When the hell did tipping for food delivery turn into this?
I just placed an order for the local Tai joint to bring some fried rice about a mile to our place.
$5 or 20%?? REALLY? You're not refilling my drinks and taking away dishes etc etc...
THIS IS ROBBERY!!!

- You can't justify that!pango
- tipping is a strange custom to the English...aren't we all underpaid as it is?mugwart
- tipping has creeped into melbourne and is becoming the norm... such a joke. have got into a few heated arguments about it.inteliboy
- I love how they transfer the responsibility of paying a living wage as if there's nothing they can do about it expect make the consumer feel guilty.Gnash

- The wife and I were just laughing at 'the balls' it takes to put a tip mug out if you work at Starbucks... do you see the folks sweating over the fryer...PonyBoy
- ... at McDonald's dropping a fucking child-size water cup w/the word tips at the register? Strange how some places see fit to do so.PonyBoy
- yeah fuck that. here is a tip for you, don't work in the fucking food service industry if you live in the USautoflavour
- Because everyone can idly pick and choose what glamourous job they have to do to pay the bills and feed their kids. Jesus fucking Christ.face_melter
- face... it's not your job as the consumer to pay the wages of someone else's employee... is it? And fuck off w/that 'feed their kids' emotional BS, ffs.PonyBoy
- Just cuz someone's trying to feed their kid doesn't mean I have to overtip / overpay more than I should... Jesus fucking Christ.PonyBoy

- Having grown up in the industry I have no issues tipping, and invariably over-tip because of that history ($5 is my minimum for delivery guys)...Gnash
- ... But this pleading by the company for the consumer to pay the wage is a bit much....Gnash
- .... something stinks If your business model relies on the consumer to be guilted in to paying your employees wages.Gnash
- fuck, i tip on takeout ordersGnash
- i tip at starbucks if the person is pleasant... I tipped $5 out of some odd fear of the delivery man... and I usually tip about 20-22% when we eat out.PonyBoy
- Pin a rose on my nose, mother fuckers!!PonyBoy
- i look at it this way, if i can afford to dine out, i can afford to tip. though the system does suck,GuyFawkes
- btw... didn't mean to start a battle over tipping... just thought it was odd that DELIVERY was pushing for a $5 minimum... especially w/that $3.99 delivery feePonyBoy
- nahhh US is pretty much the only country that tips... Canada tips as well.... cuz we share the same border....pango
- i do tip cuz i dont want to appear as a jerk... i much prefer staffs getting a better wage than surviving off tip and the restaurant owner gets to avoid tax.pango
- "you're only saying that cuz you never worked at a restaurant" oh i had plenty of bar and restaurant jobs before.pango
- Wait, you pay a delivery fee and are then expected to tip? That's flat out wrong. A tip in that context is for see ice above and beyond, or discretiondetritus
- I've always just hoyed drivers a quid or so, but thinking about it now, I've done as much since the nineties, not accounting for inflation.detritus
- When I was younger, we used to tip the delivery guy weed.section_014
- I'll tip for good service, but it is annoying overall. That one guy that put that jar out, years ago, changed the world!formed
- Yeah fuck this. And fuck your children too. Or their children. Whoever's children we're talking about... the word is overpopulated.cannonball1978
- "Wait, you pay a delivery fee and are then expected to tip? That's flat out wrong."
Yep... and the delivery fees keep going up.PonyBoy - No delivery fee. I tip 5. If it gets here lighting fast or regular spots I add. I'm in brooklyn.BH26
