Viral X Post Shows Swiggy Delivery Partner With Child Declining Tip for Rating

The user account is fueling questions about gig‑worker support, including the lack of post‑delivery tipping on Instamart.

Overview

  • A customer identified the rider as Ajay and shared a photo of his young son on the bike, saying the rider refused a cash tip and requested a positive rating.
  • The post by X user Vineeth K drew widespread, sympathetic reactions praising the rider’s humility and professionalism.
  • Vineeth said he found no option to tip after delivery on the Swiggy app for Instamart orders and tagged the company seeking a solution.
  • He added that in‑app support told him post‑delivery tipping is unavailable for Instamart, which fed broader calls for easier tipping features.
  • Several outlets noted the story originated from user‑generated content and said they had not independently verified the details, with no widely reported official response from Swiggy.
