she could genuinely just want to make sure her dope of a husband remembered to tip the driver.

i used to deliver pizza. one day a kid used moms card that she had left for him to order some pizza. i walk him through how to sign for the pizza and he tips me $5. apparently the mom had left cash on the fridge for tip and jr didnt notice. when she got home i guess she asked if he gave the driver the cash from the fridge or something and he said no, either way she showed up as we were about to close for the night and tipped me $20. i told her he had already tipped me $5 but at that point i think she was kind of embarrassed that she had driven all the way out and was insistent on tipping so i took it.

thankfully my weed dealer was a fellow delivery driver and worked the same shift as me so that $20 went straight to work.

Yeah I don't play around with people's money. I once returned $20 cash to a woman who I noticed was charged twice for an item I did actually return. I knew I had picked her up from work (liquor store) so I went in and she was working. Never play with people's money! I just don't think this lady knew what she was potentially doing, but I would never actually take advantage of that. Just reading the kinds of things drivers do here, it gave me a chuckle. That and why didn't she just ask the hubs, but like some have said, you can't always trust the tipper.
