What’s an acceptable tip for a driver who delivers a $20 pizza?

A TikTok video purporting to show a DoorDash delivery driver in Texas swearing at a customer over the $5 tip she gave him has gone viral, sparking fresh online debate over tipping culture in the U.S.

“I just want to say it’s a nice house for a $5 tip,” the driver can be heard saying as he walks away from a home in the door camera video posted to TikTok earlier this week by a user under the name Lacey Purciful.

“You’re welcome!” the resident says, appearing surprised by the remark. “F*** you,” the driver responds before walking away.

    That does not mean you should. If you’re going to order small, you should tip big and I don’t think that is remotely controversial?

    I don’t see why that wouldn’t be controversial. You’re thinking of just wealthy people and not middle class. I would be losing money every month paying premium for small orders. I know this because i’ve done this for months (was very sick for awhile).

    And since I still believe in tipping people because I understand that they’re not being paid even minimum wage, I opted to just not order at all now.
