Tipping when ordering pizza

fitzgese

Serious question - is it the done thing to tip the pizza delivery guy?

Only if you're a Yank because the owner of the large pizza chain lobbied the local senator so he could get away with paying the delivery lad $2 an hour

if there's no delivery charge on top of the pizza, then i'd tip a feller

The Big Red Button

If I order takeaway, I often give a tip, but I don't consider it to be expected of me. And I don't feel at all bad if I don't happen to have extra change on me at the time, or whatever.

I always do, unless there was a major hold up. it seems like a **** job which they get paid **** for.

Well I always give him a euro or two. Depending on how much piza cost so it is €13 I give him €15 and tell him to keep change.

These guys are on min wage & as with waiting staff rely on tips to make extra cash.

The Kevin McCallister method I call it.

I always tip about 2euro yeah. Even if there's a delivery charge.

If I'm ordering pizza it's normally with a friend/s and so typically over 20 euro. Usually give a 2 euro tip.

A euro or 2 because its less money than taxiing for the same work.

Depends how regular I order from them. If very regular, and it's a bif order, €2, as this usually ensures the food will be hot next time as well.

I always tip simply cause the driver will always remember the tippers and will deliver your pizza first

I always do, just a couple of quid but it makes a difference to someone doing a ****ty job over the course of an evening

some random drunk

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. If I've already paid by credit card on the website, then no I wouldn't as I might not have change on me plus it would feel a bit awkward handing over just a tip on its own.

If I was paying with cash, then yes I usually would. Always would if say the bill came to €18 or €18.50, I'd just tell the guy not to worry about the change.

If it's a delivery that's doesn't haven't any hiccups then anywhere between two to five euro. That said, I haven't actually ordered a take away delivery in almost two years, but assuming I could afford it then I'd probably still give a tip. Tipping just made you feel better about being a lazy sloth.

I never do. I pay the delivery charge which is enough.

Don't must pizza takeaways nowadays give free delivery with a minimum spend of so many euros (usually €10)? Surely you wouldn't order a delivery below that value?

I'll always round up to notes (so anything between €15 and €20 I'd always give €20). But if the pizza order was €20, I wouldn't go around searching for three euro to give him, I'd just give the twenty.

Sometimes I just give the f*ckers a glimpse of my abs, or just hold their gaze for an extra second or two. Some things are worth more than money.

Some of them offer free delivery, not all of them though.

If I order something that is E19 or something then I'd just tell them to keep the change, but if I order something that is E15 or E16 then I take the full change from them or give them the exact amount.

However if I pay online I don't give tips, as I usually only pay online when I don't have any/enough cash on me.

Not if they charge for delivery
