DoorDash Driver Receives Pre-Packaged Bag of Coins as Tip: 'Is This a Literal Dime Bag?'

Tipping on services like DoorDash, and in general, has become a hot button topic of debate online.

Working in customer service can be unpredictable, with interactions ranging from pleasant to downright bizarre. One DoorDash driver recently encountered the latter when a customer tipped them with a bag of coins, sparking a viral TikTok video.

In a clip posted by user Wilfredo (@wilfredoluciano on TikTok), he shares his surprise at receiving an unusual tip after delivering a single sauce packet from Taco Bell.

“Let me just say that I never thought in a million years that any DoorDash was going to top that one time when I delivered one singular sauce packet from Taco Bell, but my goodness,” Wilfredo says in the video. “Taco Bell has done it again, because—do you want to see my tip from this most recent order I just did?”

He then proceeds to reach into his pocket and pull out a small, plastic-wrapped bag containing coins.

“What is that?” he continues. “Is this a literal dime bag? There’s got to be like 50 cents in here max. Why is it wrapped like narcotics?”

The Daily Dot has reached out to Wilfredo via TikTok direct message regarding the video.

Tipping on services like DoorDash, and in general, has become a hot-button topic of discussion online, with some encouraging others to always tip at least 20%. On the other hand, there are anti-tippers who believe that employers should abolish the tipping system and simply pay their employees more, rendering tips unnecessary.

One viewer suggested that the customer was attempting to avoid being rude despite not having enough money to leave a proper tip.

“I actually respect this tip more than a lot of others,” a commenter wrote. “they probably couldn’t afford to tip but didn’t wanna be rude. unless it was a big expensive order, I like it.”

Another shared his own experience with an unusual order, though it was very specific.

“Bro fr uber be giving me stupid orders too bruh someone ordered some dumb ah condoms and I didn’t know until I got there I would’ve declined that sh*,” a commenter wrote.
