I was doing Uber Eats deliveries and got this massive grocery order that probably took up half my car. When I got to the house, the customer starts chatting me up about how grateful they are, how I “made their day,” and asks if I could help unload the groceries into their kitchen. Normally I would’ve just left the bags at the door and bounced, but they kept hinting about a big tip, so I figured fine, I’ll help. I carried bag after bag inside while they kept thanking me like I was doing some heroic act. Then they hand me this envelope and give this whole speech about how kind and generous I was and how they really appreciate the effort. At that point I’m thinking okay, this is probably going to be worth it. The order itself was huge, easily around $300 worth of groceries, and I basically did half the unloading for them. So I take the envelope, say thanks, and head home feeling pretty good about it. When I finally open the envelope, it’s $25. Twenty five dollars. After all that talking about how I “made their day” and helping them haul their entire grocery order inside like I’m their personal assistant. That’s basically nothing. If your order is $300 and someone is doing all that extra work, at least make it worth their time. Honestly they should’ve given something like $150. I mean sure, technically I just unloaded groceries, but if you’re going to hype up a tip like that, don’t hand me what’s basically pocket change. Credit - Angela mae
