pizza delivery tip ??

Question

if you order a pizza for delivery and the company charges for delivery , do you still tip the driver ??

thisisme,
youre answer is pretty rude to jannette, and somtimes people have enough money for the pizza and the tip,but when you find out that theres a delivery charge it makes it kind of hard , some people are on a limited income.

as far as tiping a wait person at a resturant go's i only tip if i get good service,i have had wait persons who just exspect a tip and give terrible service,i will not tip for bad service and just because they think i owe them,by good service i mean friendly , is the order right , and come back and check on me , i dont want to set there with an empty glass of water all night.(wich i have)and guess what i give a smaller tip.

Answer 1

yes - the delivery charge is given to the store so I do tip the driver. BUT I would also call the store and complain about a delivery charge - they need to hear from consumers that is ridiculous!

Answer 2

Yes.. unless you know the policy of the place you can't assume that the driver gets the delivery charge.. I worked as a driver we had a $1 to $3 delivery fee (depending on area), but we were only given $.75 each delivery.

Being late is not always the drivers fault, so that doesn't normally bother me.. but, if the driver does something to screw up the order.. then I tip less.. but having been a driver I always give at least $4. If I can't afford the tip, I pick my order up..

Answer 3

A tip would be greatly appreciated, as the delivery charge goes to the business to pay for the driver's gas. Often times, food workers who might get tips are paid less than minimum wage as it is assumed that tips will make up the difference. Too, this is the guy who just brought you a yummy dinner so you didn't need to a) cook, b) drive somewhere for fast food, and c) miss any of the game on TV. That deserves a tip.

Answer 4

if they tack on a delivery charge ( which i ask for the price break-down so i don't "screw" the driver ) i tip up to the next 5 dollar increment not to exceed 2 dollars ( 13.23 gets 15 even ).... i know it makes it tough on the driver but at some point it isn't cost effective to have the pizza delivered.... and since i only live 2 miles from the furthest pizza place, i don't find it necessary to even charge me a delivery fee... i know it doesn't cost them near what they charge for the pizza.... so, at the end of the day... the driver should not frustrated with the customer but the company they work for cause they are the ones adding all the extra cost on to a piece of bread with stuff on it....

Answer 5

ALWAYS tip the driver. When you go to a restaurant you tip a waitress who walks your food from the kitchen pick-up window to your table and gets a large tip. The pizza guy uses his car, his gas and has to drive your food from the restaurant to your door. I tip 5.00 MINIMUM. Pizza guys make minimum wage, if that and depend on tips.
EDIT: "JEANETTE", since you live less thaqn 2 miles from the pizza place and feel this entitles you to get away with a buck fifty tip, perhaps you should go pick up your own pizza. people like you make me ill. You have a terrible, selfish attitude.

Answer 6

Usually, unless the delivery person was really late or being a jerk.

Every once in a while, when I was in college, we were digging money out of the couch just to eat, so tips where sometimes not do-able.

Answer 7

Yes, the money doesn't go to the driver, it goes to the store to pay for the computers to dispatch. Tip how you would normally

Answer 8

yes, 15% it went up approx 7 years ago. Server gratituidty

Answer 9

Yep. 10% is usually enough, but you could give more.
