Tipping ranges on food delivery apps is getting out of control

Sorry to hear you have the poors.

As someone who worked in the service industry for several years in a few different roles, I have always been an advocate for generous tipping. However,

20% and work up to 30%.

For delivery, this is nonsense.

I have a solution to this. Live just outside the delivery radius of all those clip joint delivery services. What I want, I go get myself.

If you eat out and have cocktail and a craft beer or two that cost 8-10 bucks a piece why should I pay 20% on that?

Just curious


If you didn’t drink alcohol and had a water or soft drink your bill is sig less abs waitress did same amount of work.

It sucks honestly because the delivery guys don’t see shite from all those fees hardly but I don’t blame you either

Half those restaurant websites seem to expect a tip (usually starting at 15%) even when you are picking up your own order. Absolutely ridiculous.

All throughout time 20% was considered a pretty damn good tip. And that was to be waited on multiple times during the course of a night... Now many of these delivery apps start at 20% and work up to 30%. I'm not paying 30% for someone for someone to hand me a bag of food. Especially on top of delivery fees. Really now.

If service is at least decent I’ll always tip 20%. If they give over the top level of service, I’ll do up to 25%. That’s at an actual restaurant.

20% for food delivery is more than plenty.

Btw, said it here before, if you do order Waitr or anything for food. Look online for a free delivery code. There’s always one. That usually covers tip money itself.

It's the way the democrats pay the $15/hour wage.

Picking up your food for a tip. Like WTF

So if you get dressed, fight traffic, burn gas, and wait to be seated you're willing to tip 20% or more to a person who walks your sweet tea and meal from the kitchen to your table. But if a driver gets dressed, fights traffic, burns his/her own gas, waits at the restaurant for your meal and delivers it to your fat arse on the couch, you don't think they deserve a decent tip. Got it.
