The internet has been split over how customers have reacted to the driver's requests.

An ongoing online dispute centers around the contentious issue of tipping.

This specific exchange has revived the tipping debate, leading social media users to express staunch views on either side.

Regardless of whether you consistently support compensating service providers or feel that tipping norms have become excessive, there's a universal consensus.

Treating individuals with respect, be they workers or customers, is of utmost importance.

A recent viral TikTok has been the source of all the commotion.

In the video, a pizza delivery driver boldly requests a tip from a customer even before delivering the ordered pizza.

The customer appears surprised by the driver's impoliteness initially, but it is her reaction that escalates the situation.

Following the initial tip request, the driver further inquires if the woman has her own vehicle, suggesting she should have personally picked up her food.

"Well, I'm doing it for the convenience," the customer responds "Have a good day."

"Yeah, well, come get it next time," the driver hits back.

This exchange has triggered an online debate, prompting a TikToker to craft a comprehensive response to the original video.

@AmyJackson9213 says: "This one makes me mad. If you are having a pizza delivered to your house and you have someone driving their car, using their gas money to bring it to you, like you seem awfully entitled, not them asking for a tip."

She continued: "That's what you do, you give a tip if somebody is literally bringing food to your home. You give them a tip! And for you to say she's entitled – I think you're a little entitled."

"Because that's icky to me. Because you didn't even give her a penny and she drove all the way to your house to give you pizza… Yikes."

Nevertheless, some individuals strongly object to the driver's display of rudeness.

One questioned: "Don't they get paid to do their job?"

"You should never ask for a tip, that's a huge ick in my book," another added.

While a third questioned: "Is that not what [the] delivery charge is?"

A fourth pointed out: "The person in the video didn't even give them a chance to tip… she didn't even hand over the pizza before being like tip??"
