Aren’t you supposed to tip for an exceptional service? Like if the food was supposed to be deliver in 20 minutes, but the delivery driver got it to you in 15? This just sounds like extortion.
No, you tip for adequate service in America. You’d tip a lot for exceptional service. You’d only not tip if the service worker completely blew it. The only time I’ve not tipped was when a waiter bombarded me with a political candidate’s campaign spiel right before bringing me the check. Practically held me hostage. That fucking guy didn’t get a cent.

It’s because of a legal exception that allows businesses to pay service employees below minimum wage. Then the customer subsidizes their wages with tips. So you tip service workers just for doing their job as a matter of course when you dine out. We don’t do it because it makes sense, we do it because we like eating at restaurants and that’s how eating at restaurants works. We could change it, but that would require a change in legislation and/or a mass boycott of all restaurants, and neither is likely to happen any time soon.
The delivery driver has 0 control over this.
Deja vu!
They do when they take multiple orders at multiple restaurants before delivering your food.
How does doing that shave 5 minutes off a 20 min ETA?
No idea what the time estimates are based on, but 20mins is a long time and food will certainly be cold was my point.
20->15 is not exceptional. 20->2-3 minutes is.
Usually yes, but then again, when you’re getting paid $7.50/hr, it’s essentially supplemental income.
