DoorDash fires driver after viral $5 tip meltdown and gives customer special gift TikTok: noahglenncarterDoorDash has taken action against a driver who made headlines after he insulted a customer over a 25% tip on a $20 pizza order. Food delivery apps like Uber Eats, DoorDash, and GrubHub have become commonplace in our lives when it comes to getting a quick bite to eat, but that doesn\u2019t mean the process is always smooth sailing. Over the years, there have been plenty of bizarre stories involving delivery drivers. In some cases, they\u2019ve been heroes who rescue people trapped on top of buildings, and other times, they\u2019ve gone viral for the opposite reasons, such as eating customers\u2019 food. In the latest ridiculous incident, a driver had a freakout after getting tipped $5 and insulted a customer for not tipping more. Unfortunately for him, DoorDash didn\u2019t take too kindly to their brand being represented like that. DoorDash terminates employee for insulting customer over $5 tip According to a report from the New York Post, the driver, known as \u2018Dasher Corey\u2019 is no longer with the company. \u201cRespectfully asking for a tip is acceptable but abusing or harassing someone is never acceptable,\u201d DoorDash said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019ve removed this Dasher from our platform and reached out to the customer.\u201d During the altercation, which was filmed on Texas woman Lacey Purciful\u2019s doorbell camera, Corey received a $5 tip and responded: \u201cI just want to say, it\u2019s a nice house for a $5 tip.\u201d After Lacey replied \u201cYou\u2019re welcome,\u201d Corey shot back with a vulgar \u201cf**k you\u201d before driving away. Although the customer wasn\u2019t able to get her tip back originally, when her husband complained to DoorDash, the company awarded the couple a $5 voucher. This wasn\u2019t good enough. When the husband and wife decided to escalate the issue, the delivery app opened an investigation and decided a bigger compensation was deserved: a whopping $75 credit. The customer also made sure to show that she has a history of tipping well, even uploading a TikTok from earlier that same day where she tipped a driver $10 on a $17 order. With more and more people now owning door cameras, hopefully, this will serve as a warning to drivers who try to pull a fast one by insulting customers over how they tip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
