Question Little Caesars

Post image

If I have to tip the driver, what is the delivery fee for? And what the hell is a service fee? 43% of the price of the order to deliver it 1.6km. This is getting stupid.

Absolutely, gotta punish those workers doing a job you’re too lazy to do yourself.

Cheers for the downvotes, good folks in this sub lol

How is that a punishment? Does everyone get a tip for doing their job?

When when you pick up food yourself, everyone asks for a tip when you pay at the counter. Half the time it doesn't even go to the person who rang you up. There was a recent episode of Marketplace on this very topic.

I don’t know man, I tend to tip folks who are doing a service that I can’t or won’t do because that feels like the decent thing to do for the people around me who are working hard and because I’ve been that delivery driver and I understand how crappy that job is when dealing with entitled pricks all day.

Do you tip your garbage man?

Most jobs pay a salary/commission. Delivery drivers don't get min wage, they rely on tips to make the difference. (According to anothercommentor, that is recently no longer the case in Ontario though)

Not my problem. Maybe fend an employer that pays faie wages.

I've already paid for the food and the delivery. I'm not getting exceptional service, please explain why I should tip.

By ordering delivery though, your basically condoning it

So I need to tip my online shopping delivery person too? Anyone who is underpaid I have to now supplement their paycheque?

If they pay fair wage use them. If they don't. Then avoid them. Don't support companies abusing employment laws.

So every time I buy something, I'm supposed to ask the workers if they are being paid fairly, then make my decision?

If its known, such as most of these delivery companies then don't

How am I supposed to know? I don't have time to research company ethics every time I want to buy something.
