So if a restraurant you go to starts charging reservation fees, you're not going to tip the waiter anymore?

The fee is unrelated to that service. Kind of a bad example.

A delivery fee the same as giving the driver a tip for delivering.

You're basically punishing the driver for something beyond their control.

Nope, I'm not the one stiffing the driver. The store is the one stiffing the driver. They offer a product for a certain price. They offer delivery as a way to increase their business. Many more people buy something they don't have to go out to get. To have begun not charging for that service and then start charging for it is to my mind, more that the store is stealing the tip from the driver.

I'd stop going to the restaurant instead. I need to pay you in exchange for guaranteeing to you that you get to take my money? Absurd.

But you are stiffing the driver: You're holding them all accountable for things completely out of their control (e.g. gas prices, insurance costs, etc). When costs increase, how do you propose they make up the difference? Pizza prices across the board? Charge more for your pizza and people will turn their nose because "like hell am I paying more for pizza when I don't even use delivery!" (In many cases though overall costs ARE increased simply because ingredients start costing more).

When delivery costs more to perform, you increase the price of the delivery overall to maintain (at least) the same level of profitability. The store isn't "stealing tips" from the driver (although I can concede that the system definitely hurts their earning potentials). Would you rather they raise pizza prices for delivery instead?

By not tipping the driver because you're unwilling to pay for the cost of the delivery, you're shifting the cost burden to the driver. Your argument is basically "I don't care if their costs are rising, I don't want to pay any more to compensate it, so the driver is going to eat it."

Usually the "keep the change" things works, but if that's not enough, I'll give a few extra 1's. However, with those coupons, you should just go with the original price of the meal. Make the deliver's day.

**Emanresu13** · 10-14-2012, 04:25 AM

sup i usually tip 20%(not just pizza), but i've tipped from 10% to 100%, depending on service. some stingy people in here xD

OP, tip at pre-couponing rate imo

Tips should be based on the service rendered, not the price of the food.

If I tip 40% for great service and 20% for competent service, why should a great waiter get 40% of a 10 dollar burger and fries, while a only competent waiter gets 20% of 40 dollar filet mignon?

I treat restaurants as my share always being 20 dollars, and your tip is a percentage of that based on quality of service, whether I spent 5 dollar or 50 dollars. So competent service is going to get a 4 dollar tip, up to 10-15 for exceptional service. And I've tipped more than my actual bill many times.

Well the context of the reply WAS relevant...

tipping for pizza is not the same as tipping a restaurant. for most people who have no manners. tip the guy that is helping you out if you give them stress. or you need them to help you with your order.

i did take-out/catering at Famous Daves and would sit on the phone or in person, helping someone make an order. thats not my job. i'm not supposed to sit there and read you the damn men and go through and find out how to save you a dollar here or there. **** that. i do it because i want that extra dollar for my tip. i spent more time with you than a server ever would. i expect some money.

also when people would call up and order $400 worth of food. the take-out employees have to do a lot more than the servers when it comes to food. i'm the one running the servers food first off. then i have to worry about the line of people out the door and the phone ringing nonstop. plus the food sitting at the window. its much more stressful that serving was because of how ignorant people are. they think that the food should be done and ready for them when they show up 10 minutes earlier than they said they would. they think that if they call at 7 o clock on a friday that they should get their food in 20 minutes. NOT how it works. there are people in front of you and a dining area that is on a 30 minute wait.

damn i'm ranting but idc i'm still going. then people start screaming in the waiting area because they waited 10 minutes for their food. BUT THEY ****ING SHOWED UP EARLY. damn this pisses me off so badly. so yea as a current server. i have to say. its muuuch more annoying to work take-out. the people are needier and bitchier. theres the few tables that get that way, but you can walk away from them. in take-out you're thrown in and can't get out.

tl;dr: tip the take out person. at least your change. the loose change really does add up throughout the night if everyone leaves at least the change. it's typical to get 50-100 tickets a night in take-out. so if everyone left like 30 cents. thats $15-30. its REALLY not that hard. minimum wage is not enough for that job.

**j-rodd123** · 10-14-2012, 01:52 PM

tip the people who hand u ur mcdonalds order

tip ur dentist

tip the grocery store guy who showed u where campbell's soup was

tip the bus driver

tip that girl for playing with my balls

(i tip well btw, just annoying that these fkn service ppl expect huge tips and get tips on top of their wages that add up pretty damn nicely (at least here in Canada). and stop bragging people, no one cares if u tip 100%, u really smell like shi.t)

Good point. I think sometimes people forget that the tip is not some extra service charge that you have to pay the business for no reason, but rather something you give the individual helping you out in return for their time. If you decrease the tip on a given order for any reason other than the service quality decreasing, you are just being an ass to the person helping you. If you don't want to pay for the cost of restaurant food plus a reasonable tip, you shouldn't be going to the restaurant.
