On the 13th, U.S. President Trump ordered McDonald’s delivery to the Oval Office in the White House and personally handed a $100 bill (about 390 ringgit) as a tip to DoorDash delivery worker Sharon Simmons.
Wearing a red T-shirt emblazoned with “DoorDash Grandma,” she carried two bags of McDonald’s food, walked to the outside of the White House’s West Wing, and was greeted in person by Trump. The media’s cameras captured the entire scene of this rare White House delivery.
According to U.S. media reports, this grandmother-level delivery worker comes from Arkansas and has 10 grandchildren.
Reports say Trump’s action was intended to promote a new Republican law limiting taxes on tips. Simmons said in an interview that she had been greatly affected by rising gas prices caused by the Iran conflict, but DoorDash has introduced various measures to support delivery workers, and the tip tax exemption policy has also been very helpful.
A DoorDash spokesperson stated that the company has launched an emergency plan, providing delivery workers with a 10% cash subsidy for fuel in addition to weekly relief payments based on their mileage.
