At least in the US most food service employees (waiters/waitresses/delivery guys/etc.) get paid either close to minimum wage or, in some cases, below, with tips making up the bulk of their income. If you are in a restaurant with seated service and your server does a good job, then the decent thing to do is to give them a tip. When it comes to delivery service, as Deezlepope mentions, it pays off to be kind to the delivery guy/gal by giving them a decent tip; it does make a difference.

... however, I do object to fast food places & other counter service establishments putting a cup by the register with "Tips" handwritten on it. Often the owner/manager does not even know that their employees are doing it.
