0:00 so I went to his uh to his car he pops his trunk and he goes and he goes oh man the soup outside [Laughter] [Music] all right y'all we're gonna watch a little video we're gonna react to the video it feels like school when they roll in the TV right and uh this is a doordash delivery driver oh it's an Asian guy looks like a JK fan oops this store that's custom I only tip one dollar let's see what he got at Arby's huh it's got the beef and cheddar he's got the French dip and the crinkle fries oh man that's my favorite thank you one dollar Tipper peace

0:55 what the ████ that's pretty funny hey let's go JK fan right there is that the Vietnamese what is it hey don't be looking at me asking me Vietnamese that's what I was thinking can you detect that's why you have to you have to put up he looks half he looks half Vietnamese and then yeah so it doesn't it's not open she's spoken like a true business owner who delivers actually a very mild thing to do though just eat a fry but isn't that what the big companies do he must have opened it yeah because they seal it because yeah the big like seal it with the official stickers it's basically tamper-proof you can't get it open you can't because when you're hungry and you get your delivery it takes five minutes not even the bomb squad could get it open yeah they refuse to work on those yeah the robot just turns around it shrugs but then if the meal's like five bucks and then they get tipped a dollar that's

1:47 20 I mean that had a lot of items in it so it probably wasn't yeah definitely not every restaurant that delivers seals up the ████ tamper-proof for like ties the bag Etc Joe when's the last time you ordered fast food I order fast food this morning and it cost me 10 bucks to buy four hash browns exactly you went to the store I mean delivery delivery yeah put see five bucks you're never gonna spend five bucks on delivery ever never never I think tipping one dollar is kind of like because you can have the option to choose your tip that means he chose this tip and just put a dollar that almost seems like you're going out of your way kind of be a dick I think most people don't tip there's a lot of no tippers like oh for food delivery specifically if you put no tip at all can you do that okay so you so back well now now I'm getting scared about the ████ tipping culture nowadays but back in the days I used to just automatic tip and then

2:38 without automatic tip there would be you know there would be rainy day situations sometimes somebody wouldn't show up my food or wouldn't get delivered or XYZ would happen right like it would be the wrong order so then I was like you know what I'm a tip after yeah like I'm gonna get my thing and then when I know I have everything in my thing I'll tip right but then now I'm like ████ dude like I don't want to like not tip before how I'm personally pissed at me and do XYZ to my food or whatever and you know what I mean like and I won't know why don't they make it like ████ when you get an Uber ride at the end after your ride you tip I don't know they always ask you in the beginning why but you can also add more tip if they were like really good so you tip to make sure that they don't ████ up and then you tip more because they were on time or fast or whatever they were nice but the thing is you're already still paying delivery fees surcharge taxes and all this stuff when you're ordering five dollars only like a delivery you got a tip and tip

3:28 after you're spending like 14 bucks that's why I'm so split on it because I'm like aren't you doordash's employee like they pay you and if I pay doordash the delivery fee they pay you from that I still tip just because I'm like I don't know what the ████ to do but yeah because back in the day when stores deliver like well people still deliver like pizza and stuff right that's because it's like you're tipping a waiter yeah so you're tipping them they don't they don't get a delivery fee there's no delivery fee for ordering pizza you just order the pizza and then you tip the driver yeah well I don't like it in restaurants nowadays and it's just so common so like there's nothing to not like because it's just the world we live in just the way it is yeah just nowadays you go up to the register they don't do anything you're putting your order and then they turn the ████ iPad I hate that ████ like you said it's already on fifteen percent

4:19 and you're getting it to go yeah and it's like wait a minute like what is tipping culture nowadays you know if I'm taking it to go I go zero thank you no print receipt thank you if they're really nice if I get some good service or something and it's just a kiosk I'll tip like a couple bucks maybe but for the most of the time if I'm grabbing and going during the pandemic though I was 20 like 25 all the time but I'm like I was like these ████ mom and pop shops need to stay open I was doing that chipotle I was like these people I hope they stay here do you guys have any good or bad uh like delivery stories or stuff that happened I've had people I've we've ordered Boba before yeah and um the girl just drive we saw The Ring camera dude she ████ dropped the the Boba thing and the the plastic cups I kind of like the ones you

