I wonder what tip he got. Probably only 10 %. Stingy OP.

Tipping percentage for delivery is silly. The value of the food doesn't change the driver's job. Tip based on the distance between you and the place you're ordering from. $2 base with and additional $1 per mile is a good starting point, but most delivery drivers are not earning if they're not delivering, so if you live a ways away from central restaurant locations you should dial it up to compensate for their drive back.

Or just call that a delivery fee. I am so done with tipping, why can't it just be a fee?!

Delivery drivers work to get food to their customer, they should charge a fee for their work; not betting most of their income on the customer's gratitude, which is expressed as a tip.

As a pizza boy, I would love to just see a solid $5/order. Currently, it seems the closer they are to the store, the higher the tip. I drove like 10 minutes out and got $1.80. Which is not my worst tip, but I'm just saying the further out, the lower the average.

Its not justo the value of the food. The value of the food is the value that the customer is willing to pay for food, which corresponds with the tip amount they can part with. However everything you've recommended is very thoughtful in its own right.

I try to do it based on how difficult it is to carry. A few simple things in a single bag is not much. Spread across a few bags and drinks, that's more.

To improve prompt service, not to stop bitches from stealing your food when you're too depressed to cook. Furthermore, 10% can do way too much or way too little depending on what the fuck was ordered. I manually enter tips. Clearly you've never ordered a full meal for 6 people from one of these services. Tips should be based on distance and time for the order. I just think it's highly ridiculous to pay the delivery driver who did 20 minutes of work more than the cook makes in an hour.

Tipping culture is BS anyways. Pay the fucking employees what they're worth!!
