How much do you usually tip?

What if there’s already a delivery charge included in the price?
 
If there is a delivery charge already on there I don’t tip, and I used to deliver pizzas. I could go into a rant about it although I won’t. Oh, exception, I will tip an extra $1.00 if they get it there really fast and still HOT!!!
 
$4 is my standard tip for pizza. The delivery charge is usually 1.50-2, but from what I remember of my hub delivering pizza, he’d only get 50 cents of that.🤷 To me the convenience factor is worth paying a few extra $ on the rare occasion that I order pizza.

Three bucks, usually.

I avoid this by only ordering from pizza parlours where I’m within the free delivery area. I’m not sure what I’d do if I were out in the country, but I’d probably still add an extra buck or two, anyway, for the time and trouble.
 
OK, without me going into my entire rant about employers collecting tips and not distributing the whole thing to employees or splitting it between employees with different wages based on their position. This part of the US dept of Labor sums up, I took out some experts (actually I found it on a site that I have been to before about this)

I don’t want to change the OP’s topic, although I am not a fan of employers that collect tips and them don’t give all of it to the server that did the service.

Retention of Tips: The law forbids any arrangement between the employer and the tipped employee whereby any part of the tip received becomes the property of the employer. A tip is the sole property of the tipped employee. Where an employer does not strictly observe the tip credit provisions of the Act, no tip credit may be claimed and the employees are entitled to receive the full cash minimum wage, in addition to retaining tips they may\should have received.

Tip Pooling: The requirement that an employee must retain all tips does not preclude tip splitting or pooling arrangements among employees who customarily and regularly receive tips, such as waiters, waitresses, bellhops, counter personnel (who serve customers), busboys/girls and service bartenders. Tipped employees may not be required to share their tips with employees who have not customarily and regularly participated in tip pooling arrangements, such as dishwashers, cooks, chefs, and janitors. Only those tips that are in excess of tips used for the tip credit may be taken for a pool. Tipped employees cannot be required to contribute a greater percentage of their tips than is customary and reasonable.

Okay, now I’m hungry. I think I’ll stop and get it on the way home though. 😃
 
I usually tip like 2 or 3 dollars but if it is a big order, I’ll tip 5 dollars…

I didn’t know that they did that with pizza delivery. That’s just not right, imo.
 
Back in my day, we all kept our own tips. What’s up with this “pooling of tips” thing? And I have definitely never heard of employers getting a share of the tips. Hello? The whole reason for the tip is that the employer is paying minimum wage. 🤷
 
I tip between $3-5 --I usually tip more rather than less. They make ****** wages in a thankless job. We ordered just the other night and it was raining. I gave a decent tip. It’s a super convenient for me, as I didn’t have to drag out 6 kids to eat, or to the grocery store, didn’t have to prepare anything, just waited for the delivery guy. I think it’s a crime that the stores don’t pay them better…but with $5 pizza’s there’s not a lot of profit margin…

I thought we had done this topic before :D…

I usually tip about 3-5 dollars. I went to college in Maine and when the weather was bad delivery was a must. In bad weather we usually gave 5-10 dollars for delivery.
 
I agree with what MKIPP said. I usualy tip 3-5 unless the weather is bad.

It’s how they make their living, so I usually try to think about that when I tip anywhere, out to dinner, pizza guy, etc…
 
Another question - do you tip if you pick up? Either pizza or restaurant take out, there’s usually a line for a tip. Do you tip what you would if the pizza was delivered / you dined in at the restaurant?

If the service is quick and the atmosphere is pleasant, I give them a dollar. If I have to sit among piles of old magazines and newspapers, and/or they take forever and a day, they don’t get anything.
