ReplyDeleteif you call today you'd better at least double that
those guys are not insured to drive as a job
its a huge risk even without the weather
Joe,
ReplyDeleteWhere I live there isn't any delivery. We are 22 miles outside of Salisbury and down on the water. When i did live in town, it depended on how far they had to come for the delivery. Uusally any where from $5-10.
Between 2 and 3 bucks...depending on the size of the order and how quickly they get there.
ReplyDelete$4.00, usually,almost price of a gallon of gas
ReplyDelete20%, he/she needs it more than I do.
ReplyDeleteYes - $3.00
ReplyDeleteYes. $1 ..maybe $2 if they got there quick
ReplyDeletecome on. at least %20 if they do the job well (on time, etc.). I am pretty sure tips make up the bulk of their pay. i also know that they get robbed quite often. I know of an incident where domino's tried to make an employee pay back the money that was robbed.
ReplyDelete$3 is our standard tip for delivery. We don't live far out of town and usually pick up our own food.
ReplyDeleteUsually $4. They are trying to make a living just like me.
ReplyDeleteWell I only tip maybe 1 or 2 bucks depends on how fast they got there but the place I order from already adds a $2 delivery charge in! Which I do not agree with, I wonder who really gets this delivery charge money!
ReplyDelete$5 if its under 30 or %15 if it is over 30. they are going out when i dont want to or i cant so they deserve to be compensated for my convenience. thanks delivery people.
ReplyDeletealways 4 or 5 bucks and today should be much more, if you can't afford to tip you should pick it up yourself.
ReplyDeleteYes -- you should wear boots instead of flipflops the next time you deliver pizza in the snow.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite pizza place does not deliver. But when I was younger and we ordered out I always tipped very generously.
ReplyDeleteI live in town, close, but always pay $5.00, and it always seems much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do. I tip all my delivery people. Usually it's $5.00. If I didn't have something prepared already for tonight I'd order pizza. Due to the road conditions the tip would be $10.00!
ReplyDeleteA lot of a%$holes out there - $2 and $3 ....are you kidding me? Your too lazy too get off your ass and go pick it up, at least tip them $5 minimum or 20% of the order.....
ReplyDeleteand no, I'm not a delivery driver, I'm a working blue-collar worker
Five dollars.
ReplyDelete9:52 I am with you! This is the story I got from a friend who delivered; originally the delivery fee was to go to the driver, but now in most cases they are lucky to get half and the business keeps half. The way I look at it they are getting double tipped. Most drivers complain because alot of people tip less since they have imposed the delivery fee.
ReplyDeleteGood question. Usually about $5. Depends on the size of the order.
ReplyDeleteusually 25% because i work in the service industry. Last night it was 50% since they had to drive on those roads in that weather
ReplyDeleteJust remember, delivery charges help cover the cost of delivery service. Why shouldn't a store add something to help with the cost of drivers, insurance, etc. when they charge the same amount for food to someone who walks in and doesn't need all the extra expenses.
ReplyDeleteAnd if the driver gets the delivery charge, remember, you tip waitstaff up to 20% and they aren't abusing their vehicles, paying for gas, oil and parts that wear out much sooner, and they aren't putting their vehicles (and themselves) at risk to serve you your food.
As someone who delivers food, I can tell you more people are not tipping or are just offering the coin change, than are tipping.
And if you order in the snow, for crying out loud, shovel a path to your door.
For the few places that deliver to our neighborhood, at least 20%. Wish more would deliver to us!
ReplyDelete$3 to $5 Hell it is a treat for me to even afford pizza out
ReplyDeleteAbout $5 on a two pizza and a 2liter order.
ReplyDeleteAt least 20% since they are saving me a trip.
ReplyDeleteI knew I had to move when I called Dominos, and they told me they didn't deliver to my street after dark.
ReplyDeleteI'd give $2 for anything up to 20, $3 for up to 25, $4 til about 35. I automatically give $10 in inclement weather as it is today no matter how large the order. But it also depends on the company's delivery charge and i will subtract that amount from the tip cause that charge goes to the driver anyways. I know i was a driver for 8 years
ReplyDeleteYes, $5-$8 depends on weather..cathy j
ReplyDeletei warn them about the housr across the street.
ReplyDeleteYou should be tipping 15-20%, just so all you cheap people know!!! Don't eat out or order food for delivery unless you can pay up....GEESH!
ReplyDelete5 or 6 bucks.
ReplyDeleteBetween 3 & 5 depending on the speed of delivery, and the weather. If the weather is nasty double it.
ReplyDelete$2.00-$4.00 is my typical tip. I worked my way through college depending on tips.

ReplyDeleteDelivery pizza sucks.
ReplyDeleteMake your own start with the dough. Put pizza sauce on, chopped onions browned italian sausage, pepperoni, black olives, choppen red and green bell pepper, and lots of mozzerela. bake in the oven.
Should be 3/4" on top of the crust!
I always tip them at least a 5. They earn everything they make! Especially when they deliver in high crime neighborhoods. They always talk about the dangerous jobs that law enforcement handle, but I think it is just as dangerous to be a delivery driver of a convenience store clerk! Who really looks out for them?
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of cheapskates on this blog! I can't believe anyone would only tip $ 1.00 to 42.00 for a pizza. I am a woman and yes I work hard for my money in an office, but to me it would be worth $5.00 not to have to go out of the house to get it.
ReplyDeleteAll of you people are ridiculous. $1 or $2??? These people are risking their lives every day, snow or not. I am not a delivery driver, nor would I want to be, because of ignorant people like you. My wife is a server at a popular restaurant in town, and I get to hear all the horror stories of how people have no idea how to tip. Example - $2 on $65, $3 on $50...and so on. She happens to be an excellent server and is as nice as she can be. Get real, people. If you're not going to tip well, don't go out at all.
ReplyDeleteThey ought to tip me to eat Dominos Pizza...ugh!
ReplyDelete11:21
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you ask for food to be delivered last night. There is no way I would have endangered someones life to feed my a$$
20%, $5 minimum.
ReplyDeletehonestly the restaurants shouldn't depend on patrons to pay their employees pay checks, that is a disgrace first of all... I certainly tip 20% or more but overall they should atleast get minimum wage not $2.50 an hr or less
ReplyDeleteAnonymous or not I would never admit to tipping $1-$2 that is ridiculous.. And if you don't live that far then drive your lazy butt to the restaurant and pick it up yourselves.. I can't believe I've worked in the service industry for this long with the cheap people that live on the Eastern Shore.
