An Uber Eats worker has begged customers to make sure they tip delivery drivers more if they can afford to do so. After driving for an hour, the delivery driver received a $1.19 (84p) tip from a customer, leaving him fearing for his livelihood. In a heartbreaking video shared to TikTok which has resurfaced, driver Smithson Michael who posts under the name @deliveryguy100, wept after opening up about his experiences of working for food delivery companies in the US such as Uber Eats and DoorDash.
Sitting in his car, Smithson could be seen wiping away a tear as he addressed the camera, telling his followers: "I wish people knew what it was like to deliver Uber Eats, Postmates, DoorDash, all these companies. I just spent an hour driving around for $1.19 tip. I mean would it hurt y'all to tip us, throw us five dollars?"
