Do you tip pizza delivery people?

[Apollo]

at least 1 or 2?

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.

[yeahright]

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.

A dollar a pizza is a fair rate... that is what I tip...

[devilfruit]

I treat pizza just like going out to dinner, always leave about 20%. Maybe I'm too generous, but when you've been there yourself...

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.

If I had enough money and the pizza's are good quality and fast with delivery and the service is good yes, otherwise no

If I have any money left over I usually tip. :)

[DomZ]

Don't really tip to be honest, unless I'm out somewhere.

[munashii]

I usually let them keep the change, which most of the time isn't much. I believe the tip is included in the price, but I'm not sure.

[amrinders87]

Never get it delivered.

Well, at least you know that the tip goes straight to the delivery person by handing him extra cash.

Same goes for servers in dine-in restaurants. It is better to give than to receive. ;)

Are they Athlon 64's? :rofl:

I usually tip ~2$ CAD, which I think is not too much and not too little, just right.

[CruJones]

I always tip everyone that delivers something to me. I usually throw them $2-3 on average.

[madnuke]

Oh I always tip, its good etique :)

[galoosh33]

Of course! Otherwise it doesn't feel nice, cause the delivery guy is most probably expecting a tip... but for pizza, I usually tip very little (mainly because I don't have high-priced orders).

[Kupo-Cheer]

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.

[Premgenius]

No, never

[ste]

I usually tip them.

[ZiGGA]

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.

[sachleen]

HAHA, some of us here are sooo mean to people.

[_I am Reptar]

Yea man , i ordered at 12 am once, poor guy, i always tip 2-3 bucks

[+SOOPRcow MVC]

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.

[yisman]

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.

[Glorious]

I sometimes tip delivery guys if the food is fast in getting to me. ;)
