[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a big tipper, but what if the food total is just $15?  Even I'm not going to tip $10 for that.  Would it be better just not to do Uber eats for smaller orders? I generally try to tip around 25%, with a minimum of $5.  (Except for our regular 
weekly pizza guy  - I always tip him $10, which is around 50%.)[/quote]

So, to be very honest, the few times I made small orders, I still tipped around $10. This is ONLY because I now see it from the driver's perspective. As a customer pre-Pandemic, I would never have done that. 
I think your $5 minimum is still great. [b]So many don't tip at all so it definitely makes a difference.[/b] Hope this helps =)[/quote]
That’s unconscionable. I’m sorry drivers are being stiffed. I don’t leave huge tips, but I would never tip less than $5 for delivery and frequently tip more. I’ll admit, I was super generous in the early months, but now getting delivery is the new normal. It’s hard to balance all the different parts. I want to help keep restaurants open, so we’ve actually increased the frequency of our restaurant dining, but I’m not going to dine in, because I don’t think that’s safe. Pre-pandemic, I’d never had anything but pizza delivered. I always picked up my food. But now we’re eating out more often, so I’ve started using delivery sometimes, and I thought that helped the economy because it provides an income stream for people like OP. Aren’t I stimulating the economy more by ordering restaurant delivery and tipping $5-8 than I would be by eating my own groceries? [/quote]
