My sister and her DH are preschool/middle school teachers. They really cannot afford a $10 tip on top of the delivery fee (they tip like $8-10% in addition to the delivery charge). They want to support the local restaurants, but are afraid of looking cheap, and even worse, if the delivery person may do something to their food if their tip is small.  What do you suggest?  Should they not order delivery?[/quote]
Delivery charges usually go to the restaurant and tips to the delivery person. If they want individuals to get more of the money they can do curbside pickup. [/quote]

How could the restaurant take the entire delivery fee?  $1 or $2 is fine, but why $4.49?  
How much to tip for curbside pickup?[/quote]

Curbside is like tipping when you pick up at the bar from a restaurant that doesn't normally do take-out. That person had to package your food. [b]Tip as you would for a meal. [/b]
Because the delivery person earns a full hourly wage. How can you possibly think that $4.49 is not worth the time for one individual to get to and from your house, plus gas and car maintenance? How many minutes of you working day would it take you to earn that much?

So to pp, this thread shows that there are lots of people tipping $1 or $2 just because they're cheap, not because they have limited means. It's much better for a restaurant to rather have any business than none. They may pool tips or be doing other things to help their workers now, and to have a job on the other side. [/quote]

I never tip on takeout. Do you tip at McDonalds? The people packaging make a normal wage in the kitchen. Someone taking my credit card doesn't deserve a tip regardless of pandemic or not.[/quote]

+1.  It is Ok to tip $1 or $2 now for curbside takeout, but "tip as you would for meal"?  No![/quote]
