I usually give $2
A $10 tip for pizza delivery is pretty good.

Understandable that $10 is very little considering the order, but do you really expect $200+ worth of tip if we go by the 15% rule?

He got a tip, I don't understand. Was he expecting a 100 dollars?

I don't know why but this is hilarious.
A regular 20% tip would be way overkill in my opinion. A hundred bucks at least would be fair though.

I'd probably give $50 max.
No, I overtip most of the time. I'm a bartender and I know what it feels like to get stiffed on a daily basis. I feel for the guy, but at this point I never expect a tip.

No wonder he got such a shit tip. He's a redditor.

Well that is how pizza delivery guys make their money. If they get there on time with your pizza in tact why not pay them for their job they did successfully?

To be honest, I probably wouldn't give him a $250 dollar tip. Like maybe 50 bucks. $1400 in pizza doesn't even buy as much as you'd imagine since Pizza is overpriced anyways.

I tip pretty well, between 15%-20%. I never thought pizza guys got tipped based on order total like a normal restaraunt. I give my guy 5 dollars regardless of the order size and he's always super happy and thankful. Though, I've never ordered more than like 80-100 bucks in pizza before. For 1400 I would probably bust out 20-40.
You do realize that these people are payed to deliver pizza right?
This isn't my problem.

So what?
A percentage based tip makes no when you're order thousand dollars worth of food.
10$ was a bit on the low side, but 20% would have been ridiculous.

No, that's how the wait staff makes their money. Pizza delivery is another beast altogether. People will mostly just said "keep the change buddy".

I feel bad, but at the same time, I think buying pizzas to deliver is ridiculously expensive.
That's why I just go pick it up myself.

I want to know the logistics behind delivering 85 pizzas.
They are paid an hourly wage, what sucks is they are not given money usually for gas.

I agree that percentage based tipping kind of stops being reasonable at a certain price level of the underlying good. That said, I still would have probably given him at least $50 since it probably took him 10 times as much effort to deliver that pizza order over a regular pizza order.
Correct, but you can, and usually are, paid less than minimum wage because if you are receiving tips that is a legal practice.

It will be when you ever order again and he puts his dick on your pizza.

Anywhere from $100 to $300 would have been expected.
If you have the money to blow on pre-prepared food, you have to factor in service costs.

Are they not paid by their employers?
I have never understood why tipping is obligatory. You make a poor wage? Take it up with your employer or speak to your government representative to increase minimum wage or find a better job. Don't compel customers to pay more than they have to.

Is there a Chrome add-on that can automatically hide all threads about tipping on GAF?
You put them in the car.Then you deliver them.
Then thank God I didn't tip him!
