That is the third time that having video evidence made things perfectly clear as to what happened without any kind of noise. It’s great fun to have people tell their side of the story, and then roll the tape. Or even just tell them that you have a recording, and watch the blood drain out of their face.
Ah, 2020.

It's that simple.
