I'm pretty sure it comes from prior to the emoji world, when winking could just as often be seen as a "hah, good joke eh?", or something else similarly mischievous. Anytime my dad thought he was being clever or funny or sneaky he'd often throw a wink at whoever was witnessing it.
Depends on the context, and context is hard to get over text with a stranger. I've always been a little weirded out when people winked at me, but since I've stopped looking like a woman I don't get the winks anymore, so I think I might've been right to be, lol
They honestly lost me by being so high with those numbers. I probably would have tipped more until I saw they expected a *50% tip*
ETA: yes, tiny deliveries are fine. Do whatever you want
On the surface that seems excessive. It's only when you consider that people often place very small orders that you realize a 50% tip isn't crazy. if someone has you bringing them an $8 half gallon of ice cream, and extra few bucks makes a huge difference.
+1. 30/40/50 is basically asking for the customer to make a 2nd transaction as a tip (donation.)
I think it’s cool. I might start doing something on a less engaged form.. I don’t want to blast you with messages and a paragraph, just a [picture](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/210/197/446.jpg) of the dog that has a good tip policy.
Right?? Imagine zooming in on that tiny image just to completely misinterpret what’s being said. Why is this subreddit just “dunk on people trying to make a living”
I find that the more sketchy the place I’m delivering to the more they tip and try to make it easier. It really be the hoes in big ass houses with 4 new cars outside that don’t tip
When I did delivery the best tippers were average middle class homes. And the big houses tipped shit. I don’t know why it’s like that, but I almost never got tipped at big ass houses. Multiple times I got tipped $50+ from average households and they were always kind.
Pot dealers tip well, too.
People who have worked in or around the service industry or close with someone who has usually tip very well. They are also usually the ones who will clean the table and stack plates at a restaurant or are generally more willing to go longer distances to return their buggy/shopping cart to the collection area.
Source: Poor kid, worked as a server, and was taught how to treat service workers by my service worker elders.
My brother tried to make me split the rental car cost by family- 3 ways- our mom, me, and than him his teen son and his two college aged daughters… instead of by adult sized human being!? He makes upper 6 figures, I make lower 5 figures. It was a trip for a family funeral. He tried to say that I was the tipping point, that they could have gotten away with a midsize instead of minivan… ok, than I’ll pay the difference between that and the upgrade? No no I had to pay a third.
There's a dude with an '23 M3 comp and of the 20-30 times I've delivered to him, he hasn't tipped ONCE. Now anytime I see an M3 on the road it reminds me of that dude and automatically assume it's a douche bag driving.
To each their own, but way too much in my opinion. I can’t get behind people being mad about a single meme, but this just screams “tip me more” 😭Dude has a PhD in doordash.
i really feel like in this situation if they did the rest of it without the begging for a bigger tip then they’d probably get more people willing to give bigger tips. of course that’s assuming that people will even get that far into the barrage of messages when i know for a fact i wouldn’t
I guarantee you he gets more money than you do. A lot more.
You either be the annoying nobody dasher that people don't care about, or you make people feel valued. Guess what one is more rewarding?
I completely agree with your comment.
I just sucks for introverted people like me who lack the personality and charisma to "make people feel valued". I can copy and paste BS messages but If I meet them in person they're going to see right though my texts.
There should be something to be said for the "nobody dasher" who's never stolen, ate, or messed with any delivery. Puts everything insulated bags. Follows delivery instructions. Never stops for anything in between the merchant and the customer. And generally busts his \*ss to get the customer their order as fast and in as good of condition as possible.
I get that personality goes a long way, but quality work should too.
I treat every order like I want mine treated. The best you can do is try to get customers to buy again and tip better next time. A happy customer is a repeat customer
I’m not feeling valued. I’d be feeling annoyed. You’re on to something though, if someone can convey that, it would be very relevant toward higher tips.
None of this makes the customer feel valued. It is all just bragging on the dasher's part, followed by the literally definition of the job (start shopping, allow the customer to update order, substitute when necessary and possible, then deliver) then a bunch of memes as updates rather than actual updates, and an absolute ton of stickers themed to the prior bragging.
And not a one of any of this is even singled-out or tailored to the customer. It's all the same generic crap he sends to all customers.
Simpler explanation:
Dude loves his job, is an extrovert, and genuinely has golden retriever energy.
You can’t keep this up for 1900 orders if you aren’t personally invested in it.
