[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what was the average tip you got in this area?[/quote]

OP here. It's hard for me to put it in average tip terms but on a typical Friday/Saturday night, from say 6p-11p, pay can range between $80-$130 for me. These two nights are obviously when people order most often, and tend to tip more as they're getting food for the household vs during breakfast or lunch, oftentimes it's a meal for one, so lots of small to zero tips. I do set aside 20% as I know I'll owe during tax time as an independent contractor but no surprise there when doing this type of work. [/quote]

I’m a low paid essential worker and that’s more than I make in an evening babysitting, so I’m cool with not tipping. I’m already paying for the service. Since you do so well in tips, you will be fine without money from me. [/quote]

Lol. Ordering food is a luxury, not a necessity.  I'll tip a few bucks regardless. [/quote]

I didn’t say it’s a necessity. Which is why I’m paying for what I purchased, and only that. It’s not my job to pay Uber’s employees. [/quote]

What? They’re underpaid and are devoting their service time *to you* for a minimum of 20 minutes. If you don’t tip you are exploiting them and should be ashamed of yourself.[/quote]

They’re being exploited by Uber and the restaurant industry, not the essential worker who’s trying to limit people being exposed to Covid by ordering home. Wouldn’t tipping just enable that exploitation to go on forever?[/quote]
