Do you tip a delivery driver based on a percent of the total purchase or do you always pay the delivery drive based on a set amount. Does it also fluctuate if there is a delivery fee?

 

[Kyoufu]

I don't tip delivery drivers. Companies here tend to charge extra for delivery.

 

[dc89]

I usually tip sweet fa.
If the order is like 9 and I'm paying with a 10 note I'll let the driver keep the change.

This. The only local chippy we like charges nearly a tenner to deliver when the distance is 2 and a half miles.

None of that actually goes to the driver if you're in the US.

I tip 20-30% if its over like 10-15, if its around 10-15 ill just throw them a fiver.

Tipping well has never led me astray.

The delivery fee rarely if ever goes to the driver in the US, as sersteven mentioned. Y'all been screwing over delivery drivers.

I usually tip $5 on most orders ($10-$30 orders) unless it's something above that price range, then I'll jump to a 20% tip type of deal as I would in-store.

I'm in the UK. We don't screw employees here.

 

[snap0212]

I always tip 2€, sometimes three, when I order food.

Tipping is not huge here so I pay that price to be known as the guy where the delivery guy gets something extra and I always have my food 15-20 minutes after ordering!

Great bait mate.

Yeah the fee is there for the company to cover the low salary a driver gets. The tip is part of not being a dick to the guy who's bringing you something when you're lazy. I've recently switched from a percentage to a $5 flat rate.

 

[Ikuu]

£0, they usually charge a delivery fee anyway.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Are we supposed to tip FedEx/UPS drivers? I tip the pizza dudes 5-10 dollars.

This or I'll round up to a quid, it's easier. Had a friend who worked for Domino's, she once told me she didn't expect a tip (just customers to turn up clothed to the door....)

 

[His Majesty]

I tip a fixed percentage, 0%.

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

I don't tip

 

[cheststrongwell]

I usually tip around 20%.

 

[The Faceless Master]

i simply stopped ordering delivery.

delivery fees not going to drivers was the last straw.

upcharge that just lines the company pockets? nah, i'll just pick up.

 

[Widdle Puppy]

I'm confused because it's different depending on the city. Some cities the drivers act like they don't expect to be tipped or care, others it seems custom. The place I order from now charges for delivery and the drivers don't expect a tip so I'm assuming it goes to them?

 

[v1lla21]

20% but I never tip lower than 4 bucks.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I try to tip between 4 to 5 dollars depending if it's not too far off from 20%

 

[iavi]

5 dollars

 

[Ponn]

Usually a set amount. Used to be basically $5 but when the delivery charges started popping up everywhere I dropped to $3 -4. Chinese place still gets $5 because they don't charge a fee.

 

[smokeymicpot]

5 dollars. If it is a huge order or a catering ill do more.

 

[Vixdean]

A generally tip a dollar per item, regardless of price. 2 pizzas = $2.

 

[Mahonay]

3 to 4 bucks usually. More if it's a large order. Driving/biking anywhere in NYC in any of the boroughs is usually a nightmare. I always make sure to tip a few bucks even on small orders.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Tipping is so weird.

 

[Matticers]

Pretty much every place that has a delivery fee states that none of it goes to the delivery person. Which sucks but it's a shitty reason not to tip someone. I don't go crazy with it though, I'll tip a set 3 to 5 dollars if I order something.

 

[yanipheonu]

Debit machines at restaurants where I am often have a 13, 15 and 17% tip option, so I usually follow that.

15 on average.
13 if below average.
17+ if service was great.
Below 13 or even No Tip if service was dismal.

Edit: derped on delivery lol. But I still usually just follow something close to this, though with delivery it just tends to be whatever change I can muster.

 

[metsallica]

Generally I double the tax (NYC) and add a few dollars to get to 20-25%. Be excellent to each other.

 

[Ban Puncher]

 

[mugurumakensei]

The greater of 20% or $5.

 

[Bandini]

$6

I never order more than $40 of delivery.

 

[EdwardTeach]

I dont normally tip. Typically I will have paid by card online/over the phone (UKGAF).

 

[michaelius]

Around 10%

 

[120v]

$5 flat rate

i'm considerate about delivering at a reasonable time, i make sure the delivery guy doesn't have some wild trek to get here. should be more than enough

 

[Diprosalic]

the difference to the next value that can be divided by 5.

if it costs 18 i give 2.
if it costs 19.95 i give 0.05

 

[Tagyhag]

$3-$5 depending on how far they are.

 

[cromofo]

I don't tip

 

[GHG]

Whatever I feel like at the time.

Never heard of Deliveroo or Hermes?

Have a wee read about their business practices and then walk that statement back.

 

[painey]

I don't ever get delivered food because of the delivery fees, let alone a tip. That's wasted money.

 

[minor effort]

I so rarely get delivery, but I guess roughly 20% if I do.

If I’m going to eat at home I’d rather just do the cooking myself.

 

[Peccavi]

Pretty sure I used to do a percentage, but I only do pickup nowadays.

 

[inner-G]

Percentage

If you tip $5 on a $100 order you're an ass

 

[BeforeU]

%

 

[Ashes]

I don't tip.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

There's a delivery fee so no.

 

[Corran Horn]

Maybe if they were doing something extra for you like taking a heavy item indoors for you. I tipped the guy who delivered a big TV for me and made sure it wasn't damaged.

Besides that I tip pizza or prime now like 3-5 dollars. Don't get much else delivered.

Hermes? Are we meant to tip for parcel delivery now?

Whats the difference between a $100 order and a $30 one to a delivery driver?