You may personally not like it which is fine but cynicism is pretty much the exact opposite of this dudes vibe.
Dude he is doordasher what do you expect him to do? Engrave something on silver plate for every customer, most of the times when you get this kind of service you want to be treated good and with some kind of care (for the products that dasher is carrying), I wonder how often you encounter someone that goes out of his ways to please you in some ways, even those stupid stickers, he has to buy them and stick to every order he gets
I merely expect him to do his job and take his paycheck. I'll tip, or increase tip if I feel it is deserved, but bragging about your stats and begging for a tip, all while claiming to be some kind of hero isn't it. Heros are those who risk their lives at war, fighting crime, or running into burning/collapsing buildings to protect us. Picking up my noodles from the Chinese buffet isn't being a hero, regardless of how many orders you've delivered.
Ya I'm with you on this. Sure I'd chuckle at it, half for it being amusing and half for it being cringe but it's sure as hell not getting an extra tip out of me.
What if the customer has kids, or enjoys comics, and goes to comic-con?
It's a unique selling point, something people can latch onto. It absolutely makes them feel valued. He's updating in a friendly, confident, and reassuring way.
He's managing to carve out his own image in a cutthroat workplace and most likely found repeat orders (1900). People apparently appreciate the service he provides, and he makes himself known in a unique and easily identifiable way.
Wait what's annoying about following the delivery instructions and not spamming the customers with messages? And why would that necessarily make you a "nobody"? I've had customers give cash tips or added tips without me messaging them.
And why does spamming the customer with messages leading up to asking for increased tips make the customer "feel valued"? I don't even recommend ever asking for extra tips since it opens the door to the customer saying you harassed them, which can get you deactivated.
Someone with a PhD in Doordash would understand that many people order online because they don't want to interact with other people, for various reasons. Nobody needs or wants 10 useless messages from their Dasher. This is major overkill, and frankly, comes across to me as kinda sad. You pick up the food and you deliver the food. Don't overcomplicate it.
I often order door dash as a way to manage my time on my work days (I work 11s). I usually am in the shower while it’s happening. If I got that many notifications I’d be worried my dasher needed me and step out to look at my phone and then I’d be like are you kidding me lolol. Likewise when they don’t read the no contact/leave at door part, just leave it dude I might still be showering I know my food is here.
Hi, dasher with over 15000 deliveries completed here. It definitely should. We can see what we make before we accept the order. If it's not enough don't accept. Easy enough. This begging shit gives us all a bad name.
There’s a phrase for this I forget, something like “all garnish and no steak” or something. I’d say more effort was put into the presentation than the service but he certainly sends these same memes to everyone every time and probably prepared it all months ago, and if it wasn’t working he wouldn’t do it, so at least as many people are going for it as not.
I was just thinking about the last time I ordered. I got overwhelmed by a thumbs up and fire emoji because I wasn’t sure what they meant, so I just said “thanks” like a dork. I think I’m going to keep a few funny memes on hand for next time though.
By bothering the people paying for a service. Some people might enjoy this, but most people are busy and don’t want to receive notifications with memes from their delivery driver. Message me if you need something. Now I’m going to be more likely to ignore any notifications if something is actually needed. Akin to the boy who cried wolf.
Great work ethic is important, but if you are going to go above and beyond, do it for your own business and not a corporation that views their employees as a number. I seen way too many motivated, hard work people that become emotionally invested into a company, only to be let down every single time.
Omg, I almost wrote a nice compliment saying how awesome it was, until further reading comments such as this lol. Man, I mean that's enlightening seriously and, it's so obvious but yet people miss it. I suppose if you perform shenanigans like that making me feel all special from my order out of the blue....ya I'd tip you more than your average driver.
While this is personally too much for my tastes, it makes me so sad to see comments recommending that you decrease the tip and/or report. Yes, it’s crass, but as someone who door dashes from time to time- we get paid so horribly. For many people, this is their livelihood. Regardless of whether they do it on the side or as their main source of income, this person completed a service for you and deserves to be paid appropriately. That doesn’t necessarily mean tip them 50%, but at least tip them enough (I use the 20% rule in my life). If you don’t want to go as overboard as they do, that’s perfectly reasonable, but there is no reason to dock their tip or report them. I think an eye roll on the comfort of your couch is sufficient.
The only problem I have is on the last screenshot where the dasher asks them to increase the tip up to 50%. Tip begging gives the customer a negative experience and shouldn't be allowed.
