Hi, pls tip your Postmates drivers.

my son did postmates for a couple of months and actually made bank. for every jerk who didn't tip, he got one who tipped 50% or more. once he got a tip of $25 for a $3.35 starbucks delivery.

that aside, i feel like there are so many delivery services now that allow tipping at the time of order that a lot of people might take it for granted that when the food shows up, the tip is already covered. not because they recall adding it, but perhaps because they're so used to adding it elsewhere that they don't realize with postmates it's not automatic.

i'm a notoriously generous tipper and i've been caught five minutes after the delivery is made realizing 'holy shit, i didn't tip!

none of this helps you, of course. i suppose i'm mostly attempting to provide awareness for customers who might be reading this.
