Odie 0 Posted September 9, 2006 Say you order pizza, and the bill comes to 11.60, how much tip do you give? Say the Driver has a 10 min drive. I say give a 20 and ask back for 4 bucks. Which leaves the guy with a 4 dollar tip. What would you guys/gals tip in that type of situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ave tip is (for order under $20.00) $2.00, $3.00 ill remember, But $4+ will have drivers fighting over you every nite. Also, tipping a buck or less, well, now your just insulting me!

Odie 0 Posted September 9, 2006 Thats what I figured... I know, from past experience, being a delivery driver is a pain in the arse. So I try to tip a little higher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad GLuckman 518 Posted September 9, 2006 I never tip less than $5 for a pizza, and if it's a big order, I'll tip accordingly. At restaurants, minimum is usually 20%. I hate tipping cab drivers, I don't know why, I think it's because they charge you $4 just to get in the damn car... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spottedowl 1 Posted September 9, 2006 It depends on what I am buying. I see tip jars in front of Starbucks and Subway cash registers. I am not tipping someone taking my order. In Oregon, the minimum wage is $7 plus an hour. People taking orders? Yes, these people need more money for tattoos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bratwurst 0 Posted September 9, 2006 a $50 with no change Actually did that once. Granted the bill was huge, thanks to the fockface that asked for a Glenlevit when I said I'd buy a round for the table ... I handed the server a $50 bill and said, "keep the change." and I was gonna do that anway ... prolly just like a $20 tip. Well, I also asked for a Glenlevit ... so maybe a $10 tip .. but I made the guy feel like a tool for ordering an expensive drink, when I was being cool and buying a round. Yeah ... by the time I finished it .... ASS KICKIN TIME! "Why did you order the most expensive drink? Dude?" Sipped my whiskey sour. And he said .. "You said any drink I wantored!" Point taken ... but I was trying to tip the waitress ..... not my plan to treat some fockhead douchetard like a king. Was that hard to understand? You gonna suck my cack tonight? I don't tink so! D!ckface! Did not even get a BJ that night ... and I blame the d!ckhead. Girls liked me ... before that arguement. Thought I was gonna be cool, buy all the girls a well drink .... and then some douchfock orders a drink that costs like $12. I shoulda just kicked his arse right there.

Spring 0 Posted September 9, 2006 I usually tip: 10% for service people, like pizza delivery drivers, cabbies, etc. 20% for waitstaff and bartenders 20% for hairstylists, masseuse, etc. 50% or more to anyone that goes above and beyond what is required.

jerryskids 5,210 Posted September 9, 2006 Prolly about $14 in your scenario. As a rule: 20% rounded up for delivery 15% rounded up or down for waiters based on service 20% rounded up or down for hair or massage based on service (no not that kind) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuckStupid 40 Posted September 9, 2006 I'd of thrown out $15 in that case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frank 2,147 Posted September 9, 2006 Yeah. $15 is plenty. That's $3.40 tip. $2.32 would be 20%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Super Cubs 132 Posted September 9, 2006 I'm a good tipper but it depends on the servise. The pizza deliverly person gets two or three bucks. At a fine dinning establishment I want good service. If the service sucks so does the tip. Somethings are out fore the waiters/waittresses control. But as long as they check on me and make sure my glass is full everything is cool.

gocolts 300 Posted September 9, 2006 If you order pizza delivered, you have to give at least 3 bucks and the change on anything under 20 bucks. Over 20 should be at least 5 bucks, depending on how much over 20 you go. Say you order pizza, and the bill comes to 11.60, how much tip do you give? Say the Driver has a 10 min drive. I say give a 20 and ask back for 4 bucks. Which leaves the guy with a 4 dollar tip. What would you guys/gals tip in that type of situation.

Over 20 should be at least 5 bucks, depending on how much over 20 you go. Good person alert So you're telling me that on top of the close to $10 an hour pizza delivery drivers get, they should get a $3-$5 tip 6 to 8 times an hour. That's close to $40 an hour. I'm not sure if I HAVE to give $3 on anything under $20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devin952 1 Posted September 9, 2006 So you're telling me that on top of the close to $10 an hour pizza delivery drivers get, they should get a $3-$5 tip 6 to 8 times an hour. That's close to $40 an hour. I'm not sure if I HAVE to give $3 on anything under $20. Not quite, see 6-8 deliverys an hour very rarely happens, and not everybody tips that well. I work in a good part of town w/ the exception of a few crappy hotels, and I ave about $15-$17 an hour, but keep in mind I use my own car and pay for whatever breaks on it as well. Also, my work is in the top ten as far as dangerous jobs go.(see quote below) One top-10 surprise was the fifth place finisher -- driver-sales workers, which, according to a BLS spokesperson, includes pizza delivers, vending machine fillers, and the like. Again, these workers are often self employed. Traffic accidents contributed heavily to their high fatality rate of 38 per 100,000, but they also suffered from crime; nearly a quarter of their deaths came from robberies and assaults. Most people dont think about the fact that getting your food there in the quoted time often involes not getting killed or muged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rallo 132 Posted September 9, 2006 I work at applebee's, and standard tipping for anyone who gives your service (waiter, delivery guy, barber) is 15% basically all these workers make less than minimum wage per hour. For instance i make 3.09 an hour without tips. Think about that next time you think of stiffing some server or person who that is their real job. As a rule i tip the 15% and round up to the next dollar. so if it is 19.50 i'd tip 23 dollars. Unless it is great service then i follow the same procedure but i tip 20%.

Recidivist 1 Posted September 9, 2006 If I order pizza, I go pick it up. I always tip when picking up take-out (be it pizza, thai food, chick wings etc.), usually 20%. My wife thinks this is assinine, but hey, everyone needs to earn a living. If someone in the service industry (i.e., their income is dependent upon tips) does a good job, they deserve to get paid for it. People remember how you treated them vis a vis tipping. At my frequent take-out places it's almost embarassing the attention they show me because I am obviously known as the guy who tips well. Dining out, unless you completely focked up the order or were rude or unattentive, I'm tipping anywhere from 20-33%. When the check is $400, what's an extra $20 or $30 bucks when figuring the tip? And yes, you should tip on the total bill (e.g., don't exclude the $120 bottle of wine you ordered) when calculating the tip. I guess I subscribe to the golden rule when it comes to tipping and tip what I would want to be tipped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, you're in Grand Rapids, MI. If you were in a more urban environment, you'd be making a lot more. Tipping a pizza delivery guy $3 for a $12 order in my neck of the woods puts him above U.S. median household income. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tipping a pizza delivery guy $3 for a $12 order in my neck of the woods puts him above U.S. median household income. I do see your point, But I think it evens out in the end. Less tips and more runs v less runs and more tips. If I order pizza, I go pick it up. I always tip when picking up take-out (be it pizza, thai food, chick wings etc.), usually 20%.