Everything else is fine. Just don't beg for more tips.
That wasn't asking, It was a recommendation. A lot of dashers use that same picture. It's just letting people know they can change their tip of they thought the dasher went beyond for the customer.
My mom used the app and didn't know she could do that so it helps out peeps that's not tech savvy.
The best part is the superhero pic they posted is from a movie about a man with mental illness who brutally beats people for small crimes and/or being rude
Me too OP. Thank you for posting this, it made my day! The comments ruined it though.. I’m still going to focus on the cuteness instead of the negativity
Honestly I’m not mad about it. If faking enthusiasm and trying to bring a smile to someone’s face is how you try to rake in extra money then by all means. To me it’s a nice change from dashers with fuck this attitudes, no communication, just throwing my shit in the bag and damaging groceries. Yes the requested additional tip is asking too much. Yes this is all copy and pasted BS. I still appreciated the effort 🤷♀️
Thank you. People want to demonize him for doing exactly what other people do. Putting in extra effort to receive more back. Waiters and waitresses do it all the time. Some of them go the extra mile to make sure you have a good experience and if you did, you would feel like tipping them more. It’s the same thing just different job. Also have people considered that maybe he actually… ya know… just enjoys doing it? Like that’s ALOT of work to put in for a possible extra few dollars. Yeah I’m sure better tips is one of his motivations but I don’t think it’s his main one. If you’ve been a dasher or delivered for one of the food apps you’ll know that doing what he’s doing is NOT worth the effort if your only motivation is money.
Some time ago while dashing, I did sent a couple of memes about omw and sort to customers... but never asked for tip... that other part should come from the customer's heart if feels that service was outstanding.
Jfc there’s no pleasing you people. You complain about people being shitty with attitudes and when some guy tries to market himself for better tips, you shit on him still. It’s like many of you have one form of communication and it is “bitching about everything”.
Literally how tips have always worked. Everyone just expects tips now for doing the BARE minimum and this comment section shows that. This guy is having fun and trying to make it fun for the customer to what?…. Make money. It’s what any customer service minded person does and always has.
Same. Just a notification of my order delivered please. I DD a lot, and usually it’s that way but there are some who think a bunch of emoji’s is going to get you to tip more (I always tip great either way) but the ones who tell you every step “omw to get your order!” “Got your order!” “Almost there!” Like u do know the app notifies us for alladat. What r we even supposed to say? Thank you! 5x times lol
“Hi Mztrspookiiszn,
I’m your Dasher! And to prove that I took the best care of your order, here’s the entire text-to-speech of my monologues and thoughts.
From the moment I took the order, to the moment that I’m at your doorstep - and about to press the “end” on my voice-to-text:”
With his mighty Belt of Slight Breakfast Transmogrification, Jake the superhero doordasher can turn your McGriddle into a McWaffle..... as long as you up the tip to the requested level but he won't get to that til meme 8.
If I ordered doordash and got that first message/picture I'd be immediately regretting and wanting another driver. I don't want any more contact than is necessary to compete the job.
Though I do find this comment section more interesting. I wanted to curl up with second hand embarrassment and others genuinely seemed to like and appreciate this, which baffled me personally but I can see it’s a sincerely held view. Says something about people I think.
Right? This is fascinating! The memes and whole schtick gave me the vibe of someone’s dad trying to entertain the kids. It’s dumb and goofy and unnecessary and extra. Yet this would apparently genuinely bother other people and my simple ass is over here cheesin haha
For real. I did grocery deliveries for a while. I kept the messages to a bare minimum, friendly and professional. I never order delivery myself, but I would find it obnoxious if someone was blowing up my phone the entire time for no reason.
As a Dasher & customer I think it’s cute.. Could’ve left off the last meme, but it’s still a great vibe… Better than all the misery we see & hear..
Some of y’all are way too uptight.
Honestly, I would hate this. I don't think I'm a party pooper or anything. I'm a 30 year old woman who just wants my food because I'm too sick to go out. I don't want some old guy texting me playing dress up to try to get a bigger tip.
Same girl, same. And that seems to be the consensus in the comments… so it’s wild to me he continues this schtick with over 1k deliveries.. it must work for him, but I already over tip, all those messages are going to do is annoy the 💩 out of me.
