Ya'll Ever Order Food While It's Pouring Out and Feel Like an Asshole?
- Thread starter TaterTots
- Start date
I would feel bad, but I would tip the delivery person well to make up for the bad weather.
Rain no, but during a snow storm yeah. I worked delivery in the past though and it comes with the territory. People tend to tip better when it's shitty out too, so actually no I don't really feel bad.

I already tipped the guy. Felt bad and just tried to gift him something extra lol.
No, you make bank delivering when it's pouring if you're a good driver due to the increased volume. I loved rainy days, they were a bit more stressful but I was prepared and made 1.5-2x as much money.
I loved going out in bad weather when I delivered pizza after high school, since it usually led to much better tips from people who felt guilty. So if you live in a tipping country, you are fine as long as you tip accordingly. I don't know about delivery etiquette in civilized non-tipping countries, so maybe it's different there.
I pictured some machine that was pouring out food onto the floor and as the workers scrambled to pick it up, I placed an order.
I just tip a bit more. I don't feel bad, it's their job. And rainy days should be pretty good money. Like ordering pizza during a big game. My buddy used to invite delivery people in to hangout and smoke weed when we would have food delivered late. Like half would accept and hang out for 10 minutes. He actually made several good friends that way.
I do feel bad, but it's not like my ordering or not will keep the driver out of the rain. I just tip em extra for the hassle.
No because I just tip more
I ordered two 24 packs of bottled water off Amazon Prime before it started raining once...I felt bad.
I had a manager who refused to close our store even though there was zero visibility and no customers came in that day.
If you feel like an asshole, give a bigger tip.
You should feel bad because Amazon is a terrible company anyway :).

No, but I think it's far more assholish to order food when road conditions are bad. I see it far too often where I live
Seriously just tip well. I've done the delivery thing a few times and your driver is probably making about $3 without a tip.

At first glance I thought this thread title was: "Y'all ever order food while its pouring out your asshole?
I was admiring your commitment to food despite the diarrhea.

Yeah, I do Postmates and, without a tip, you're just paying for my gas and a bit of wear on my car. Pay me, assholes.
OP I was thinking you were pouring something out.
I've ordered pizza while it was snowing they were the only ones working that night. Gave him a 40$ tip on a 20$ order.

No
Edit for clarity:
Yes, I've ordered during rain.
No, I don't feel bad for doing it.
