ceminess Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 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. 586292891[/snapback] 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 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 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.

EnjoyHIC Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 A dollar a pizza is a fair rate... that is what I tip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilfruit Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viserov Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 I never saw a lady doing delivery. I give 2$ each time what ever they bring me. 586293264[/snapback] 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.

DomZ Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Don't really tip to be honest, unless I'm out somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munashii Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viserov Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 (edited) I believe the tip is included in the price, but I'm not sure. 586293668[/snapback] Well, at least you know that the tip goes straight to the delivery person by handing him extra cash.

crazihouse Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Same goes for servers in dine-in restaurants. It is better to give than to receive. ;) 586292723[/snapback] 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 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I always tip everyone that delivers something to me. I usually throw them $2-3 on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galoosh33 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 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 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 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.

ZiGGA Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SOOPRcow MVC Posted July 29, 2005 MVC Share Posted July 29, 2005 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 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 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. 586292739[/snapback] Holy crud. Wouldn't that be almost as much as a normal order? Unless you're ordering for like an entire hotel or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
