Do you tip your delivery driver?

[IceTrayDaGang]

in the past, i wouldnt tip... but now im starting too only if the service is good.. nowadays if you dont tip, the driver acts all biiatchy about it. aint a thang throwing a few dollars at'em.

When you order directly from restaurants or use app like Doordash, postmates, Uber eats, or Grubhub do you tip your driver?


I thought it was pretty common etiquette to tip drivers since they use their car, gas, and save you time. But I talk to this guy I hoop with who does delivery as part time since his hours got cut and he said a lot of people are non tippers.

Big businesses became very smart and found another way to screw the common man. You pay such a low wage that people depend on the kindness of others to earn a wage. When you do not tip the driver, he is not making money. I am a generous tipper and have decided not to use these delivery services, they are a ripoff.

Used to be that some restaurants provided delivery. Your extra charge was to tip the driver, no big deal. These services gouge you, and you pay a premium that is not worth it.

My point is: If I feel I cannot afford a restaurant, or don't want to pay a premium because some middle man found a way to pick my pocket, I just stay away from these services/places. I won't go to a restaurant and skimp... There is no shame in this. Food has become very expensive. I don't eat out anymore much.

Always and I tip cash if I have it, I don't add it to the bill. It's a much more efficient way to get that delivery person some tax free money.

Great point. This is absolutely true.

I always tip, even when they really don't deserve it sometimes.

I never have food delivered....... I usually just collect it and pay normal price.

In restaurants I usually tip 10%...... if it's ?0 then I'l chuck ? on top.

Lol I tip the same percentages and my friend try to get me to tip 20% at restaurant but my reasoning is I only order 1 meal and don’t bother the waiter for anything else


When I’m eating and drinking at the bar I do tip 20% because the bartender got to be attentive when I need more beer

I often tip 20% to servers and food delivery guys.. i do cringe at doordash when i have food delivered to my house cuz i pay delivery fee, "maintenance" fee and 20% tip for the delivery guy..

I dont go cheap at delivery guys or servers.. these people make very little.. well compare to what i make at least..

As you should, you make 6 figs

Yup my buddy said the worst are grocery pick up. I think he does doordash. Anyway he gets paid 5 bucks by doordash to drive, deliver, and carry 9 grocery bags up 3 stories apartment building only for the customer to leave a big fat zero tip.

I just can’t understand these people that order delivery for convenience and service but got no common sense to tip lol

That's the danger....... when I'm drunk I tend to throw money at people..... I gave a waiter ?00 once and he broke down in tears lol

In general though I stick to the 10%, a couple pounds here&there.

Imagine ordering stuff at the top of a high-riser or a 20-story building....... then not tipping!?

Those people are scum, honestly.

It could be a lack of empathy. it is sad for sure.
