A DoorDash courier faced backlash after consuming part of an order he was supposed to deliver, claiming the customer tipped only $1. A video posted on the courier’s TikTok page captured the moment.
In the clip, the courier says, “The customer tipped only $1. Let’s see what was ordered from Arby’s. Cheddar steak, french sauce and crispy fries. Oh my goodness, this is my favorite dish!” He then proceeds to eat potatoes while speaking to the camera.
At the video’s end, the TikTok creator thanks the customer for the small tip, a moment that sparked mixed reactions online.
Some viewers supported the courier, while others criticized the act. One commenter noted that many people simply cannot afford generous tips and asked why tips should be expected for basic service. The courier responded by saying the job is to fulfill orders and that better tips accompany good service.
His stance was clear: if a buyer cannot leave a substantial tip, they should consider collecting the order themselves.
