Entirely depends on how far you live from the restaurant.

Tip AT the very least $1 per mile or expect cold food.

Normally it is maybe 5-10 bucks depending on how much the order is. Right now my wife and I are fortunate to both have jobs so we are tipping 20-30 percent for deliveries. 5 bucks for pick up.

I'm not worried about Corona, I don't live on top of others like roaches, ie big city.

I live by myself and I'm usually just ordering a pizza or 2 and I always tip at least $5.
When I delivered pizza in Eunice for Mr. Gatti's the tip was usually either nothing or "keep the change" and they meant the coins. It wasn't often I'd get a dollar or more. There was one guy in town that always tipped $5 and we would fight over his delivery. This was over 25 years ago for reference tho.

I'm generally an over-tipper unless the service is really bad. Same goes for delivery. Also, I never complain about the food. Yeah, don't want to send something back only to have them return something else to me.

I typically do a flat 5 bucks for food, but would do more now if I was using it. I’m new to grocery delivery, but have been doing 10 for that.

Delivered pizza freshman year of college. Anything above $3 was greatly appreciated.

However now that I have a big boy job, I tip $10

You're probably more likely to get the Rona at the grocery store baw

I've been giving a $20 bill for each delivery right now. It will go a lot farther for them than me, I would imagine. I won't continue this forever, but while the world's in an uproar and I'm still at work, I am ordering delivery from local restaurants more often and tipping bigger than usual.
