A homeowner who was sworn at by her DoorDash driver for what he deemed to be an insufficient tip has sent a message to the now-redundant delivery man.
News emerged that the driver, Corey, who was given a $5 tip for a $22.78 order, was dropped by the company after giving his thoughts on the gratuity in unsavory fashion.
He told Lacey Purciful, 38, that she had a ‘nice house for a $5 tip,’ which the shocked homeowner could only respond to with: ‘You’re welcome.’
Not taking kindly to that reply, Corey left with a parting ‘f*** you’ as Lacey shut the door.
Now, Lacey has responded to the driver, as she shared a picture of her order receipt.
Lacey Purciful, 38, was shocked and reported the ordeal after Corey, the worker, suggested someone living in a $500,000 home like herself should have been more generous
Lacey shared her order receipt on TikTok, which showed she had given a 22 per cent tip to the driver
Speaking to Inside Edition, she told Corey: ‘If you didn’t like it then I’m sorry, maybe go find a job that pays more.’
She also shared a screen shot of her receipt on her TikTok, saying it was ‘the receipt some have been dying to see!’
The $5 tip for a $22.78 order, for breadsticks and a medium pizza from Pizza Hut, constitutes a 22 per cent tip – way over what is usual for a small order.
People commenting on the clip were amazed by the whole affair.
One said they were a ‘former DD driver. Would never complain about a tip.’
Another admitted: ‘I would tip 2 dollars for a 20 dollar order.’

After the story originally emerged, commenters were already in overwhelming support of the tipper.
One wrote: ‘Tipping is out of control. 5 on 20 is more than enough.’
Some of Lacey’s friends on Facebook also weighed in.
One was especially appalled: ‘WTF?! Obviously he don’t even need the money! Because someone who needs the money/job wouldn’t be risking it over a tip!
‘And you ordered $20 worth of food, what did he expect? A $20 tip? You were way too nice.’
Another added: ‘I laugh harder each time I watch this.. you were so nice and the super calm.’
Instead of getting aggressive in person, the mom-of-two graciously thanked Corey and told him ‘you’re welcome’ before closing the door, despite his aggression on her porch

In addition to firing the short-tempered driver, DoorDash have since given Lacey $80 in credit to spend on future orders.
Their spokesperson told DailyMail.com after the incident: ‘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.
‘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.’
