Former Domino’s delivery driver and TikToker Laina Rose has gone viral after receiving a 13-cent tip on a $20 order.
Sitting in her car, Laina reveals more details to her followers about the incident.
“I just took a delivery that was $21 and 37 cents. They gave me $21 and 51 cents.”
She then says, “Fuck yeah! 13-cent tip!” as she buckles her seatbelt.
However, she says in her bio that she no longer works for Domino’s but didn’t elaborate on the details of her departure.
In the caption, she says, “Oh how I don’t miss these days.”

Many viewers actually defended the customer for their tip.
“That’s cus of that delivery fee the company charges. But they think drivers get it as tip, which is not the case,” one person said.
“tip isn’t mandatory I worked for pizza hut,” another added.
“Sorry not sorry but I don’t tip you already getting paid min wage where I’m at it’s 15 an hour if anything I’ll tip the cooks who made the food,” a third declared.
Other former pizza drivers shared experiences of their own in the comments.
“I hated when they said keep the change on a 1 penny tip. I always threw it in their driveway,” a former delivery driver shared.
“I had a guy whose total came to $19.99. He handed me $20 and said to keep the change. I almost went feral,” another recounted.
“One time I had an order that was 20.51, and they gave me $20.50, I never forgot where that house was to this day almost 20 years later,” said another.
One viewer found fault with Laina for complaining about the tip.
“You get paid hourly… tips are for going above and beyond your job… not much more beyond to go than just giving them their pizza,” they said.
Laina replied to the commenter sharing her hourly rate as a delivery driver.
“Drivers get paid 4.25 on the road homie. No one can make a living off that,” Laina said.
