Following the delivery driver's request to forward a video before delivering a Domino's pizza, the video went viral online, and some people criticized the homeowner for her "insane" response.

The discussion around the cultural tipping of a topic sparks debate. Many people recommend that they always tip the delivery person as a salary. Another claimed that they also have no tip because the driver is taking work, and they also have the salary of the company.

In other cases, the story is divided about Uber, which refuses to deliver any orders if the customer tips. Drivers become furious after customers wouldn't pay a gratuity for their $400 food order.

The story about tipping again sparked serious discussion on social media after a video was posted by the account @xaalii_, showing that a delivery driver sparked debate after requesting a customer for a tip before handing over pizza.

The customer not only left a tip but also closed the door, leaving the driver annoyed. 

The video has the caption, "Come get it, you know, next time," which sparked debate on social media.

In the footage, after the customer was given the food, the driver asked for a tip immediately. The owner seemingly dismisses it, saying, “I’m paying for the convenience, though. Thank you, and have a nice day. Take care.”

In response to the nonchalant attitude, the driver said, "Come get it, you know, next time," before returning to their car without the empty-handed. 

The video quickly went viral on social media and sparked discussion among viewers

While many users said the customer was not wrong because the delivery driver had received it for their job and the customer could not depend on the price of the order, another criticized the customer for their rude behavior with the driver.

The clip, uploaded by @user626366461, has now gone viral on TikTok and sparked a fiery exchange among viewers. 

One person said: I always tip, but if the delivery driver spoke to me like that, demanding the tip before I could even get my pizza, they would get nothing. 

A second wrote: That person is beyond rude and has no respect for anyone. Tipping is based on service. And that kind of service deserves zero tipping.

While a third commented: A tip is earned and given out of the goodness of my heart… if they ask, yes they will get a tip… but a much smaller one that I would have originally decided on… if they don’t like it… add the gratuity as a separate entity on the check and don’t expect anything else.

Someone else said: Driver set themselves up badly. Got snarky with them (understandable) but could have just went to management and gotten them blacklisted.
