However, the controversy broke out and threw different opinions on the case. For a start, some commented that this practice is recurrent in clients, considering them inconsiderate; in the meantime, Others considered that users give what they can and that, in this case, it should be the responsibility of delivery apps to provide a better salary under these circumstances..
These are some of the comments that could be read:
If you decided that this is your service, do it and now. Or every time you throw the trash away, do you tip the truck? Do you tip the person who collected the eggs you eat for breakfast? That is why it is paid and the cost of the service contemplates it. Tipping is optional and recognizes extra effort.
Complicated subject since in itself they raise the price of the food by 20% and they also charge you two more fees. You can’t know the effort behind those “even 10 pesos.” That’s why it’s better if I can go for food and if not, maruchan or a sandwich.
CarolinaThey should sue those apps that don’t give benefits or a decent salary. The client gives what he can and the tip IS NOT MANDATORY.
🌈 THE UNBORRABLE 💜💚💗 #LasMujeresTransNoMeBorranIf the client cannot give a worthy tip, he should not request the service. A lot of blah, blah, vs the apps that should pay better, etc.
But while they are apples or pears, these people are suffering the consequences of people without conscience (patrons and customers).
What do you think? Should they offer better salaries or, on the contrary, should the user take responsibility and add a better tip to the service?
