I have been a waiter and a pizza delivery driver and am curious about what people think is adequate. Everyone knows about what waiters expect, but some other professions are tougher to determine. I am talking about food delivery, haircutters, bell hops, valet service, etc. As a pizza delivery driver, if I got $1 I was upset, $2 was fine, $3 was good, and beyond that was just icing on the cake. Many folks don't realize that the delivery charge often doesn't go to the delivery person (most people assume that and delivery people hate it). Also we do the same amount of work regardless of the bill and most of the time it is not our fault if the pizza is late. Someone else quotes the delivery time as a guess or a computer estimate that and it is misquoted often times. Though we didn't get paid $2-$3 per hour like waiters, we had to pay upkeep on the vehicle as well as gas. If you perform a service expecting tips and most people don't understand let me konw as well.
