How much do you tip on delivery orders?

Question

Piggy-backing off of the question about tipping on to-go orders, how much do you tip when you order food for delivery?

Answer

On to go orders I always tip 5-7 dollars. Most of the time those people dealing with to go orders only make very minimum. So they rely on those tips. When we are eating in somewhere I always tip 10-20 dollars. Most places the server has to share there tips with the bar. I’m not trying to be rude when I say this but if you can’t afford to tip well then you probably shouldn’t be eating out. I’m not rich or made of money by no means but I always make sure that I can tip well and if I can’t well then drive through it is. I just know personally the crap that servers and the people handling to go orders go through.

Answer

Depends on the service. I've waited for over 30 minutes to just be greeted by my waitress on a non busy day. Another occasion same place, I waited that long for drinks meanwhile the people that came in behind us were being serviced. They were a family of 5. It was just me and my husband. She made it incredibly obvious she cared more about them. To me that is rude so she didn't get tipped well.
On the other hand we've had wonderful experiences by people who were very friendly and helpful. They received a ridiculously nice tip. We've also tipped really well for a lady who was about 8-9 months pregnant just to be nice because she was working super hard serving all her tables and we saw.

Who are the cheap a holes who don’t tip?! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Answer

Usually I only order for myself, so $10-$15 worth of food. I never tip any less than $5. I used to work at a pizza place. I know how shitty delivery drivers are paid. 
Side note, is it common for your delivery drivers to ask for tips? I’d never seen a driver do that until the last time I ordered pizza. I was obviously going to tip him anyway, but as he was handing me my receipt, he pointed to the tip line and said “and if you could leave me a nice tip that’d be great, that’s how I make my money.” I didn’t see anything wrong with it, but the friend I was with told me I shouldn’t have tipped him well because it was “rude” somehow.

Answer

Depends on where I order from (distance wise), how the food gets to me (warm vs cold, presentable vs overturned) ... if the driver asks for a tip they get none at all.

Answer

Depends on the amount of food. If I'm ordering for just me I tip 15% if it's at least 2 dishes I tip 20%. There are times when I will tip nothing. Just depends.
