Domino's Delivery

I order via the app but still think the driver should get a tip. It's probably one of those rare occasions where you know the tip will go to the person you give it to.

Just wondering if £2 is a bit stingy. :D

Oh yea, because giving the guy who knocks on the door and says 'pizza' a quid is the height of class. Do you tip the postman too?

Of course I don't tip the postman what an absurd thing to say. Cash doesn't exchange hands with them and they generally provide the service when I'm not even in.

I tip the window cleaner, he charges £8 and I generally pay with a £10 note and tell him to keep the change. I always tip in restaurants, usually 10% but if the service has been really good I'll tip more and if it's been really bad I won't tip (rare).

The people who work delivering for places like Dominos or the local takeaway are generally low paid whether they be young, students or just unskilled workers. A £2 tip is small change to most of us, but to them all those £2's over the week can be a big deal.

I don't grudge it. Why do people grudge it so much? Our society can be very compassionate, but also very selfish. :confused:

Actually, this is a prime example:

Plus they all seem to have newer cars than I do, so they can't be doing that bad.

Why would it matter if they had a better car than you? Bizarre.

I don't get tipped for doing my job so why would I tip others to do theirs?

This is typical of our culture, we are loathe to think that someone should progress financially in a way that we don't.

Your question could quite easily have been:

It's great that people get tipped for providing a good service, why can't my clients reward me for a good service?

But no, because you don't receive such a nice gesture, then no one should.
