Do you tip pizza delivery people?

[bayrider]

and some live in apts and tall buildings, some with no elevators. Though i hvae an elevator, its a pain in the ass to carry **** up especially if its hot. I appreciate a fast delivery too.

[Draconian Guppy]

Yes, well unless he's like horribly late :p but $4-5 for a $20, some people live on tips, so why not...

[Tomi]

If it's a $18 order or whatever, I just give him a $20 and tell him to keep the change.

I don't like wasting time waiting for change, nor do I want him to waste his time, you know?

I've worked in pizza for almost four years now, where I live maybe one in twenty orders doesn't tip. Pizza guys LIVE on their tips, minimum wage doesn't pay the bills. they do more of a service than most waiters and waitresses do, in most pizza places one of many drivers will take your order, make your pizza, cook it, bag it and deliver it. plus, why wouldn't you tip someone that knows your address and your phone number?

haha....nice ending there buddy. Kinda freaked me out ;)

[AndurilShards]

tipping them gives me a good feeling inside :)

usually what's left of the $20 or $25 bills

a bit over 3 dollars every time

[_kane81]

most of the time NEVER!!!!

sometimes I say don't worry about the change when it is like 5-10 cents

Am I a tight ass, NO!

It is Australian culture thing. We dont tend to tip for things like pizza. If you go to a restaurant, then you might tip if the service is really good.

[beardly]

A couple bucks usually.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

ALWAYS

Sorry for screaming, but I feel strongly about tipping.

When I was really, really young, my dad, to make ends meet, delivered pizzas, and my mother worked the register at the same place. They would take me with them to work, and since I had ants in my pants, I would go with my dad on the deliveries alot. I would see the absolute and utter look of disappointment on his face when he would not get any tips, and I also saw just how hard he worked and how most people showed him not one bit of respect at all.

That stayed with me all the way to the present day and I am now 30 years old.

I dont care if they are late, whatever, I always tip at least 4 dollars, if not more.

[RubySlippers]

Last time I got delivery the total was almost 30 dollars so I tipped them 8-something.

It was my way of apologizing for using all $1's to pay him :p poor fella, standing there in the freezing cold while it was counted out...One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight......

I would but my family almost always goes out an just gets it ourselves. I would feel bad with a $1-2 tip (I would give probably $4-5) but maybe the tip should be less than when you are dinning in. I guess I wouldn't feel so bad giving them a $1-2 tip, if I said to keep the change because maybe they wouldn't be smart enough to realize how much tip they made until they have left :shifty: .

Pizza, yeah prolly 2 bucks.. now in restraunts its different. If the waiter/ress is a idiot/mean (like last month the waitress gave me attitude when i asked for a refill on my iced tea, then got me soda instead, and i told her it was wrong, and she said i would have to wait a moment because she was busy.... i mean the place was near empty at 11am)

restraunts - if they do a good job 10%, if they excede, 15%, if the girls really cute 20%... if the are just meh (like my example or just bring the food, not much conversation) $0 to MAYBE a buck

[Orange]

Not much only if i spend say ?18 on a pizza and i give him / her a ?20 note = ?2 t:happy:py: if it's a girl may give more l:rofl:fl:

IMO 15% is the minimum... i'll 20% if everything went smooth/food was good

[Kr0z]

I just tell them to keep the change.

That makes a lot of sense. The fella drives to your door and delivers you food, but you don't tip him, yet when you go into a restaraunt, you may tip the server? That makes no sense.

[Steven]

Nope. I don't get it delivered, cuz its like 5.00 for a large 1 topping pizza if I go around the corner and get it myself! :D

If they bring it to me, it takes an hour to get it and I have to tip because I feel guilty!

pizza delivery stinks. I used to do it as a teen. All it ever did was ruin my car by putting extra miles on it.

My owner was so cheap all he ever gave us was $0.40 per delivery. Sometimes i'd drive to a house that was 15miles away! :pinch:

at my store, about two weeks ago, we had someone call in to order 150 pizzas with about a two hour notice. This was about 1pm right after lunch so it was myself and one delivery driver. they wanted their pizzas by three o'clock, so I told them that I'd try my best to have everything there by three but next time they should give more of a notice when they want an order this large. Both of us broke our asses making that damned order, and we got the driver out the door at about 2:50. They called a few minutes later demanding to know where their order was, I told them that it was only 2:55pm and he would be there before 3pm. They bitched and moaned at me for another minute then got off. about 15 minutes later the driver showed back up at the store ****ed. It was a $1200 order, with a ton of discounts that I gave them and they didn't tip him a dime. Needless to say when they ordered again a few days ago, they didn't get very "clean" pizzas.

[kombolcha]

yes, i always tip to the higher $5

if pizza costs $21.78.. i give him $25

$14.67.. i'll give him $17 if i have singles, otherwise i'll say sorry i don't have any other change, i'll get you next time.. it'd be kinda wrong to hand then an extra $5 and ask for change so you can give them just $3.

if its a hot chick.. $10 tip always!.

[illicit]

Always.  At least $3.

586624868[/snapback]

Yeah, same here. I always tip $3-5.
