added that he generally prefers tipping delivery workers in cash, but this interaction stood out. The delivery partner, identified as Ajay, refused the tip without a second thought and instead asked to be rated well for his work.“I usually tip directly. He politely refused the tip. He just wanted a good rating for his service,” the post adds.

The story quickly resonated with users on X, sparking an outpouring of admiration for the delivery partner’s humility and work ethic.“Most of them never expect any tip; all they wanted was a good rating,” one user commented.Another speculated about his background, writing, “I guess he had a dignified employee status earlier, but due to a layoff or financial issues, he chose to work in the gig economy, which may be why he did not accept tips.”A third user shared a different perspective, saying, “Just tip him in cash. If he doesn't take it, that's his pride, so don't force it.''
