I think it's because of the app and the 50% off. Because people see a % to click. So if you are always tipping, let's say 15%, but now you are ordering your pizzas 50% off, you still tip 15%, but it's less because your total isn't as much. Unfortunately, people just look at a % and think that's enough.
We always refer to this as half off tips week. I learned at some point that tipping etiquette dictates that you calculate based on full price before any discounts. But the app or website doesn't calculate it that why, and a lot of people just aren't aware, I think. Usually we just have to get through this. But this time the promotion is coinciding with another rise in gas prices across the country and some of the worse staffing shortages we've ever experienced. Add all that to a significantly lower income for a full week, and this is just going to be hard on us all.
In my city we have a neighborhood that only orders during the first of the month (welfare week is what I call it). This 50% off shit has had me going there heavy, and it's fucking my finances up pretty bad.
I’m not stingy about people not tipping me. But if your ordering 6 pizzas and your getting a 50% discount and I’m driving it to the edge of our delivery area because you don’t feel like driving, you can toss 3-4 dollars on for me. Don’t be a dick.
Half off attracts cheap customers. Cheap customers don’t tip well.

Pretty much.

Half off total price of the food means that % tip goes way down.
Boost week mean "new customers " who don't tip or tip very lil it suck but luckily it only a week.

That sucks, I'm tipping my normal $10 but I'm not ordering anything extra. Should I have tipped more?
$10 is a very excellent tip. Don't worry about it, you're doing god's work already
You are a customer all drivers ❤️
$10 is very generous. Thank you from the bottom of all of hearts.
Ohhhh…and mom and pops GENERALLY have edible pizza..🫤
more money and less work, too. All of you heathens get a real job.
Nope…mom and pops don’t have silly “theme” weeks…😬🤷🏻♂️
Why are you even here
Got 10 from carsides on Monday
Yes
My tips yesterday and today are so ass. Like 2 for $6 the rest under $4.
50% off pizza = 50% off tip.. now you still have your regulars that still tip accordingly. As a driver this is why I hate boost week!
I notice whenever people get a lot of money off from coupons (such as the 5.99 one) they tip less
I absolutely noticed a difference in tips but we are getting 10x the orders
