Do you tip pizza/chinese/Indian delivery drivers?

[Makunouchi]

Why would you tip someone for doing their job? Ive never understood tipping, if they go above and beyond what their job requires in terms of service or whatever then maybe, but im not doing it out of hand.

 

[Freefaller]

Always, if theres not much left to a rounded note, I add a bit more;

example;
If a couple of pizzas come to £19.80 I'll give £21 or something.

So usually about £1 or so on top of the charge.

How utterly daft.

 

[Mr.Orb]

Why tip someone for a job I'm capable of doing myself?

We're getting dangerously close to the script of Resivoir Dogs, lets not break copywirte law

I never tip taxi drivers, ever since one charged me and some mates £20 to go less than a quarter of a mile.

I sometimes let private taxi drivers keep a rounded amount e.g. the journey cost £2.80 I let them take £3.00 only if they pick up a mate or stop at a cash point. Otherwise I don't. I never tip black cab drivers as the fees are ridiculous now. It's almost doubled in 7 years :/

ok guys, here is a tip if you excuse the pun.

In resturants, tip BEFORE your meal, if im going to a decent place, where the bill will go to more than 100. Slip your waiter 10 or 20 quid as your being shown you seat this will

a) ensure you get fantastic service all night

b) you get to do that cool folded note in the palm of the hand thing.

I do this and it has not let me down yet,

You've got a point, but then again, perhaps they may have less incentive to work hard, although they would have to pretty nasty to do that!

How utterly daft.

But why? It makes no difference to me.

 

[da_mic_1530]

nah don't tip, but if there's only 10p change to get back from them I'll just tell them to keep it

 

[Freefaller]

But why? It makes no difference to me.

Of course it doesn't, how it doesn't stop making it daft.

Why should I tip them? My take away charges a £1 for delivery and I ordered £38.60 and still no free delivery.

I gave the driver £39.00 and waited about minutes 2 at the door, while he was rummaging for the 40p change. He did have a bit of a hacked off look on his face when he walked off.

 

[mangobreeder]

Or how about, no?

no to what?

 

[pitchfork]

^ so the next time you order from them... the do stuff to your food before delivering

Yeah but once it took 1 1/2 hours for a pizza to come, I thought i'd be nice and take the stone cold pizzas, driver wouldn't even give me discount, free dips, nothing. I have every right to be rude.

Of course it doesn't, how it doesn't stop making it daft.

He earned his money, if he wants to "be daft" with it then so what.

Good on him!

I'm just a tight **** - it happens when living in London!

I once got lost in London and got ripped off to the extreme by a taxi driver, so I don't blame you.

 

[DannyDan]

No, i dont tip peasants

 

[Dark_Injection]

Mmmm it depends.

Sometimes i tip the indian cos it is seriously amazing. I really love their food. But no i wouldnt tip anyone else i dont think.

 

[Arjun806]

No, i dont tip peasants

Lol


I don't tip, usually pay exact but all they're doing is delivering, unlike in a restaurant where you would get proper service. However if I was only owed a pound or two I'd probably let them keep the change.

I find I don't tip takeaway deliveries so much these days, because if I order something like Dominos/Papa Johns etc... I pay for it online, thus I don't have any need to have any cash exchange hands.
