A recent interaction between a customer and a delivery driver restarted the debate about tipping culture. Nicole Townsend (nicolebreaksitdown) took to Instagram and TikTok to share her confusion about what she thought was a good tip after an order from Panda Express. As she asked in the caption, “What the heck are people tipping delivery drivers these days?!?” The video resonated with many and has already racked up over 200K views in a few days.
In her video, Nicole claimed, “My DoorDash driver just got on to me saying I didn’t tip enough. This is. Tell me if I’m in the wrong here. I saw her pulling down my driveway, so I went outside to meet her to get my order. I go, hi. And she immediately looks at me and says, ‘How much did you tip?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, I. 20% is what I usually click on.’” The driver wasn’t satisfied with that answer.
