Do you (still) tip on to-go pizza?

[Anonymous]

Two pizzas last night were nearly $40. I ordered over the phone and picked them up. I used Apple Pay and said screw it, no more tip.

This is a very in the moment thing for me. Sometimes yes sometimes no. But if I were picking up 2 pizzas I probably wouldn’t tip more than $4.

Before you all come for me I make under 100k and I can’t tip on every single purchase that has an iPad spun at me

No. I know Tom Sietsema says he tips on to-go dinners, because someone still has to assemble it, but for pizza, no, I don't tip them for putting the pizza in the box.

Not if I'm picking up.

I’d generally tip $1 a pizza for something like that but it depends.

Honestly I’ve gotten to the point where I’m not counting my pennies and I think the people who are working these places are generally working hard and probably getting squeezed worse than me so I don’t mind slipping them a couple bucks.

I tip a couple dollars if I'm picking up pizzas and they're ready for me.

Sort of depends if it’s a pizza place or more of a restaurant— but $2-5 either way.

I picked up a single pizza yesterday and I left two dollars.

I havent picked up pizza in years, but no probably not.

A couple bucks if I’m picking up. But I also think $0 is fine.

My kid delivers pizza for Dominoes. The workers inside the store are making minimum wage. The delivery people make about $5/hr. So when my kid is out on a delivery my kid is getting that, but when returns and is inside the store, the salary increases to minimum wage. The store is able to track the delivery people so know when they are out on a delivery or inside store. You don't need to tip the worker inside the store (like when picking up), but please do tip your delivery people. My kid delivers on a bicycle. I'm amazed at how many no-tippers are out there. Never realized this until my kid started doing this work. I have never in my life not tipped a delivery person.

Well, it's more than that. They shape the dough, add the toppings, and cook it. But I agree, you don't need to tip on pick-up.

I tip a small amount, typically around 10%, for take-out when I like the people and the food is decent. When I try out a new place, I do not tip, because I don't know if I'll like it. There is a place whose food we like that we've gone to, infrequently but regularly over the years, and the woman manning the phone and handing us our order is not that pleasant. I've decided they still deserve a little tip.

So basically I'm loyal.
