My tipping totally depends on the situation

Me too. I tip regular people I see well over the norm. I will also tip at restaurants well over if they are good.

I tip pizza delivery guys well because my being stingy won't single handedly fix the messed up system

Moving it from 15% to 20% means the price of food doesn’t change....or the

Service at a restaurant would have to be absolutely and objectively horrible for me not to give 20%

I don't tip the pizza delivery driver because I always pick it up myself.

I tip based on service provided. If I go to a really expensive place

I try to tip generously. It’s a good way to make someone’s day, and it’s no sweat off my back.

Would have no problem giving a pizza delivery guy $10-20 to deliver in snow
boorad
2/14/19 11:07am
And you are the one making his job crappy

If you’re ordering delivery from the same place over and over you’re probably getting spit in your pizza.
Virginia Ute
2/14/19 11:33am
Do you tip people at McDonald's? They have crappy jobs too
boorad
2/14/19 11:57am
If mcd delivered I would

I would too

Do what you want. I’m just saying you come across as a trashy
Virginia Ute

Explain to me why they should get tipped
boorad
2/14/19 3:28pm
Because they make less than minimum wage. You may not like it but it is what it

Still waiting for a logical reason why they should be tipped...

Yes, it is your responsibility. I’m not gonna make you understand it.
Virginia Ute

But I’m not “stiffing” anyone
boorad
2/14/19 6:38pm
Here’s an idea: go pickup your own pizza.
TCuz

IT DOESN’T GO DIRECTLY TO THE DRIVER NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU THINK IT SHOULD!!!!!
Dillinger
2/14/19 7:21pm
I realize this. The system is messed up. I know that my stinginess won’t fix it
boorad
2/14/19 8:55pm
Yeah sure make the poor minimum wage guy pay for your disagreements with the system.
Virginia Ute
2/14/19 10:39pm
Sorry just noticed you’re a Ute

He basically risked his life to bring you a freaking pizza. Tip the guy.

Risked his life? What are you talking about?
boorad
2/15/19 9:10am
He’s driving. It’s a risk. To bring you a pizza. Give him a few bucks.

Do you tip your mailman? Your UPS driver?
boorad
2/15/19 12:34pm
It's not CB, it's weird American custom. It doesn't make sense but
JuicyJam

Tipping isn't necessarily going to be logical. The lines of when we do and don't
Jay Rick

If you are too cheap to tip delivery drivers, you’re too poor to get delivery.
TCuz

Spot on.

For those saying that you stick with societal norms, does that mean that you also tip your mailman, garbage collector,

Man, if someone doesn't tip their hairstylist...how cheap can you get.

I think hotel maid tips are pretty common too.

Social norms do not dictate that I tip those people.

Yes, I do.

20-25%. Never lower. Once in a while higher but rare
cougfanz
2/14/19 10:33am
For regular service, I do 20% rounded up to the next dollar (or two)
cheezedawg

Seems to me tipping should be more fee based rather than percentage.

I'm in Costa Rica right now. I searched online before hand and the consensus was that tipping isn't expected here.

This would be nice.
JuicyJam

Tippin a dollar for good service makes me feel good inside. I'm selfish that way

20% and up, more if I take my family

My wife and I were both servers for a long time. We over tip every time.

Even bad service? If so, why? I dont understand the rationale of rewarding bad

I don't tip for anything that I can do myself

You've got to earn my tip. I am a very generous tipper, but you've got to earn it.

Tipping ends up being racist and sexist and is overall a terrible system.
