Tips tips!

[tzikeh]

The tip poll--and only a week late!

This is a U.S.-centric poll. Tipping in the U.S. is very different from tipping in Europe; the results would be hopelessly skewed if it were a poll that included all nations. (I don't know if Canada's tipping etiquette is just like the U.S.; if it is, feel free to join in!)

If you find it interesting, please point friends in this direction.

OK, what the hell *is* the standard, expected tip for food delivery?

My spouse used to be a pizza delivery driver 15-20 years ago, and he tipped (and thought it was reasonable when he got tipped this way) by rounding the cost of the pizza up to the nearest dollar and then adding another dollar.

In later years, we increased this to two extra dollars, and then when gas prices went up we increased it more, but the online service we use to order food suggests 15-20% (which they calculate *after* adding tax, delivery charge, and service charge) and ... I dunno. Is that really standard now?

I give about 10% on delivery.

Good to know!
