Delivery Driver vs. Waiter - Who do you tip more?

[Captain Hindsight]

Just curious what y'all did...

Who do you tip more and why?

 

[MD Buckeye]

Waiter. The Delivery driver is usually already getting a "delivery charge". I usually only tip them $1 or $2.

You definitely have to help the delivery guy out.

They use their own gas, put wear on their own cars, and have to deal with traffic and possible accidents.

Not really. Most of the time the drivers never see that money, and regardless, its the customer's responsibility to tip accordingly (15% or more).

Don't be the one to get by thinking someone else will take care of it...

...and often don't realize their car insurance is going to drop them or charge them double as soon as they find out they're in the delivery business, and possibly not cover delivery-related accidents in the meantime. After working for a car insurance company, I would never recommend anyone take a job delivering anything without a company car.

Back on topic - I don't usually get delivery, but it never hurts to tip a little extra and make someone happy.

So which one of you boys delivers pizzas after school?

Don't lie.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Having delivered pizzas all through college, gotta say tip the server more.

Tip the waiter more. I just deliver pies, so I can stalk this chick named Mary, man.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

i tip the pizza delivery guy only if he undercuts the competition.

Question: how many delivery drivers are only getting $5.41/hour from their employer?

 

[Spazztic1]

I always tip the waiter at least 20% unless the service is just horrid.

 

[iambrutus]

waiter - they give more service than just brining the food to you

Ahh... yes... the happy ending.... dessert.

Probably all of them, why?

I always tip my food delivery people. I do a flat 10-15%.

I tip my server the same, but they can get more (or less) depending on the quality of service. I have tipped as much as 30% to a server that impressed the hell out of me. I have also tipped as little as nothing to a server that was the worst I had ever seen and then tipped HERSELF on my credit card (which got her fired.)
