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.

A spokesperson for DoorDash said a delivery driver had been removed from their platform in connection with the incident.

    I’m aware. I was hoping people would understand sarcasm without an explicit /s but sigh

      We seem to have brought a lot of try-hards that just want to argue and can’t see obvious sarcasm.

        There are cases where sarcasm doesn’t come through, because it’s only clear that it’s either sarcastic or crazy. And there’s a lot of crazy in the internet.

        But i did feel this was clearly sarcastic.

      Dude, people are walking around believing that shit. Parody doesn’t work when the extreme just has the same take.

        We get it

        I see three users in this thread not getting it. And the OP is replying to one of 'em. Not sure if you’re blind or just want to be a prick mate, but if its the latter leave that attitude on Reddit yeh?
