A TikToker who claims to be a DoorDash driver says in a viral video that McDonald's has "whole section dedicated to people who don't tip," and it sparked quite a debate online.
In the video, the TikToker, @jhordanthemodel, says dashers get to "pick and choose" which orders they want to take because they are independent contractors. The TikToker says they mentioned in a previous video that orders from DoorDash customers who don't tip sit longer than those of customers who do. (Another TikToker recently went viral for making a similar claim about Chipotle.)
The creator then proceeds to show a McDonald's with about 30 to-go bags that have yet to be picked up. They claimed it was the section that was dedicated to people who didn't leave a tip for the service. "You don't have to tip; you're not obligated to tip. We are also not obligated to take your order," the creator says, "We are independent contractors who do not work for DoorDash the company; we're our own bosses."
The video amassed over 440,000 views and over 46,000 likes since being posted on Nov. 20. Many commenters agreed with the creator, reminding people that there's a "simple solution — either tip or go get the food yourself." However, not everyone felt the same way and offered a counter-argument to the discourse.
A different TikToker used the duet function and argued that "tipping is a satisfactory service," garnering over 2.8 million views and 330,000 likes.
"That means if I'm satisfied with how you bring me my motherfucking food then I'm gonna tip you," the TikToker, @prettyladyj1, says, continuing to argue that tipping should be done after a customer gets their order.
A spokeswoman for DoorDash told the Daily Dot in an email statement, "We’re proud of the flexible earning opportunities we provide, with Dashers making on average over $25 per hour they’re on a delivery. We are actively looking into the issues raised in this video and will take appropriate action as we learn more.”
