>>510001988before card automation/electronic payments you had to order over the phone, and then you had to pay in cash at the door. If you didn't have the money, the driver would just leave and you might even get blacklisted from the restaurant if that happened often.
Since both the order and the payment is done digitally now, the tipping that should be done after the delivery is just implied to be part of the experience (culturally perhaps). If you don't tip, or worse, plan to tip after they arrive, there is a chance that a fuckhead like
>>510001356 (OP) will see that they received no tip before leaving the store, fucking with your food, and then you giving them a tip after the fact without your knowledge.
Tipping culture is fucking stupid as shit because actual good servers and delivery people get fucked, deadbeats and niggers dont tip and complain anyways, rich fucks demand exceptional service, and the successful restaurants that are pulling in shitloads of profits don't have to pay their servers/drivers a full wage. It's actually making me angry the more I think about it, considering how dysgenic the world is getting and how abysmal service jobs are becoming.
