hey lets treat it like the don't ask don't tell policy

[Viserov]

I've had to pay by check a few times because I didn't have cash on me. If I write the check for larger than what the order cost is, is it certain that the driver will get the change?

[thecableguy]

$1 or 2, if the order is ~18, ill just give a $20 and say keep the change.

[jafoman]

No less than $2... No more than $4... I always round and don't deal with coins so I always round.

[oldmate15]

I am a delivery driver for a chinese restaurant and the $2 I make per delivery DOES NOT cover my costs of driving all the way to the further suburbs that we deliver to.

In Australia we don't have a real tipping system like in the US. Instead we have a 'keep the change' thing for delivery guys.  If I didn't get to 'keep the change' at all I'd overall make a loss on my salary, so why should I even bother doing deliveries then?

I find that usually people with nice cars or houses(i.e. wealthier) are LESS likely to tip me. And asians NEVER tip at all, even for little petty change they usually ask for the change. I'm part asian and I know its a mentality for most asians to have the mentality of "why should I give extra for something I've already paid for". But since working as a delivery guy I know that I lose salary when people don't tip.

Some of my regular big tippers are people like a bus driver and an old lady pensioner. So really being rich or not isn't an excuse not to tip a bit. And for the love of God, if you live far away from the place you are ordering from, give the delivery guy a tip!!! Sometimes I'll drive right out to our delivery boundary, and usually these people never tip.

I'd have to agree, Australians don't tip well. I drive for my local pizza hut and only make about $15 a week in tips. I will disagree and say that Asians usually give tips, not a large amount of money, but most I have been to do tip.

Most likley to tip:

Tradies

Older people

Young people

Poor people

Males

People that don't tip well are middle aged people, rich people and females.

When I am tipped, they usually say to round the change off to the nearest dollar or five. It's always good when they hand you a bit of extra money on top of what they paid with.

[Captain_Wang]

Tipping a couple of pence and saying "here's a little something for the kids" goes down very well, try it.

(Only about 50p usually :()

[Inkorp]

I used to ($2NZD from a $30NZD order), because 90% of the time the delivery boy was one of my mates from school :p but now I've moved and live too far away from the delivery area :(

[Joseph Zollo]

Pizza Guy - $2

Pizza Girl - $5 + Slip of Paper With My Number :D

[mysterious_w]

Never order pizza.

[se7en.hu]

Round it off to the nearest 5$

[cork1958]

We usually order the same thing every time which comes to a hair over $18. Always let him keep the change.

[Adnan248999]

Pizzas are for fatties :p

[gaurav]

Tip him Rs. 10-20 on an order of 200 or above.

Cool thing happened incidently, i ordered some pizzas from Domino's, and they guarantee 30 mins. delivery or free.

Well, he took 35 mins. but asked to pay half the price of the order. and we got free coke. so tipped him Rs 15.

[shakey]

ya, tipping is a must for a extra service. if you dont tip, go pick it up yourself.

i tip all the time, and i barely have enough money after bills and living expenses. I tip becuase it shows you appriate their good service, and good service is almost a must i think. dont tip them, and you get some nasty food, trust me on that, ive had plenty of friends in the food industry tell me what they and others have done to you people who dont tip. all i can say is, i hope you dont kiss your kids with those dirty dirty mouths.

[brucebeh]

i always tip around $3 on a $20 order.

[NX1]

Id use to tip $4 for around a $20 order but nowadays its more like $1 or $2 tip.

[divinatum]

I usually give 4-5 bucks

[downhillmatt2002]

nope i dont tip.. delivery is free and they get paid to do it anyway ;)

nothing bad could happen to pizza, from a big company and its always a different delivery guy anyway

[The Professional]

as a rule anything small like that i just give a 5 as its easy and i dont really care to be bothered thinking about it.

[Acezo]

Always $2-$4 depending on the order

[bayrider]

traditionally at restaraunts ur supposed to tip 10-15%. With delivery its a bit less cause there is no real service like going back and forth to the kitchen, refills etc, if the total is $20 i'll leave $1-$2

[Konefku]

same here.

Likewise

[pcw]

I'm not that lazy to order pizza home ;)

Besides it's only a 5 minute walk there ;)

[eminem213486]

I never have. I don't think anyone in uk tips delivery guys.

I might let him keep the change if it's ?1-?2

It's not like they provide a variable service. They either delivery it, or they don't.

edit: i always tip in restaurants, just not delivery guys. It's not like they do much

586292477[/snapback]

dont do much? they have to find your house and drive in rain,snow, whatever as a service to you... how do you call that doing nothing.

sorry i work at a carwash where sometimes we get "nontippers" and it just ****es the hell out of me.