5:10 have at June B right if you drop them a certain way oh crap it'll crack at the bottom so so Tiff is like she just got like this new shirt or something and she's I was like babe the delivery's here she grabs it picks it up it just spills no and she's like this ████ jerk and then we looked at the camera this ████ just was like come on dropped it out I don't think I don't think I've ever ordered Thai food one ████ time without it being like soup at the bottom of the bag why does it always like that always Tom Yum on the bottom they tilt that ████ I always know too when I get it I'm like I don't know it could be a ████ mess but it's delicious I feel like they come to your house like this that sucks sometimes you're like ████ man this guy probably couldn't get a job anywhere else and this is his last

6:02 resort because one time I ordered like pho and then like uh I'm so excited I went to his uh he's like I think he messaged me he's like can you come help me because I think there's like a bunch of bulls so I went to his uh to his car he pops his trunk and he goes and he goes oh man the soup outside [Laughter] not in the bowl and I looked and the you know when they have like a big order the soup was soaking through the cardboard box and there was nothing in the ████ bowl and I was like oh ████ I just feel bad when this guy probably couldn't get hired anywhere else I was like oh that's cool man oh no dude I ordered it outside thank you let me give you a tip oh you did man that's why I feel like

6:53 and he was just he was like oh pops up oh ████ oh what'd you do with it you go drain it in the ████ sink no I just somebody just missing one Pho we just had to like share it and split the rest I swear at Thai food places they take the bag and then they they sit there and they put all your trays in order and then they take like a little bit of time to go water balloon it stays warm dude hey what's up with this one this is dry what the ████ you got to get your ████ tummy I'm juicing this thing [Laughter] I've completely got the wrong order and it was like this dude brought I think we

7:45 ordered like Mendocino Farms or something and this guy brought us like a bunch of like fish tacos and burritos and I was like hey man this is this isn't ours and he goes oh man hold on let me go check and I knew he went to go check and there's nothing in the bag that he's checking right so he goes in the back and he that's where he carries all his his orders and I couldn't I can clearly see there's nothing else in the back but he's like oh let me uh let me check and he's like looking at like in the bag and he goes oh that's the only bag I have man and I was like yeah I know he probably gave some someone else your food and he's like oh oh no dude that was it they just ████ left he just ████ left we didn't get an order or nothing do you think some other family was like fish tacos soggy fish tacos that sound like that's gonna suck but it's fine we can only afford soccer fish tacos and

8:35 they're like holy ████ this gave us 22 sandwiches each sandwich is 22. medicinal Farms that place is wild that's good though it's good but oh my god dude get a little couscous like that's fourteen dollars this place is crazy the worst one I got was uh worse than the soup outside the worst thing I got was I was like ████ I really want we're all feeding for this let's get this and it was a far delivery so we're like okay they're gonna be in like 50 minutes that's fine and then so every time we're like you know when you're really craving something you're like checking okay cool to get closer closer closer and I'm okay cool down the main street they made it right I'm like ████ yeah I'm like babe let's get ready the food's gonna be here it's already been in the car for like 15 minutes hey babe the people get to the table get your drinks we're about to eat and we're like this

9:28 and literally ████ two blocks away they canceled the order oh I hate that like if you would have canceled before I could have just reordered but now it's like we've already been starving for ████ like I'm like Oh my what's up hey when that happened find you what happened I think they couldn't find me they're just like ████ it that happened too when we were at the other office oh I'm like dude just what'd you order now I gotta know I forgot but it was something I'm like oh soup inside yeah yeah I'd rather have soup outside because you could ████ around and like do something with the rest I didn't I don't have a funny one my most recent weird one though is this dude who definitely looked like he was down on his luck he was like 20 minutes late with my order so I was already ready to come outside and just be like yo like what's you know what the heck and he comes and he just flustered with ████ he's like ah man dude I just had

10:19 the the worst day I'm like that's an interesting way to start right I'm like hey man you know don't worry about it he's like nah man blah everything is just terrible nothing's going going right and stuff yeah I was like it's all good let me let me get my food and he gives me the food right I'm like hey man I hope you have a better day he's like no man I told you it's it's just it's not gonna work out man if she's bad whoa I was like okay dude wallowing all right man and then that was it maybe that's why nothing's going well for you bud maybe this is the weirdest ████ I literally walk out you know when you're just shook by another human being you just don't know how some people are so open huh what the ████ he's like I just saw somebody die but here's your hamburger yeah it was so weird that would have been that would have had somebody over here yeah there would have been like reasoning yeah you know yeah oh I understand I'm sorry you're going to felt like a dark cloud that's like you know cartoonishly hanging over a
