You know. I've come to the conclusion that there is a conspiracy from some secret organization that wants to make OT as dull as possible by perpetuating these f***ing trend threads.

This can't possiblu be just a random fool who missed last couple of days tip thread and went "Hey! I'm going to make yet another thread about the same subject! ^_^"

I refuse to buy that such hive-mind isn't deliberate.

I never usually tip, but food delivery guys are in my softspot. I round it up to an even number, my bill is usually 5.5 euros, so that makes it six.

Where I live you don't really tip people. I only ever tip someone if I can't be bothered waiting for them to fish out the change so I just tell them to keep it.

Since its not enforced by law to tip then you cant just simply say that he shouldnt order food if he cant tip.

Thats what I said. That you cant tell him that he shouldnt.

Its good as an advice and all, or a word of wisdom as in "its best if..." but your serious emoticon came off very absolute as if its a crime (exaggerating here) to not tip.

Didn't say or mean to say that it was. Just saying people who don't tip delivery people are being extremely rude and cheap. Most of the time they're taking their own cars out, and most of the time their employer won't cover the wear and tear that the car suffers from such a job, and it's not like they make great money from the job itself either. Doesn't have to be much, but absolutely no tip is, in the lightest way I can say this, a jerk move.

So not tipping the delivery guy makes me an indecent person. How very odd...

Correction: disagreeing that no tipping means no ordering food doesnt mean that I (or he) doesnt tip.

And even if we didnt, that doesnt make us indecent. Since tipping isnt official in any way (although I dont expect to come in agreement about that since "official" can be subjective) then I wont hesistate to order if I cant tip.

Make it copulsory and add a specific sum for it and then I will agree with you.

Yes I am all for people to tip since I know that those people dont earn a lot and especially for deliverymen its harder one would say since they can be out in the rain, cold weather or intense heat. (they use motorcycles mostly here)

But at the same time I dont agree with this strong defense of the tipping system as if someone who doesnt tip is automatically a bad person.

$5 tip. But I was generous one time where I gave the delivery guy $10 tip. Reason being was that he was carrying a lot of stuff (not pizza, but sandwiches, drinks, etc) in his bag. Also, my idiot brother asked him if $4 was enough. :? Seriously, you never ask that question. It's rude.

I wouldn't call them a "bad" person entirely for it, but I wouldn't hesitate to call them cheap and/or a jerk. In America at least, since I don't know how it goes in the others, food delivery is one of those jobs where it's on a largely tip based income. It's not right to not tip them.

We don't get our pizza delivered, my dad is cheap. Based on that fact, I'd say he wouldn't tip.

Personally, If the change is less than $5 I tell them to keep it. Other than that, I give them whatever I feel like based on how nice they are :P

It still feels like impulsive "charity", in which case its odd to expect tip every time.

The only reason tip is expected is because "please give me something extra because my boss doesnt pay me enough" sort of thing. To me, that brings the customer in a difficult situation. Like when a third party is asked to resolve a disagreement between two other people. It shouldnt be my concern. I am not saying that I wont tip (I do tip deliverymen always), I just dont get that attitude that makes people call others who dont tip or dont always tip or do tip but dont find it wrong to order when they cant tip, indecent, not normal (I have heard that in OT) etc.

Well, just to let our ever so gallant Dark__Link know, deliveries and such are included in the price here. Since I'll be making a considerable loss during my next internship, and the fact that it isn't even sure if I will be undertaking a placement year due to the economic climate and the sheer number of people applying, I have to look out for every penny. All this just to get employed sometime in the future. If it makes you feel better, Dark__Link, I am pathetic enough to pick up each and every coin I spot on the pavement. I do hope my "garbage attitude" didn't upset you too much.

I normally tip $3 for my $17 order (tax included). The amount before taxes was like $13 to $14. However, I didn't realize it but I only have two 1 dollar bills at the moment. So I'm gonna tip the guy $2 tonight. Is that ok to tip? $2 for my $13-14 dollar order before tax?

BMD004



I typically tip 15% of my order. $2 for a $13-$14 pizza seems about right.

You know. I've come to the conclusion that there is a conspiracy from some secret organization that wants to make OT as dull as possible by perpetuating these f***ing trend threads.

This can't possiblu be just a random fool who missed last couple of days tip thread and went "Hey! I'm going to make yet another thread about the same subject! ^_^"

I refuse to buy that such hive-mind isn't deliberate.

Dystopian-X
My main reasoning for making this thread was to see if tipping $2 was normal. Because that is all I had on me. I usually tip 3 or 4. I wasn't sure if tipping $2 was a normal thing or if it is kind of disrespectful to tip that low.
