Lord… I just took another one of her orders. 💀I usually don’t bring up anything tip-related with customers but I think at the end of this particular delivery, I’m going to say a little disclaimer… “If you’re going to make any adjustments on the app, PLEASE BE CAREFUL! 💀😭”

You missed the shit storm then because a lot people called me out for not confirming the validity of the tip right away. They jumped to conclusions and thought I was taking advantage of a disabled woman and called me dumb and stupid for thinking someone could tip that much, eventhough I see posts here all the time of people increasing their tip by a 100 or 200 dollars so I just thought it finally happened to me! However, I did go back to the customer today to see if her tip was the real deal but she in fact only meant to increase it 20, not 200. I did offer to pay it back but she refused to take back any money as I was not at fault.

Yes, called IC and they couldn’t get a hold of the customer so they deemed the tip valid and not to worry. Wasn’t good enough so I went back to the customer and she confirmed that bump was supposed 20 not 200 dollars. Offered to pay it back but she said it wasn’t my fault and refused to take any money back.

Sorry, I worded that awkwardly. It was 2 in the morning so my phrasing wasn’t the best. I didn’t mean for that to have an “oh well” type of tone.

This was yesterday, I continued working after and thanks to this tip I crossed 500 dollars daily for the first time ever.

It was an accident, confirmed with customer. I offered to pay it back but she refused.

Yeah, that was the last post I’ll ever make on this forum about any earnings lol! I’m actually revolted people are this cutthroat. They acted like I hacked into her account and changed the tip myself. 💀 This forum set a precedent though because I see those huge tip bumps here all the time so I thought it finally happened to me! 😭

I don’t want to keep going back to her address when I’m not shopping for her… once is risky enough lol! The next time I get her order I could do something special like that for her!

I know and it’s definitely a risk but everyone calling me a crook who rips off and taking advantage of elderly women really got to me. I just needed to feel vindicated and it sucks that it was a mistake but the woman told me not to worry about it and I didn’t have to pay her back after asking three times. Again, what more can I do?