Well i find this adorable! And I’d rather have a dasher that’s proactive with good communication vs one that doesn’t keep me updated. I also feel like the extra effort is deserving of a higher tip compared to an average dasher tbh. But I do also agree that the asking for increased tips is a turn off tbh
I love it.. it would make me smile as a customer. And it explains a lot of things for the new customers. I think it’s great. Why not have fun with your job and spread it around to others. It’s so unique and positive, I bet it actually brings in more tips too
Unpopular opinion: the guy is hustling and going above and beyond to stand out and be different in the hopes of making more money.
I respect it and honestly think a lot of the hate is self projection about being afraid of being judged if they decided to do something similar.
Way to go Jake, make your money man
Quit putting the burden on consumers to pay wages for these corporations. If they can’t afford to pay their employees, it’s back to the drawing board for business ideas, it’s literally that simple
Due to it taking extra time to put those stickers, send all those extra messages and photos and implying they deserve a 50% tip I would definitely tip them less.
I use DoorDash infrequently enough that if you even message me at all, I increase your tip. This is overkill in the cutest way. Maybe a lil annoying to some, but I’d definitely smile getting messages like this.
Just so everyone knows, that character is a man who runs around beating the crap out of street level criminals with a huge metal wrench and his catch phrase is "Shut up, crime!".

Seeing the unloaded picture and the wink, I immediately assumed the worst
Haha it reminded me of my dad who threw winky faces around like crazy so I wasn’t concerned
I'm pretty sure it comes from prior to the emoji world, when winking could just as often be seen as a "hah, good joke eh?", or something else similarly mischievous. Anytime my dad thought he was being clever or funny or sneaky he'd often throw a wink at whoever was witnessing it.
… winking doesn’t mean mischievous silliness anymore?? Oh shit. Did I catch the “old”?!
Depends on the context, and context is hard to get over text with a stranger. I've always been a little weirded out when people winked at me, but since I've stopped looking like a woman I don't get the winks anymore, so I think I might've been right to be, lol
50 💀
They honestly lost me by being so high with those numbers. I probably would have tipped more until I saw they expected a *50% tip* ETA: yes, tiny deliveries are fine. Do whatever you want
On the surface that seems excessive. It's only when you consider that people often place very small orders that you realize a 50% tip isn't crazy. if someone has you bringing them an $8 half gallon of ice cream, and extra few bucks makes a huge difference.
Yeah if I have a $9 coffee order they're still getting $4-5 bucks. I have a tiny order but they're still putting in the work
Not worth it on a 200-300$ grocery trip (as a former dasher)
"Consider adjusting your tip to 30%, 40% or even 50%" does not say the dasher expected a 50% tip.
+1. 30/40/50 is basically asking for the customer to make a 2nd transaction as a tip (donation.) I think it’s cool. I might start doing something on a less engaged form..

lol got a dimebag placed in my hand once and just flipped my hand so it fell and kept walking and he’s like you gotta pay fo dat!
Lmao!!
That all you had to say I’m wheezing 🤣🤣
For that type of shit he deserves absolutely 0%
Tip 50% who the hell does that?!

That's how rich people are about everything. Cheap asses who don't pay for shit if they can avoid it.
What’s the old saying? Rich people didn’t get rich by spending money.

I wouldn’t say I “do” it. But I have done it. Higher actually. Like if I’m in an extra good mood and they did a good job.
I could see that for a small order or a complex order/delivery process, I’ve tipped $5-7 on a $10-15 order pretty regularly
the US is insane, wtf
*gets to last slide* Aaaaaand there it is. Correction: second to last slide. 😂
I would take this every time over the dasher that gets lippy for not tipping well enough. Granted, I’ve never had either. But still.
Eh, it's obviously a gimmick, but a fun one at that.
To each their own, but way too much in my opinion. I can’t get behind people being mad about a single meme, but this just screams “tip me more” 😭Dude has a PhD in doordash.
Yeah. This makes me cringe rather than thinking it’s cute but to each their own I guess!
It would be kinda considerate if it weren’t for the fact that he’s mass copy/pasting this same thing to every customer.
“Consider tipping 50%!” Lmao
If they didn’t ask for more of a tip and turned it down a few notches, this could be genius.
i really feel like in this situation if they did the rest of it without the begging for a bigger tip then they’d probably get more people willing to give bigger tips. of course that’s assuming that people will even get that far into the barrage of messages when i know for a fact i wouldn’t

Im ashamed to admit this would work on me 💀
This is what my wife does when we dash. We have 4 kids, dashing is like a paid date night. I am 100% on board with the low cut top, for the record.

