[quote=Anonymous]WITHOUT the pandemic?

We’ve been way over tipping the whole pandemic, across the board, as our incomes have been unaffected and we’ve been able to work from home. However, due to some large new financial commitments, we need to revamp our whole budget in the next six months or so and spend significantly less money - and at this point we’ve completely lots our sense of what a “normal” good tip is.

We generally get a once a week delivery that’s ALL our food and cyclicals. Generally comes to $200-$300 total. 20% feels a bit ridiculous for this. $40-$60 per week is a LOT of money. I want these drivers to get a living wage, but some quick googling tells me they make around $14 an hour in base wages (so it’s not like a restaurant worker making the $2 per hour tipped minimum wage) and a “typical day” is 9 hours making 17 deliveries, and includes $2500 of groceries delivered. If everyone tipped 20% that would be $70 per hour!!

But what is fair?

Feels like maybe $5 for a small order ($100 or less) and $10 for a large order (which would obviously include us). But I want to see what other people thing or do. [/quote]
