Delivery driver returns groceries after customer doesn’t tip on $400 order

A frustrated ‘delivery driver’ left TikTok viewers divided, after taking back a customer’s groceries because they didn’t tip on a $400 order. However, it’s not totally as you’d believe.

In a viral clip with 2.5 million views, a supposed delivery driver was filmed engaging in a heated exchange with a couple over a tip for a large grocery order.

“You should see how much work this was and why I should be getting a tip because of how much work this was,” the driver said, emphasizing the importance of tipping, while the customers maintained their stance that it’s optional.

“They’re not for you anymore,” she said while putting the groceries back in her vehicle. This had some viewers enraged as they believed it was a real video.

“Always tip. The people that say ‘Tipping is optional’ are the ones that’s broke,” one viewer commented. “No tip? Girl bye I’m with the driver,” another added. “$400 AND NO TIP? I’m with her,” someone else shared.

Plenty of others argued that it was “staged” because of the way the video was recorded. “I’m sure it’s a skit but this is true! DO NOT have stuff delivered if you won’t tip. And tip well!” said one. “This is staged, come on!” added another.

Those skeptics have, of course, turned out to be right. The account it was posted on has repeatedly posted similar pranks and skits from across the web. Though, if you were tricked into believing this was real, you’re not the only one.
