Delivery Drivers; How much do people tip you?

[Ragelicious]

No need for a time machine. Just buy plane ticket to america, and tada you are 150 years back in time.

[Binary Speaker]

Or you don't live in the US.

Sorry ahah, figured living in the US was implied. Bit unclear in my post xD.
Though if you don't like tipping (speaking generally not @ you) get carry out. Then the tip is going into gas and not some kids pocket!

No no. That is just rural PA. Freakin Amish think cars are too mainstream.

I've never tipped a delivery guy.

Why the fuck should I? He gets paid for delivering my goods / food. They get a smile and a thank you.

A dollar.

Really, just a dollar or a two dollar bill. Sometimes I just don't bother. No, I don't plan on creating waves or causing society to realize that tipping is a stupid idea by stiffing the waiter/waitress a few dollars. The restaurant should just pay them a decent wage because I'm a cheap ass and I'm not going to pay more than I need to.

"But would you like it if you worked there!?" That's the thing, I don't apply for fast food jobs. I don't have a problem with hard working, honest jobs. Hell, I'm going to a trade school to learn welding/being an electrician. Fast food tends to be the most under appreciated jobs barring the sex worker and paid the worst and have to put with misers like me that won't part with anymore cash than they are legally are allowed to part with.

Then people balk at me like I'm the spawn of satan when I don't take the time to bust out a calculator to figure out what's ten percent of $21.46 and just give the money I need to part with. Screw you guy in the shotgun, I'll just eat the burger I ordered for you unless you want to tip her.

[Sam the Wiser]

I refuse to tip no matter the cause.

[Deleted]

Nothing because I'm not their employer.

[Conspicuous Cultist]

On the other hand while I thought about it, tipping does get the waiter/waitress pay attention to you more in some cases. In some casinos booze is free as long as your gambling so all you have to do is sit at a slot, pop in a coin every so often, and flag the server when you're out of booze. If you tip them nicely they'll be sure to find your way around more often then you were stiffing them a few dollars.

*Rainbows* Not entirely on topic but the more you know!

Not saying they throw your food around and or spit in it but its a possibility, friends of mine spit on peoples food who don't tip and deliver to them last. Not saying I condone it just saying that's what people do.

What an immature little twat for wanting to get paid twice for doing their job and being a vile little lowlife when people don't pander to their greed.

Your friend deserves to get sacked and prosecuted, and it doesn't say much for your choice in friends either.

[Drungan]

We have this thread every month, it will end up with Americans defending the tipping system and people threatening to spit in the food of non tippers and the rest of the world saying you should pay a decent wage rather than rely on tips.

This is so ...on the money ( giggles )

well Rich is right tho.

[Hainiryuun]

I usually just order pizza if I order anything. And that is usually just a large pizza, hand the guy a 20 and close the door.

[Tommy T]

Well if they do spit on it, I'll have to request they do it all the time. Any food I get from there is always top notch.

I have several friends who do this, and they tell me other people who work with them (delivery drivers) do the same thing. Something to think about when other people are making your food I guess. Also don't put it past your local delivery guys they might be doing the same thing when you leave them with just a smile and no tip.

I almost missed the personal attack, thanks for that. I could honestly care less if my friend spits in someones food that's his business.

[Airwaves]

Nothing here. Our government makes sure you don't have to depend on tips to feed yourself.

Why would they spit in my food? There is no expectency to receive a tip for delivering food here, in Cyprus (where I lived previously), or in England (where I come from), considering they are being paid to deliver it by their employers.

It wasn't a personal attack, it was advice - if that is the type of friends you have, then perhaps it's time to look at yourself and ask why you have such immature friends.

Your insurance comment is wrong, my roommate delivered pizzas throughout college and told me specifically that there is a type of insurance you get that applies to using your vehicle while working. It applies to fast food delivery under the coverage.

If you had any reading comprehension you would have read that different companies with different policies. Pizza Hut does not cover their drivers.
