Do you tip pizza delivery people?


Recommended Posts

I find tipping for trivial things vulgur. The employers should pay them enough - if they can't earn money without tips then they should find a proper job. However, if I am at a restaurant and the service is helpful and the meal is nice then I will tip as they are going beyond the expected service.

I guess it's a cultural thing, though. In the US tipping is effectively required for people to earn money but here in the UK it isn't like that.

yeah i don't know about pizza delivery but waiters and waitresses only make like 4.00 an hour the rest of the money the resteraunt expects them to make it up in tips. It is expected for everyperson that you serve leave you a tip. In fact some resturants (not many but some) bill 15% on your bill for a tip, so they know that the waiter will get a tip.

here in the U.S. pizza delivery in some places pizza delivery is the same way, but in others it isn't.

always tip, esspecially in the states. give them at least a 5. think about it. he is using his car or bike. i have always tipped huge and have never had to wait for a pizza. it doesnt matter if its the super bowl or any huge event when they are normally busy. take care of your delivery person and they will take care of you. the same thing goes for bartenders, tip them huge and you wont have to wait for a drink and if you keep it up you will almost always get a drink or 2 on the house. i know this because i am a bartender, been doing it for 6 years and this is a widely known thing. the more you tip the more you get.

I never saw a lady doing delivery.  I give 2$ each time what ever they bring me.

I've been delivered to a couple of times by ladies before. One of them was in their late teens to early 20's, and the other was an older lady, probably 40's to 50's with missing teeth. I tipped the latter like $5 because I felt so bad for her.

Most places I know of force you to tip them (The tip is included in the bill)... I don't think I would tip well, if at all, since its their friggin jobs and all they have to do is drive around which is hardly tough work.

Unluckily, where I live no place delivers anyway.

Yea I give em the extra cash it's no big deal.. Just round it off to the nearest 5-10-15-20 etc

I just have to tip I can't not tip.. It's strange because you won't tip a Bus driver yet you'll tip a Taxi driver even though a taxi costs more. Doesn't meant I'm gonna start tipping the Bus driver though.

I always tip a pizza guy though.

Don't just assume that the tip is included in the bill if there is a delivery charge. Most of the time the drivers get maybe half of that charge. Just ask who ever you talk to on the phone. :)

Oh and please for the love of god know what you want to order before you call... I swear to god that ****es people (me) off to no end.

Oh yeah... and for you people who say all they have to do is drive... we'll yeah, and gas aint free and you can bet your ass the company isn't paying for it.

Usually $10 for the pizza guy.  Poor guy is always getting shafted by the cheap skates around here. Sorry, but I would be ashamed of myself for giving them 1 or 2 dollars.

Holy crud. Wouldn't that be almost as much as a normal order? Unless you're ordering for like an entire hotel or something.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