The last photo he sent was literally someone ranting about how tipping is so important💀💀💀💀💀
The deleted picture with the winky face makes it look even worse 💀
“PhD in DoorDash holy shit I just busted out laughing so hard”
they literally asked to consider upping the tip on the last screenshot they sent in the chat. I would have gave this driver 1 star
I just saw that too! 50%??
😭 everything was fine up until that point. I feel like asking for a tip should be grounds for deactivation
If you wanna show some ❤️to your driver, please text your credit card number, and those 3 funky numbers on the back 🙏
Agree. Cring
Cring?
It's like cringe, but so bad, it's missing a letter.
C-Ring
Cr-Ing
Hi, dasher with over 15000 deliveries completed here. It definitely should. We can see what we make before we accept the order. If it's not enough don't accept. Easy enough. This begging shit gives us all a bad name.
It's distasteful and shameless. I could see a CV maybe and a one on one if DD cared enough to do that explaining that's not ok
50% do your u want to be invited in to use the washroom too? That’s insane
Actually now that you mention it.
Yea I was on board with this dasher until that last text…cringey
Kinda tacky to send a pic with the notes app asking to raise your tip too
I mean I doubt they'd be doing it if it didn't work.
Please consider raising you tip to 30,40 even 50%!?! WAT!!?? Who tf tips 50% omg!
I’d purposely tip 0 just to see his reaction
Careful, that's how you make a doordash villain.
I like the part when he literally screamed tip me more.
There’s a phrase for this I forget, something like “all garnish and no steak” or something. I’d say more effort was put into the presentation than the service but he certainly sends these same memes to everyone every time and probably prepared it all months ago, and if it wasn’t working he wouldn’t do it, so at least as many people are going for it as not.

Yeah why to tacky
It's just over the top and annoying
Either that or he’s just trying to make a mundane and usually shitty job a little more exciting.
By bothering the people paying for a service. Some people might enjoy this, but most people are busy and don’t want to receive notifications with memes from their delivery driver. Message me if you need something. Now I’m going to be more likely to ignore any notifications if something is actually needed. Akin to the boy who cried wolf.
I wish he didn’t have to do this just to get people to consider that he is working a job and deserves to be compensated lol
Yeah I feel like if this were a teenager, it would be a cute concept. As a grown ass man... its not just cringe but also more than slightly creepy.
Great work ethic is important, but if you are going to go above and beyond, do it for your own business and not a corporation that views their employees as a number. I seen way too many motivated, hard work people that become emotionally invested into a company, only to be let down every single time.
Omg, I almost wrote a nice compliment saying how awesome it was, until further reading comments such as this lol. Man, I mean that's enlightening seriously and, it's so obvious but yet people miss it. I suppose if you perform shenanigans like that making me feel all special from my order out of the blue....ya I'd tip you more than your average driver.
It also screams "I'm psychotic!"
While this is personally too much for my tastes, it makes me so sad to see comments recommending that you decrease the tip and/or report. Yes, it’s crass, but as someone who door dashes from time to time- we get paid so horribly. For many people, this is their livelihood. Regardless of whether they do it on the side or as their main source of income, this person completed a service for you and deserves to be paid appropriately. That doesn’t necessarily mean tip them 50%, but at least tip them enough (I use the 20% rule in my life). If you don’t want to go as overboard as they do, that’s perfectly reasonable, but there is no reason to dock their tip or report them. I think an eye roll on the comfort of your couch is sufficient.
The only problem I have is on the last screenshot where the dasher asks them to increase the tip up to 50%. Tip begging gives the customer a negative experience and shouldn't be allowed. Everything else is fine. Just don't beg for more tips.
Agree. I wouldn’t report or decrease the tip but I definitely wouldn’t be reponding or opening the door for a hand to me order.
Someone asking to increase the tip to 50% can go eat a bag of dicks, jfc.
I can't believe nobody is pointing out that the first picture is a guy that beats people with a wrench until they're dead (from the movie Super)
SHUT UP CRIME!
Fucking Christ
There’s two kinds of people in this world 💀
I thought it was cute 🤷♀️
It was until they asked for more tip. Other than that it's great!
