Do you apply that same logic for dining in a restaurant? I think driving to deliver food is more work and comes with less guaranteed income.

No. A waiter has to memorize, converse (in the local dialect), clarify, analyze, repeat to the cooks, collect, distribute, refill etc. It’s much, MUCH more mentally and physically demanding than finding products on a list and driving them to a location.

Personally I don’t think tip culture is ever appropriate, but waiters IMO deserve more tips than drivers.
