This, i have a no tipping policy in the UK
I remember a guy on here claiming he tipped everyone - probably something like 10% - including the postman if he eg. delivered a watch.
There's an old saying about a fool and his money i'm sure!
Single mum needs to get her priorities in order, clearly.
You're stereotyping that all are on the dole. Some do actually work.
Maybe spending money on top price take away isn't the best use of money if living in a 1 bed council flat with a child.
Anyway let's not derail this hey?

He’s talking about delivering on a motorbike, not a bicycle. Given he also gave his experience about riding around in -14C temperatures during periods of inclement weather I’ll wager that your burger flipping antics were decidedly leisurely by comparison

Probably didn’t get tipped because the pizzas were cold.He’s talking about delivering on a motorbike, not a bicycle.

And so have I.
I once delivered to a high street butcher somewhere below Dereham and as as I pulled up I thought "This'll be handball" - Whatever... So the bloke came out with a barrow and I handballed it on to it.
The Guy then handed me £5 and said "You're the first driver hat hasn't whinged about handballing it"
I told him to keep it as it wasn't that hard but he insisted and then made me a brew !!
Sometimes people DO appreciate what you do.
The only reason I go to the restaurant is the food, that's what they provide. The waiters just have to bring the food out. Thatis whatI consider average service. If they do anything above that, i.e. Above their standard job descriptions, I will tip.

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.
Actually, this is a prime example:
Why would it matter if they had a better car than you? Bizarre.
It's always about the pecking order of the car you drive. People think they are better than you because they drive a Audi while you drive a Corsa for example.
Is it a self imposed guilt trip when faced with someone doing low grade work as you display an excess of cash?
Must be. Plenty of people doing low paid, low skilled work to benefit you but are not considered eligible for this gifting.
It's harmless. Unless demanded, in which case it's obnoxious.

They're on minimum wage, just like a lot of other people. People who work in jobs that don't afford them the opportunity to get a tip. What is it that makes some monkey delivering a pizza or carrying a plate to a table more deserving of a tip than, for example, an assistant in a clothes store or the guy who picks your order when you order something online?
