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.

  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.

        Yes, that is correct.

        Also the drivers use their own personal vehicles so they experience all the extra wear and tear, fuel costs, more frequent tire and oil changes, etc.

        It really is unfair which I why I make sure to tip decently.

      Right thing to do is raise minumum wage.

        When that happens, if they raise it high enough to actually do away with tipping, then that’s great. Until then, hard working poor people need their tips.

  Depends on your area.

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

    $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.
