Doordash told ABC News it has removed the driver from the platform.

If you see an iPad at checkout, you can bet you'll be asked if you'd like to leave a tip. But should you tip if you're standing at self-checkout?

"I just want to say, it's a nice house for a $5 tip," the driver was heard saying on camera. To which the woman replied, "You're welcome." And the driver further escalated the situation with an expletive directed at her. The video has been a catalyst for conversation, further amplifying the debate over tipping culture and many are saying expectations for tips have gone too far.

Tipping has increased in recent years, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic that left restaurants reeling for every penny following the government shutdowns, expensive safety protocols and changes, rising food costs, supply chain hurdles and other factors that have raised the overall cost of eating out.

Etiquette educator Diane Gottsman defined the term for ABC News and explained why some folks are feeling weary when adding even more gratuity.
