The only time my Skip the Dishes delivery was what I considered outside of a proper time line, I complained and they gave me a discount on my next order.

I never tipped low either...it could have been traffic or something else but I got a discount on my next order.

A little overblown. Drivers get assigned individual orders they can't pick which one to do. They can turn it down if they think it's not worth their time to drive 25 minutes for $3 but that's rare, the delivery fee is based on distance driven anyway so even if you literally tip $0 you're usually alright

All jokes aside, I really hope this guy goes to jail and pays some big fines. Things like this actually do legitimately discourage people from using the service. His stupidity will undoubtedly cause direct and significant loss of business to the restaurant he has delivered for, as well as, indirectly, to all restaurants that use delivery service just because of the possibility of having a similar idiot delivering your food.

Was hoping to read that the salsa had extra Jalapenos and/or ghost peppers, and that he was forced to to go to the hospital.

Alas.

You'd think that would make the rest of his shift sticky and uncomfortable.

If you order the big sausage pizza, the sauce always comes free.

They should remove showing the driver the tip until after the delivery is made. Or do like Uber and Lyft where you tip after the ride...
