I’ve been tipping pizza type deliveries 20% since Covid, but it seems high to me. What’s everyone tip their delivery guys? I don’t want to short them, but I don’t want to go broke either.

Why do you tip at all when they’re rude?
Well as they say, every dog has their day. It could be that the driver is just having a shitty day and we all have them. I try to be empathetic. As long as the guy isn’t spouting out hatred and biogtry, they’ll just get a reduced tip. I’ve been known to give even bigger tips to delivery drivers that are just plain awesome.
As someone who used to be a delivery driver in the uk the idea of getting a tip for doing a shitty job is bat shit insane, I almost never got tips beyond people telling me to keep the change and even when I did get a tip it was usually £2 for driving about 20 miles to do a delivery.
The absolute highest tip I ever got was £10 for delivering 2 full bags of food to a super rich neighbourhood in about 15 mins because it was the first house on my route. (And that £10 was still less than 10% of the cost of the order.)
Because the penalty for being rude shouldn’t be starvation, probably.
I mean, doing your job poorly usually gets you fired, which kinda does lead to starvation if you don’t find a different job. Why should delivery people be the exception?