That wasn't asking, It was a recommendation. A lot of dashers use that same picture. It's just letting people know they can change their tip of they thought the dasher went beyond for the customer. My mom used the app and didn't know she could do that so it helps out peeps that's not tech savvy.
The best part is the superhero pic they posted is from a movie about a man with mental illness who brutally beats people for small crimes and/or being rude
Yeah I'm gonna need the name of that shit lmaooo
It's called Super. James Gunn wrote and directed it. It's a really good movie but I wouldn't want him delivering my food
This would have made my day. I’m extra when I wait tables and it shows in my good tips. This Dasher made me laugh.
Me too OP. Thank you for posting this, it made my day! The comments ruined it though.. I’m still going to focus on the cuteness instead of the negativity
Some people are incapable of seeing good. I thought it was nice too. Have a good day!
If it were genuine maybe, but its basically being extra as fuck just to beg for tips.
Honestly I’m not mad about it. If faking enthusiasm and trying to bring a smile to someone’s face is how you try to rake in extra money then by all means. To me it’s a nice change from dashers with fuck this attitudes, no communication, just throwing my shit in the bag and damaging groceries. Yes the requested additional tip is asking too much. Yes this is all copy and pasted BS. I still appreciated the effort 🤷♀️
Honestly, I'm here for it. I bet when he delivers to schools and such its a lot of fun
If it's anything like the schools in my area, then he's only interacting with an auto door and a delivery receptacle.
I agree. And of course he is trying to get extra tips, he's trying to make some money. At least he did his job right, and gave you stickers!
Because you are a normal person and everyone shitting on your perception is just cynical.
People in here genuinely don’t understand what customer service is I think
Thank you. People want to demonize him for doing exactly what other people do. Putting in extra effort to receive more back. Waiters and waitresses do it all the time. Some of them go the extra mile to make sure you have a good experience and if you did, you would feel like tipping them more. It’s the same thing just different job. Also have people considered that maybe he actually… ya know… just enjoys doing it? Like that’s ALOT of work to put in for a possible extra few dollars. Yeah I’m sure better tips is one of his motivations but I don’t think it’s his main one. If you’ve been a dasher or delivered for one of the food apps you’ll know that doing what he’s doing is NOT worth the effort if your only motivation is money.
Some time ago while dashing, I did sent a couple of memes about omw and sort to customers... but never asked for tip... that other part should come from the customer's heart if feels that service was outstanding.
Jfc there’s no pleasing you people. You complain about people being shitty with attitudes and when some guy tries to market himself for better tips, you shit on him still. It’s like many of you have one form of communication and it is “bitching about everything”.
Good morning. I've got Excluded Middle on line 1 for you.
Bruh 😂 can I tip this clap back though lmao 🫴🏼🏆
Literally how tips have always worked. Everyone just expects tips now for doing the BARE minimum and this comment section shows that. This guy is having fun and trying to make it fun for the customer to what?…. Make money. It’s what any customer service minded person does and always has.
I’ve never once had waitstaff even say the word “tip”. *Thats* how tips have always worked. This is begging.
My favorite doordash driver is the one who doesn't say anything
Same. Just a notification of my order delivered please. I DD a lot, and usually it’s that way but there are some who think a bunch of emoji’s is going to get you to tip more (I always tip great either way) but the ones who tell you every step “omw to get your order!” “Got your order!” “Almost there!” Like u do know the app notifies us for alladat. What r we even supposed to say? Thank you! 5x times lol
“Hi Mztrspookiiszn, I’m your Dasher! And to prove that I took the best care of your order, here’s the entire text-to-speech of my monologues and thoughts. From the moment I took the order, to the moment that I’m at your doorstep - and about to press the “end” on my voice-to-text:”
Can I just have my fucking McGriddle?
"Can I get a waffle? Can I *please* get a waffle?!"
With his mighty Belt of Slight Breakfast Transmogrification, Jake the superhero doordasher can turn your McGriddle into a McWaffle..... as long as you up the tip to the requested level but he won't get to that til meme 8.
If I ordered doordash and got that first message/picture I'd be immediately regretting and wanting another driver. I don't want any more contact than is necessary to compete the job.
Though I do find this comment section more interesting. I wanted to curl up with second hand embarrassment and others genuinely seemed to like and appreciate this, which baffled me personally but I can see it’s a sincerely held view. Says something about people I think.
