how much do you tip the pizza delivery person?

[rnch]

on the unusual, rare occassions that you go off your strict diet, and order a pizza delivered "hot and fresh to your door", how much do you tip the delivery person?

 

[AAP]

My tip is "buy low sell high."

Sometimes my tip is a random slice of the pizza delivered. That way, I can judge by his expression whether or not he spit in it on the way there.

1$ is enough for me.

When I was 12, I ordered a pizza and had it delivered 3 blocks down from the place, and when the guy got there I gave him a 20 dollar bill and told him to keep the change. He just kinda looked blankly at me and was like "...you sure?"


I think I made his day
But my dad on the other hand wasn't so happy (since it was his money)

We never order pizza in.

I usually give $1, though I really shouldn't because the pizza place charges me an extra $1 when I choose delivery as opposed to carryout.

Assholes.

Usually 2 Dollars.

if the order is over 20$ i will give the kid 30 and tell him to keep the change

i used to deliver pizzas and also chinese food. we were happy whenever we got anything between two and three dollars for a tip so i've always tipped in that range. people who tip like shit have typically never worked in the service industry where their income is based off tips.

Most pizza drivers make food server minimum wage ... $2.13/hr. They work for tips and do it in their own car. They saved you the trip ... use this guide:

The common courtesy is 15% for normal service

If 15% is less than $2, please follow the $2 minimum. Remember, it should be a $2 minimum to have someone come to your house.

20% or more if the service is excellent.

10% or less for poor service. Nothing for very bad service.

If the order is $50 or more, at least 10%.

It's considerate to tip slightly more during bad weather

In rain, snow, extreme cold, or extreme heat, at least $1 more. It's thoughtful. The service is greater.

It's also considerate to tip slightly more for long distance

If your location is more than three miles from the store, it's considerate to tip $1 more.

If more than five miles, increase by another $1.

Remember that a five-mile drive in a residential area can take 30 minutes for the ten-mile round-trip.
