What's a regular tip for delivery?

[Lux Ione]

I live in the pacific north west any delivery drivers know how much is a average tip on a $24.00 order from Jimmy Johns?

[Independent voter]

20% so that's like $4-$5 dollars.

As a delivery driver I never really worried about a percentage. If I have to drive half way across the city I would like to have been tipped more than if I just delivered around the block.

With that said, my standard was always $2 minimum. If I got 2 bucks and I would leave satisfied. More was always better of course, but anything less than $ just felt like a waste of my time.

depends, is there a delivery charge?

Yeah I've always given at least $2. If it's a big order, I try to match the scale of the order (usually between 10-15%) with my tip.

Delivery charges don't go to the drivers, unfortunately.

Generally (and I say generally, but I have never seen anything to contrary) the delivery charge does nothing to compensate the driver. They still make whatever minimum tip wage is ($2.13/hr around here)

As far as tipping in the pacific northwest goes, I probably wouldn't tip. I might toss them a couple bucks if they gave me a reason to by doing something exceptional such as picking me up a six pack. Delivery drivers are paid at the least whatever the minimum wage is (~$9/hr) BEFORE tips in Oregon and Washington.

Depends on the company. Dominoes pays the driver a portion of the delivery charge. You're also still being paid your hourly wage while delivering.

May be different economies but 18 an hour where I live is more than a liveable wage.

When I worked Jimmy John's here in Mississippi, the people around here are used to the tipping culture. In the better parts of town I could get up to $15 tips from people. I got a $200 tip from the university I studied at. Jimmy John's is a good place to work for as far as tips go.

[kyoloco]

atleast 15%

i usually give 20% though

unless my girl yells at me

[Zafire]

I usually only tip $4-5 no matter how much I pay

[Captain N]

It depends on the distance and the weather conditions. I've tipped $20 on a $10 pizza because it was a torrential downpour and the driver was smart enough to carry an umbrella so he and my pizza didn't get wet.

Really? another thread about tipping?

15% if you're feeling cheap
20% if you're a normal person
More if you're awesome.

[Sam the Wiser]

Pro tip: Don't tip.

No they dont, It says so on the box, none of the charge goes to us at all.

As a rule of thumb and to echo what someone said before, it doesnt bother me on how much you order, i can carry 3 bags fine, its the distance. But 2 min makes me happy. Judge it by a rule of thumb of how far you are from the pizza place, and try not to order durring peak times ie durring week 4-7 and you will get your pizza much faster. If a pizza place is close by ill tip 2-3. If they have to driver 10+ minutes to get to me i go at least 5 or more.

[prwraith]

Pro tip: Don't tip.

They're legally obligated to report tips so if they don't get tipped they get paid at least minimum wage. Imo if we all stop tipping they'll be just fine.

$5.

Just the tip?

[Rooskie1993]

I tip nothing, we don't tip here in Australia because we have proper wages and the places usually pay the drivers/waiters etc.

People seriously spend $50 on a meal (which isn't even that much) and tip $10? Guess I'm just cheap then.