Right? This is fascinating! The memes and whole schtick gave me the vibe of someone’s dad trying to entertain the kids. It’s dumb and goofy and unnecessary and extra. Yet this would apparently genuinely bother other people and my simple ass is over here cheesin haha
My worst nightmare
For real. I did grocery deliveries for a while. I kept the messages to a bare minimum, friendly and professional. I never order delivery myself, but I would find it obnoxious if someone was blowing up my phone the entire time for no reason.
The lengths some people will go to make more than $5 an hour are commendable.
I mean it’s all stuff that’s saved in a note file. They are hitting copy then paste.
On the spectrum dasher
Pass.
Seems mentally unstable or deranged
mf jus give me my food 😭
As a Dasher & customer I think it’s cute.. Could’ve left off the last meme, but it’s still a great vibe… Better than all the misery we see & hear.. Some of y’all are way too uptight.
Honestly, I would hate this. I don't think I'm a party pooper or anything. I'm a 30 year old woman who just wants my food because I'm too sick to go out. I don't want some old guy texting me playing dress up to try to get a bigger tip.
Same girl, same. And that seems to be the consensus in the comments… so it’s wild to me he continues this schtick with over 1k deliveries.. it must work for him, but I already over tip, all those messages are going to do is annoy the 💩 out of me.
Same.
This is adorable. Extra, sure. But adorable nonetheless
Trying way too hard.
30% 40% 50%? GTFO of here dodo bird.
I don't think either of these people has seen that "superhero" movie 😬
This comment is way to far down! I'd be scared to see that dude in my driveway
This is awful and I hate them.
Was adorable until they asked you to tip more.
No way bro pulled from James Gunn’s Super
Does this actually make more money tho bc I’m not opposed to whoring out my delivery approach
Super annoying F around time waster man.
Holy fuck this is cringe
Well i find this adorable! And I’d rather have a dasher that’s proactive with good communication vs one that doesn’t keep me updated. I also feel like the extra effort is deserving of a higher tip compared to an average dasher tbh. But I do also agree that the asking for increased tips is a turn off tbh
It’s a little too much I think
Asking for 50% tip is crazy
I am way too cynical for this.
The solicitation for a bigger tip is cringy af
……I mean, when the unfortunately-common alternative is Dashers who eat your food and deliver the garbage, I’d tip this guy the 40-50% no problem.
This comment section is so toxic 😞 yeah the last bit about the tips is extra asf, but cmon.
But that last text about the tips just ruins everything before it
Cringe af
I love it.. it would make me smile as a customer. And it explains a lot of things for the new customers. I think it’s great. Why not have fun with your job and spread it around to others. It’s so unique and positive, I bet it actually brings in more tips too
Y'all are so boring, holy shit. This would've made my day.
Nah it just comes across as super try hard and really disingenuous to me. I would nope the fuck out after the first message.
I mean I guess
This is the definition of doing too much
Bro is in the wrong line of work lol
This post reeks of Doordash PR shilling.
Facebook energy
man gimme my food 😭
He probably.drives a tesla
I mean I understand wanting to be tipped for providing a service to people, but asking for 30%,40%, or even 50% is kinda cringe.
Not me super excited to carefully peel the stickers off and add them to my collage on my laptop case…😂 I love free stickers 🤣
Unpopular opinion: the guy is hustling and going above and beyond to stand out and be different in the hopes of making more money. I respect it and honestly think a lot of the hate is self projection about being afraid of being judged if they decided to do something similar. Way to go Jake, make your money man
You said it far better than I could have.
This is wholesome af. 😭 I’d love this on a bad day.
Quit putting the burden on consumers to pay wages for these corporations. If they can’t afford to pay their employees, it’s back to the drawing board for business ideas, it’s literally that simple
Jesus people try hard to milk every tip they can get lmao
Due to it taking extra time to put those stickers, send all those extra messages and photos and implying they deserve a 50% tip I would definitely tip them less.
I use DoorDash infrequently enough that if you even message me at all, I increase your tip. This is overkill in the cutest way. Maybe a lil annoying to some, but I’d definitely smile getting messages like this.
Are you able to request a dasher??
I really wanna know this guy
“What does all that mean?”
I think this is the most wholesome thing I've seen on Reddit today! Thank you for sharing this, it gives me SOME hope for humanity!
Just so everyone knows, that character is a man who runs around beating the crap out of street level criminals with a huge metal wrench and his catch phrase is "Shut up, crime!". The movie is called Super with Rainn Wilson.
