Does delivery not cost extra over there? Here we have a delivery fee, that’s your “how much is laziness worth to you” charge, and tips aren’t expected anywhere.
There is. The driver doesn’t see a dime of it, unless you count the legal minimums for mileage they give you. We also got paid half rate when out on an order
At the Pizza Hut I worked at (which I know is not standard, even among pizza huts) the driver is making minimum wage the entire time, and no mileage. We also got ~50% of the delivery fee.
Good. We shouldn’t start that shit what’s going on in the US. That’s why I never tip, unless it’s a really, really, exceptionally good service when they went out of their way to handle me.
Ignoring the fact that ordering online or with an app asks you to tip before the service actually happens, I don’t even know what exceptionally good delivery service would look like. I’m paying someone to drop food off next to my door within a certain time frame, there’s no way they can do it any better and a million ways to do it worse. Tipping deliveries is nuts. Thankfully I recently moved out of the suburbs and now have dozens of restaurants in walking distance, so I never use Doordash or whatever any more anyway.
I meant tipping in general.
Of course with delivery, there is no room for anything exceptional. Therefore it’s exactly zero tip every time from me, they are doing their job. But fortunately tipping here is not expected, that’s what their salaries are for.

Depends on the chain, for sure.

Not tipping delivery sucks.
Yeah “how much is laziness worth to you” is just a way of ensuring there’s never a mutually good deal.
But no delivery is traditionally tipped here, it’s why I always pick up. If I want food with no effort, I’ve got no effort food at home.
