What’s an acceptable tip for a driver who delivers a $20 pizza?

A TikTok video purporting to show a DoorDash delivery driver in Texas swearing at a customer over the $5 tip she gave him has gone viral, sparking fresh online debate over tipping culture in the U.S.

“I just want to say it’s a nice house for a $5 tip,” the driver can be heard saying as he walks away from a home in the door camera video posted to TikTok earlier this week by a user under the name Lacey Purciful.

“You’re welcome!” the resident says, appearing surprised by the remark. “F*** you,” the driver responds before walking away.

A spokesperson for DoorDash said a delivery driver had been removed from their platform in connection with the incident.

      And yet the more obvious analogy is between the two Karens in these stories, no?

      No, full stop. You’re trying to compare someone being racist with someone who didn’t give a tip big enough for the delivery driver. Reporting someone for verbally abusing you isn’t being a Karen, doing something like yelling “fuck you” at a customer because they didn’t give you enough extra money is being a Karen.
