This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Does delivery not cost extra over there? Here we have a delivery fee, that's your "how much is laziness worth to you" charge, and tips aren't expected anywhere.

Good. We shouldn't start that shit what's going on in the US. That's why I never tip, unless it's a really, really, exceptionally good service when they went out of their way to handle me.

Ignoring the fact that ordering online or with an app asks you to tip before the service actually happens, I don't even know what exceptionally good delivery service would look like. I'm paying someone to drop food off next to my door within a certain time frame, there's no way they can do it any better and a million ways to do it worse. Tipping deliveries is nuts. Thankfully I recently moved out of the suburbs and now have dozens of restaurants in walking distance, so I never use Doordash or whatever any more anyway.

I meant tipping in general. Of course with delivery, there is no room for anything exceptional. Therefore it's exactly zero tip every time from me, they are doing their job. But fortunately tipping here is not expected, that's what their salaries are for.

Not tipping delivery sucks.
