Reply to comment by [deleted] in [LPT] if you're too broke to tip you're too broke for delivery. You never know what number stiff you will be for that driver... I am on my 10th stiff out of 11 deliveries today. All future stiffs for the day will have their food sitting in front of my AC the whole drive. by productoffallout

You are not the norm, but the exception. Cash is increasingly rare. People often frame scenarios around their own life and expectations, leading to subjective evaluations and logical misgivings.

I had a pizza delivered and the driver knocked and was getting in his car when I chased him down for a tip. I felt a bit ridiculous, was I dumb for tipping on top of delivery fee?

I only get pizza delivered because food delivery is confusing and complicated.

Maybe a smaller tip when there is a delivery fee, IDK. The delivery fee was just under 5 dollars. I tipped $4 for a $15 dollar pizza. It was fast, convenient, and very good.

The last time I picked up a pizza I was told how their work had doubled but not their pay. SMH

The driver doesn’t get the delivery fee, at all. None of it. They just use it to further subsidize paying drivers the lower than minimum wage base pay they give them. Meaning it benefits the company, not the guy who is destroying his car bringing pizza to your door in any weather.

Lol, I've gone outside in PJs after a Driver who I'd forgotten to tip bc we had such a great conversation that he was gonna be late. Not a pizza order, obviously, they cant chat. I never forget them. More like grocery delivery Drivers. But forced tips on apps. Nope. I tip well for good service even if it's gotta be done thru the app. Uber drivers are a whole other issue.

I'm a cash tipper. No app is going g to tell me how to spend my money. I tip well when I can, almost always a healthy, tya, cash tip. Unless the Driver refuses to follow simple instructions, like don't leave food on the deck bc the rats, or other humans will get to it first, ants get into everything, inclement weather destroys paper/cardboard. Most drivers are fantastic and kind, I keep special money set aside, ready for those people. I also gift the mail carrier and the extra special UPS drivers. But AH with attitude who ruin stuff, no.
