KimmyCo🤗❤ was touched by the man:

"💔💔💔This kills me. This exact thought always goes through my mind when they deliver to us. I always try to make sure a decent tip is given. Honestly, I wish Mr D would give an option where a driver can take more than one order if the places are close to each other, which makes this tip more."

Ash admitted the video was eye-opening:

"🥺I didn't think of it in that way 😭I'm glad I always tip."

"Imagine working at a restaurant and you have to bring your lunch😭"

"The way I always have Powerade and fruits on standby when I can't tip 😭.'

Ben | Travelling Explorer.✈️🌊🏝 joked:

"Some drivers let their intrusive thoughts win. They just eat our food. 😭😭😭"

murhandziwa added his experience as a delivery driver:

"And each and every order that we deliver, we only earn R27,50; they don’t even care about the distance."

sunshine.s5 added:

"We carry lunch boxes to work from last night’s supper so that we don’t get hungry throughout the day."

Pharaoh🇿🇦 suggested:

"Every delivery guy should have some meal allowance; this also ensures customers' food is not tampered with."

Shella🇿🇦 wondered:

"Ok, who is not tipping their driver? Even R5 is better than nothing! If everyone who orders pays at least something, then they can have a good salary man.'

Mc.lovin89 joked:

"It’s tough, bru, I work in a bank safe and I’m broke. Hang in there."
