DoorDasher Fired For Cursing Out A Woman After She Gave Him A $5 Tip On A $20 Order
Lacey Purciful was happy. Her pizza had arrived and she couldn’t wait to dig in.
Even her dog Max was excited, and went into the yard to greet the DoorDash driver, Corey, after Lacey opened the front door of her Texas house.
But Corey himself was in a completely different mood. He was very disappointed that Lacey tipped him “just” $5 on her $20 order.
He felt like he deserved more and he wanted the woman to know that. What he didn’t know, however, was that Lacey had a security camera and a TikTok account (@ladybug3660) where she could post the footage if he went out of line. Which was exactly what happened.

Lacey, a 38-year-old mom of two, told Daily Mail that she was in a head-on collision in March with an alleged drunk driver, and currently has serious injuries to her spinal cord. Because of this, she can’t cook and has been relying on DoorDash to feed her family since then.
“I worked in the restaurant industry for years before joining the military, I’m a very good tipper,” Lacey said.
“Earlier in the day I tipped an elderly DoorDash driver $5.50 for a $17 order of half a dozen donuts, and then I gave him an extra $5. I tipped him over 50%.”
Her delivery has already been viewed over 26 million times on TikTok. It included a $16 medium pizza and a portion of breadsticks, costing the woman $22 dollars.
The Pizza Hut which she ordered from was just a six-mile drive from her home.
Lacey said that the driver, who is described as being in his late twenties, started running off her lawn after he shouted the profanity on Friday night.
Lacey’s husband later contacted DoorDash and they gave him a $5 voucher, but after the family escalated the problem, the company launched an investigation.
Then they gifted Lacey $75 for her troubles, but she said that the ordeal has 100 percent still left a sour taste in her mouth.
“I’ve had problems with DoorDash before,” she said, adding that orders are often left on her doorstep without drivers informing her they’ve arrived, and drivers take so long that her food is no longer edible.
The Texan shared their interaction on her TikTok account
@ladybug3660 My lovely Dasher Corey believes I should be tipping 50% 🤔🤡🫣🍕#doordash #doordashdriver #doordasher #doordashers #pizza #pizzalover #pizzahut #fyp #momsoftiktok #momsover30 #bigmad #rude #vivint #vivintdoorbellcamera #smile @DoorDash @DoorDash ♬ original sound – Lacey Purciful
And after it went viral, the driver was fired
A DoorDash spokesperson told Newsweek: “Respectfully asking for a tip is acceptable, but abusing or harassing someone is never acceptable. We’ve removed this Dasher from our platform and reached out to the customer.”
The spokesperson added: “Our rules exist to help ensure everyone who uses our platform—Dashers, customers, merchants—have a safe and enjoyable experience. We expect everyone to treat others with respect, and we will enforce our rules fairly and consistently.”
The whole ordeal reignited the age-old debate on tipping culture in the US
What do you think ?

I think I've seen enough posts about the tipping situation in the US. Customers are unsatisfied, employees are unsatisfied, the only ones rubbing their hands with content are the employers. Either change the situation or accept it and move on. 🤷♀️

What bothers me even more is when the service person does nothing other than ring up my purchase and the credit card display asks how much I want to tip. There is this pressure as they are standing right there in front of me and I don't want to look cheap - I hate it so much.
