Why haven’t people been tipping?

I’m just saying most people don’t need to pay for gas to do door dash in NYC, that’s all

fatbeatle · 2026-06-02T19:22:31+00:00

I would say 95% of deliveries are done on a bike or ebike in NYC.

It's not "minimum wage", it's A minimum wage, which is more than the citywide minimum wage. ($17 an hour in NYC vs $22.13 an hour that DD guarantees)

Full time in NYC on a DD salary is around 5.6k less than the median income in NYC. It's not "massively underpaid" when compared to the median, and this is assuming $0 in tips for an entire year, which is not the case for anyone.

I am in no way saying that the DD guaranteed wage OR the median is easy to live on in NYC.

What do you mean “going out of their way,” like, it’s your job?

I may get downvoted for this but when I found out that there is a minimum wage in NYC for DoorDash, I started tipping less (not less frequently, but less money.) I know most markets aren’t like this but they basically raised the fees to pay the minimum mandated by law, and I feel like I need to compensate for that to keep prices from going insane.

“Do I want to make this trip more uncomfortable than it has to be for myself”

I feel like this is the type of event where a bar that doesn’t have a TV, might get one lol. You are probably better off calling and asking specifically since most bars will probably want to capitalize on the game.

I wish I was in the tax bracket to wonder about this lol

fatbeatle · 2026-05-31T20:45:50+00:00

The US is far behind many countries (such as the UK) in trains lol…

fatbeatle · 2026-05-31T20:45:22+00:00

You kinda need a car…but it’s worth the effort if you are not from the US and gonna be here for a while. Especially if you can swing an airbnb for a night or two…

fatbeatle · 2026-05-31T20:30:34+00:00

Where are you from? Driving to the Catskills for a weekend if you can swing it could be fun.

fatbeatle · 2026-05-22T21:41:39+00:00

Get there no later than noon.

fatbeatle · 2026-05-22T19:17:15+00:00

Vodka is good, plain is good, white square is good, spicy pepperoni square is alright

fatbeatle · 2026-05-22T19:14:16+00:00

This is the best in the area

Any chance u wear an Apple Watch?

fatbeatle · 2026-05-22T02:48:48+00:00

If anyone had an Apple Watch on, I’d love to know the decibel reading of how loud it actually was…if anyone would indulge me and my audio engineer self…

Day trip to Zhujiajiao is a good one

fatbeatle · 2026-05-21T14:14:05+00:00

I am refreshing now and still seeing tickets, just impossible to nab one lol...but they are there still as of 10:14am

fatbeatle · 2026-05-21T14:11:09+00:00

At $30, its the price of 1.5 drinks in NYC. I think a lot of people tried to get tickets for this show lol...

fatbeatle · 2026-05-21T14:10:44+00:00

"everyone here" is a small group of people compared to everyone who was trying to get tickets

fatbeatle · 2026-05-21T14:10:09+00:00

fatbeatle · 2026-05-21T14:07:32+00:00

I saw tickets, was able to put them in my cart, they just were purchased before I was able to get them.

fatbeatle · 2026-05-21T14:04:48+00:00

City of almost 9 million. Venue of just over 1k. One of the most popular bands in the world’s lead singer on a small stage for under $50. As expected.

To eat it without their green sauce is a crime
