The most aggravating things about being a driver 3. People who write a check for the next highest dollar. It is bad enough to receive a 17-cent "tip" in coins, but it is a supreme insult to see it written on a check. You can write a check for any amount you want. There is absolutely no reason to give the driver mere coins from a check. For example, I took a $12.73 order to a customer who hadn't yet written the check. I told her it was $12.73 before she wrote it and I repeated it as she wrote. The customer even said "$12.73" as she wrote the amount. She wrote it for $13.00. A big 27 cents for the tip! If the order is $12.73, you can write the check for $13.73 or $14.73. I would rather see $12.73 than $13.00. That would show more respect. Because a check can be made for any amount, it shows the true nature of the customer's heart. To fill out a check and dump 27 cents on the driver for a so-called "tip" is the pinnacle of rudeness.
