Subject: With the cost of gas right now, how much would you tip for pizza delivery?
Anonymous wrote:$5 was a good tip when I was a delivery driver. I made my last delivery in 2008.
I generally tip a flat $10 no matter what I order. Delivery driving isn't like being a waiter where the level of service expected roughly corresponds to the meal price. It takes roughly the same amount of effort and expertise to deliver a burrito as it does a family's worth of Indian food. You can't tip $2 just because you only ordered an $10 burrito but on the flip side there's no need to tip $30 on a $150 order either unless you're feeling particularly generous.
The exception is when you order something that obviously throws off their normal ability to collect tips from other orders. It has been 18 years and I STILL remember and resent those cheap SOBs at the French International School who ordered 150 pizzas, made me take 5 trips back and forth, and tipped nothing.
They may not have had a way to tip.

Also don’t talk to me about gas prices because now we pay a surcharge. It’s not my job to supplement their wages. If you don’t like it, get another job. I’m a nanny and no one tips me!
Imagine admitting to being trash like this. No one tips you because you don’t make (below) minimum wage.
Strongly advise you not to order delivery from the same place more than once.
I order Uber eats once a month and Walmart delivery weekly (with door dash) so I can get all my Amex benefits. Nothing has ever happened to my food, and if it has, then that just shows my great immune system. Don’t like it? Get a different job! I’m a nanny and going to school to do exactly that. It’s not my job to supplement other peoples wages.

I prefer to pick up, personally, and for that I tip 10%. Adding delivery would increase my tip to 20%.
However, I think business owners should train their employees to serve every customer well regardless of how they tip, and even if they don't. Which means first and foremost pay them well.
I don't think your delivery issue has anything to do with the tip.

cost of a gallon of gas, round up to the next dollar. So if $4.20, $5 tip.

Nobody cares what you “don’t wanna hear.” If you’re that cheap, get off your lazy ass and go pick up your own food.
