What’s the average tip for a delivery driver in the US? (self.asklemmy)

I’ve been tipping pizza type deliveries 20% since Covid, but it seems high to me. What’s everyone tip their delivery guys? I don’t want to short them, but I don’t want to go broke either.

Percentage of the bill is irrelevant. The key issues are mileage and time. 50% of your $10 McDonalds order delivered 5 miles away is garbage. 5% of your $100 pizza order a half-mile down the road is good.

More important than the tip is to turn on your damn lights, and make sure your address is clearly visible.
