Is it still alright to tip?

[Anonymous No.9347581]

Yes, the driver only gets a small portion of the delivery charge.

I always tip at least $5 for delivery.

[Anonymous No.9347583]

If it's a chain pizza place then yes.
The delivery fee is just a way for the company to suck out extra money. None of it goes to the driver.
If it's UberEats or some local place then don't bother tipping.

"Real waiters" don't have to destroy their car just to do their job.

And a $10 order isn't much easier for a driver to bring to you than a $20 order, so it makes no sense to go off percentages with drivers.

I generally tip 3 bucks regardless of what I order. I just from what I've heard from delivery drivers 2-3 bucks is fine, but that was a while ago and it seems like the percentage expected on tips never stops going up, which really doesn't make any sense since a percentage would automatically adjust for inflation anyway.

We don't care about percentages. In a perfect world, you would tip based on how far away you are from the restaurant you are, but that's not perfect either; three miles of city driving is very different from three miles of suburb driving.

Five bucks is a good baseline to go from. If you're right around the corner, don't tip less. Go get it yourself. Even a short run will cause us to have to go out of our way from our other deliveries. I'd rather hook up my good customers than have to make an extra stop to give some NEET his tendies for no tip because he couldn't waddle his ass around the block and doesn't think he should have to tip.

Okay dude but like I said, you're taking advantage of the low prices passed onto you by their employer.

If everyone was like you, it would be literally impossible to find people to deliver pizza. It's hard enough to find anyone willing to do it even for tips.

And then you know what they would have to do? Buy and insure their own cars. Know what that would cause? It would cause your pizza to cost more than it does under the current model (even taking into account a generous tip).

I got a guy to deliver pizza to me on the side of the motorway once. It was the middle of the night, the car had broken down and there was nowhere nearby to eat. I tipped him 50% since we could have easily been waiting behind the bushes to mug him. Other than exceptional service like that though I don't tip those fuckers.

A normal and totally good tip is just a dollar or two. I almost never see a tip that's over 5 unless it's a huge catering order or an order for a full office of people. If you don't tip it's not going to end the world but if you don't tip and your a regular you're more likely to get food that's been fucked with.

Every delivery driver gets a "float" from the shop which is just payment by the shop for fuel costs. Typically in the UK this is £20.

The delivery charge which is typically £1.50-3.00 depends upon the distance and all goes to the driver, the cost of the food goes to the shop.

The tip is up to you and goes to the driver.

The point still stands, a delivery driver usually carries roughly the same amount of food every time he leaves the restaurant, a waiter has to go back and forth the kitchen carrying varying amounts of food every time.
Also, if your $60 steak looks anything less than this, you're getting fucking scammed, not my fault you eat at shitty overpriced restaurants. This specific type of dish (which comes in several plates usually, yes those little bowls are part of order) can be obtained for less than $50.

Wish they would do this where I live. Americans arent going to get rid of tipping unless something drastic, like raising minimum wage by a decent chunk, happens.

This seems like a quick fix.

I love ordering delivery, but the cost I just cannot justify. Even the cheapest place a few blocks from me, Dominoes, has some of the cheapest quality pizza in the country but after a delivery fee and the expected tip a medium pizza comes out to 13 - 15$. Seriously I can go down to the grocery store and get the same size and quality pizza for 6 bucks and 18 minutes in an oven.

Anyone who tips by percentage exclusively is a fucking retard.

Its a good benchmark, but you should be tipping on service.

IE, if I order 4 scotchs vs ordering 4 vodka tonics and I tip by percentage I could be tipping 5$ for the scotchs vs 2 bucks for the vodka tonics. Its the same amount of drinks, the same amount of effort (you could even argue the vodka tonics take more effort) so why would I tip differently? I benchmark my tip off of percentage in most cases but it ultimately comes down to how much effort, particularly over what is expected, the service person puts towards my experience.
