Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.

  Yep. He tipped on top of the delivery charge and taxes. I it was 20% tip button that doesn’t isolate food.

  If you can tip a delivery driver $4 with a straight face I feel bad for you. $8 minimum for direct-to-doorstep food, regardless of the cost of the delivery.

    You yanks are crazy with your attitude to pay.

      I didn’t say I like it, I just said that is the right thing to do.

        Only because you live in a country where they don’t pay people properly.

        Right thing to do is raise minumum wage.

    Depends on your area.

    When I was a delivery driver I’d refuse anything less than $20 total, which meant about $18 of tip.

    • UmeU@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      $18 is a bit much, but I have 10 downvotes that say $8 is too much, so who am I to judge.

        It just meant bigger / more expensive food orders.

        Delivering $100 worth of food takes almost exactly the same effort as delivering $10 worth of food, but the difference in tips is huge.

  20% tip is not insane.

    It’s double what’s standard to tip for good service.

    source

    • scottywh@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Nowhere is the standard only 10%.

      It’s been 15% for average service and more for “good” or exemplary as the standard for the half century I’ve been on the planet.

      You Europeans are something else, man.

        Lol because we expect companies to pay people properly rather than expecting customers to top it up.

        Tipping is immoral as it allows companies to underpay. Tipping is anti free market as companies should be competing for staff through their remuneration packages.

        The thing I’ve never understood about tipping culture in general and especially the American culture around it is why some low paid staff get it and some don’t.

        Why do you tip your food delivery driver and not the guy delivering your Amazon package?

        Why do you tip your wait staff, but not your supermarket checkout assistant?
