Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yeah, they talk better than they These are the radio
blocks on the Fread show. Yeah. See, people are texting
like you're crazy to tip ahead of time. But see then,
as I learned from a retired geordiash driver Jason, and
from you know, reading a bunch of stuff online, if
you don't tip well off the off the top, then

(00:21):
you don't you don't wind up getting the food. Here's
another question I have is if your order is like,
let's say you order the same amount of food but
from a more expensive place, so the order is expensive,
should the tip be reflected on the order price or
should the tip just be reflected standard on the delivery
because like, for example, let's say order Let's say I

(00:42):
ordered from a bougie place and it's fifty bucks versus
ordering like a sandwich, which is twenty same. I only
ordered one meal. I only ordered maybe you know, one side,
and it's the same, same bag of food. Right, But
they're gonna make the tip bigger in the app automatically
because the order was more expensive. But the actual effort itself,
if we're being honest with each other, it's not that

(01:03):
much different. It's the same. So I wind up tipping
the same standard four or five bucks now here. The
exception would be if I ordered what I believe to
be a large quantity of food, or if I have
a large like pizzas, Like if I'm making you carry
like a water up to you know, I don't know.
If I'm making you carry something or like groceries or
with like a lot of stuff, well then I'm gonna
tip more. But you know what I mean, Like do

(01:25):
I tip more if the restaurant's more expensive but the
same amount of food. I do. But I'm pissed about it.
I don't know why they do that. I don't I don't, yeah, right,
not making that food. I get to the driver right right,
But it doesn't make sense that they make you do that.
And my mind is based on the effort, Like for
my in my mind, if it's if it's raining like
crazy and you got to bring me food, I tip more, yeah,

(01:46):
because rain like crazy. But if it's you know, if
it's just a normal delivery, then I give you a
standard nice tip. I give you better than that tip.
If it's like crappy outside, yeah, or there's inconvenience involved.
But again people are like, oh, you got to tip
after it That's always been my thing about tipping is
that you you gotta wait and see what happens, you know.
But that's how how a lot of people look at
tipping a lot of people see it as no, it's

(02:08):
your job as the customer to tip twenty percent, no
matter how good or bad the service is. You know. Yeah, Yeah,
it's tough, and it's just hard out there, really really hard.
You know, it's tough to live. Yeah, stuff like that.
All right, well we only have one minute anyway, So Jason,
you're blogging just a second. Things are growing out of
you that you're worried about. Oh yeah, I'm very concerned. Okay, good,

(02:28):
that's the that's the Tea More Press show Next,
