This is to ANYONE who uses a delivery service....
whether it be DoorDash, Postmates, UberEats, Grubhub, Instacart, Shipt, etc...make sure you TIP your delivery courier. Remember it is a SERVICE.
Please be mindful that these ESSENTIAL workers are:
not only driving to the establishment to retrieve your order
they are dealing with possible long lines
waiting for your order as it is still be prepared or shopping for your items
confirming your order is complete
placing your order it in a insulated travel bag for safe transport & temperature control
dealing with traffic to deliver your order in a timely manner
all while providing friendly & excellent customer service with a base pay of $2.00-$3.50 base pay per delivery.
Your tips help them not only earn a somewhat DECENT wage, but also helps them with their business expenses (i.e., fuel, car maintenance, car insurance, carwash, car registration, etc.) so they can continue to provide these services.
I use these services & on the flip side provide these services and nothing is more frustrating than to get an order, get to a restaurant and have to wait 10 minutes, FINALLY get the order, than arrive at an apartment complex 3.5 miles out & have your app NOT bring you to the EXACT location, so now your frantically searching to find the apartment in the allotted time frame, deliver it and see that you did ALL THAT for $2.50 base pay and NO TIP. 😠
We're all doing what we can to make ends meet & trying our best to navigate our way safely through this covid crisis. So again, just be mindful & kind.🙏🏼
