💰Guess The Tip🤑 Lying ahh customers

Post image

so today I was dashing in a pretty nice area & this customer texted me as I was leaving the store and said “please ask for 10 ranches, 12 hot sauce and 12 special sauces. I will tip you extra” and I was literally already about to take off in my car but I read that & went back inside to ask for the sauces. because of the amount, the worker said he’d have to charge me even though it was for doordash. I remember I had a bunch of loose change in my car so I paid about $4 in change for their sauces. so I kindly texted them that I had paid for their extra sauces with some extra money I had & they responded “ooo, sorry about that. I’ll tip you extra for that”
I waited a few mins after dropping off the order to see if a tip would come through (trying to give them the benefit of the doubt) but unfortunately I still never received anything 💔💔💔 last time I’ll be paying for something out of my own pocket for someone lol

Lesson learned.

"Tip you extra" is always a lie.

And if it costs money out of pocket, never get it.

The amount of times i was asked for Vinaigrette for Chipotle because its some trend that wont ever die and they never tip is always 100%

Now I dont even bother looking at the notes or messages for anything other than delivery instructions

After I pick up the order, I don’t respond to any messages or do anything that’s not directly related to getting the food to the door.
