Do you tip the person that delivers your pizza?

I always base my tips on how polite and courteous the person I am supposed to be tipping is. I always tip my hair dresser about ten to fifteen dollars (it usually costs about one hundrad dollars to dye my hair so I feel she deserves it for spending three hours on my head). I tip my waiters/waitresses according to how they serve me. I don't always do the fifteen percent rule, if the waiter or waitress is very good at their job I will tip the more than a waiter who just slaps the food down and leaves. I always tip delivery drivers about two or three dollars (my meals that I order are usually about ten dollars so I feel this is a decent tip considering). Taxi drivers... they're another story. I as a general rule, am utterly terrified to get into a cab alone. So if I feel comfortable in the cab they get a bigger tip than cabbies that make me afraid for my life (yes there have been a few of them).

Yes, my husband used to deliver pizzas so I know what it's like. He always said it seemed like the rich people in the nice neighborhoods didn't tip at all, and when he'd go into the poorer neighborhoods, they always tipped!

i normally always tipped them at least $3 depending on how much i ordered. plus i lived upstairs so a couple times they had to make a couple trips. now where we live they don't deliver.

I do,,I really appreciate the job they do,,n here in India, we get free home delivery,,so I prefer giving a tip to the pizza guy, rather than paying for delivery....

Surely I do. If waitresses get tips by delivering food from kitchens to tables, pizza delivery guys should receive tips so. The value they provide is time and gas saving for us.

Sadly theres no pizza delivery where i live. If i'm in the city and order pizza at a friends house or at a hotel I always make sure to tip at least 2 dollars.

I always tip the guy who delivers the pizza.It increases my appetite.

economies apart, I always tip people doing home-delivery of whatever I order. It can be food, it can be my groceries, it can be the man bringing in the gas cylinders for the kitchen. I always feel that I have order groceries worth quite an amount and the person brining it knows that its his job, even then I can definitely give him a tip and show my appreciation of his efforts. Same for food specially. I know these delivery-boys don’t make much and if I have order expensive sumptuous food and someone is bringing it for me, I can definitely give the person a tip which will be a minor fraction of my bill.

no. because they already have delviery charges already so we don't give tip for the delivery man... :( i feel awful we just had a delivery from yellow cab today for our meeting we gave the exact amount.

i always tip anybody that waits on me in a service job.i've worked plenty of them,and i remember how i felt went they left nothing. ..plus,my brother used to deliver pizza and i'd never hear the end of it if i didn't LOL

Yes...I always tip. I think it is unfair that certain employers do not have to pay minimum wage at least and therefore it is up to the customers who are already paying for the service to tip. A tip should be a gratituty over and above the paycheck. Customers should not feel obligated to pay the employees of any business. Sometimes these employees put in a full shift and simply because business is slow get almost no pay. Unless they are extremely rude....I always tip them. still if a person can't afford to pay his help, he should not be in business. My boss has to pay me no matter how slow his business is.

i always tip them for the simple fact that its a convience for me and an inconvience for them yeah its their job but who wants to deal with the stupid drivers out there and they come out in all types of weather its just courtsey

The strange thing is, we can not tip the pizza delivers because there arn't pizza enterprises that deliver the pizza to our house. I think it is just a thing you only see in America, pizza deliverers. But i think i would tip them because you have to pay for the gasoline as well if you would get them at the place they sell the pizza.

I always try to tip the pizza delivery guys, but I also think that they should not ask for it. Many places, and I am not saying just pizza places, will ask for one.

Well in my country , we don't have the pratice tips the pizza delivery or mcdonald deliverly yea even though we knew they earn not much yea .

Yes I do. They don't deliver where I live now (too far out in the country) but when I lived near town I would always tip them. It pays to do that too. I called one night not realizing it was almost time for them to close. When I told them where I lived they said my name and "oh, okay, we'll bring it out to you". I tipped real well that night. It was after a night of partying (when I was young and did that sort of thing) and I was really hungry.

We tip $2-$3 a trip in my household. I used to work for a pizza shop. I personally know the troubles that a delivery person goes through. Not just with the customer but with the workers in the pizza shop, also. With the gasoline prices now, we would probably tip $5 or so.

Umm, in fact I have never ordered pizza delivery from a long distance before. In fact, I never ordered something from a long distance but did it for some other meal instead, the distance was a short one and could be brought without any vehicles and probably he did that. Well, I am usually not into tipping because I am personally a student and I am the one who needs tips :D So, I just pay for the food I ordered, (if I have the money :D ) If not, we just eat something else

I always tip the person delivering my pizza. I used to work for a pizza place as well, I didn't deliver the pizzas, but a friend of mine did, so I got to hear all the stuff he had to go through and how people didn't tip and what not. So now, whenever I get pizza that has to be delivered, and my bill is say $20 or more, I always give $5.

I'll tip the driver if my order is right and if it was delivered when they said it would be delivered. I don't think I should have to reward bad service.
