I’ve been tipping pizza type deliveries 20% since Covid, but it seems high to me. What’s everyone tip their delivery guys? I don’t want to short them, but I don’t want to go broke either.
I’ve started giving 1 star review for anyplace that asks for tip for preorder before I’ve even received anything or for drive thru. Please join me… They use shame and guilt as a weapon. We can also.
Huh, tipping…
Percentage of the bill is irrelevant. The key issues are mileage and time. 50% of your $10 McDonalds order delivered 5 miles away is garbage. 5% of your $100 pizza order a half-mile down the road is good.
More important than the tip is to turn on your damn lights, and make sure your address is
I managed pizza places for way too long. Pre-pandemic my gold standard was:
$5 or 10%–whichever is more. Always cash.
But, I don’t work in that industry anymore and I don’t order delivery anymore.
Either way, it’s not table service (where I tip 20%), so a straight percentage doesn’t make sense, but also that percentage can be lower IMO. Also, the delivery aps and some chains really fuck with drivers tips, so I always tip cash.
You give tips to delivery drivers?
Yeah I order from Instacart from a Costco like 30 minutes away, so I always feel bad and tip well.
Don’t you think it’s the responsibility of the employer to pay well not the customer. Constant tipping could create an unhealthy expectation from both the employer and the employee. It can amount to slacking of salaries, services provided and any general interactions, if the tips are deemed not good enough
Yes, the system is the problem. But it doesn’t make sense to fuck over the delivery driver to make a point. The tipping system in America is bullshit, but if you wanna support them, you tip them now and then vote in better workers rights later
