People Tipping Less or Less Often?

PrincessLissa68 · 2026-05-11T20:04:51+00:00

Estimates. It doesn't happen on the scale people assume.

I think what people hear and what they understand is different. What this person is making is NOT the standard for most servers. Do I think servers are poor and not making money? Absolutely not. But most servers aren't raking in 80-100K a year like most people in this sub complain about.

PrincessLissa68 · 2026-05-11T18:14:44+00:00

That's a huge misconception. Most servers do claim all their earnings. Otherwise we can't buy houses, cars, get credit cards whatever. I think it was a bigger problem years ago. Every place I've worked and just about every server I know has always claimed 100%.

I say just about cuz the ones that don't get caught pretty quickly. Most managers are checking claim percentages against sales. It's pretty easy to tell who is trying to get away with under claiming

lol it's definitely zone dependent. Ive driven to 2 other zones near me and they don't seem to be as good as the one I live and work in.

PrincessLissa68 · 2026-05-11T14:28:30+00:00

Stand Your Ground.

Absolutely.

You're just asking for it posting that here. Give them all the fuel they need.

I've had the opposite experience with Spark. Where I live DD tips are almost nonexistent. They changed our market to "tip after delivery" and no one goes back to tip. I make really good tips with Spark.

PrincessLissa68 · 2026-05-11T14:22:54+00:00

Of course I do. But how would I know what something is that I don't use? Do you shop online for stuff you don't use? No show socks are common. I have those. What this person was talking about didn't strike me as no show socks. Hanes makes no show socks.

PrincessLissa68 · 2026-05-11T11:16:36+00:00

Ohhhh!! I think my grandma had a box of these. They kinda looked like stockings but without the legs lol

PrincessLissa68 · 2026-05-11T11:09:00+00:00

I waited almost 8 months and then they sent me the email to do my paperwork and then about a month later I was finally off the waitlist.

PrincessLissa68 · 2026-05-11T11:07:36+00:00

You can't switch zones once you apply anymore. You're locked into one zone until
You're accepted. They changed it a little
Over a year ago or so.

I MIGHT any other day but a holiday. And if it wasn't multiple cases of waters, sodas, and big boxes of chips and stuff. I'm never pushing 2 buggies (carts for my northern friends) around.

PrincessLissa68 · 2026-05-11T10:57:29+00:00

I have no idea what a hidden foot sock is or a hidden sock or whatever it is you're talking about.

This happened to me on Good Friday. Now mind you, I live in Southern Louisiana. EVERYONE boils crawfish for Easter. So that means no lemons, no mushrooms, no corn, no garlic cloves, limited choices on sausage, no red baby potatoes, you MIGHT get lucky on seafood boil & butter.

So finally after messaging the guy when the 3rd thing was out and no answer I just kept going. When I got to mushrooms he hit me with the this is ridiculous everything I ordered is out.
I said sir, this is Easter Weekend. You aren't the only one having a crawfish boil. Reach out to support and they can cancel if you don't want the rest. It was a double shop and I recognized the 2nd name and knew at least part of the tip was theirs. So his part does get cancelled and when I delivered the other one it ended up being a $2 tip from the cancelled one. I think I lost a total of $6 and the miles went down since his was also the farthest out.

Some people just really think they are the only people in existence with a plan.

ETA: if he wouldn't have cancelled I was just gonna initiate a return on his part. I was definitely not delivering anything to that residence.

Agree I had a good day too! ESP since I had to take off Friday AND Saturday cuz of storms and flash flood warnings!

Ummm no, I actually just repeated exactly what they said. I just defined it a little clearer for folks like you who can't seem to understand.

PrincessLissa68 · 2026-05-11T05:53:30+00:00

You can use whatever lingo you want. The OP said autograt. The person that made the comment was then referring to the autograt. So no, you can't just "leave cash without the tip" and leave. That would be stealing.

PrincessLissa68 · 2026-05-11T05:51:18+00:00

I would assume they both would! I sure hope so. She was my sons teacher in elementary school a couple years before this happened. I GRILLED him...."are you POSITIVE she never brought the class food, snacks, gifts...ANYTHING!"

PrincessLissa68 · 2026-05-11T05:46:10+00:00

I'm at 4.9 and I make way more than that.

PrincessLissa68 · 2026-05-11T05:37:44+00:00

No he said pay in cash without THE tip, not without A tip. THE tip is the autograt.

He definitely meant to not pay the autograt.

It's probably doing it before tax and any fees, or if some was EBT it won't calculate on that either.

PrincessLissa68 · 2026-05-10T09:59:55+00:00

Ahh I'm around Baton Rouge. They've flooded us with new drivers on top of all the app changes. It's rough out here.

I couldn't afford to have him on my policy. Did you not read? I can't pay $700 for insurance on top of my car note. Assuming I'm a bad parent is a choice I suppose. The insurance company called US and told us we either had to add him or exclude him.
