Hwo much do you tip the pizza delivery person?

[columbusgeek]

My dad used to deliver pizzas as a part time job to escape my mother. He said 2 bucks was the average and he as fine with it if I recall.
I tip around 2-3 bucks myself on a 30 dollar order. My food always comes fast and hasn't been wrong yet.

Of course I live in Central Ohio, not NYC or anyplace with a higher cost of living.

we always go pick ours up - we ring them up then they say what time it be ready for.
Cant be bothered with Delivery guys at the door expecting a tip just cause they doing their jobs.KK we all know part of their wage is the tips they get,because they get such a low wage,well heres a tip :

Get a better paid job u loser

2-3 dollars is what we tip, people in the seedier parts of DE rob pizza guys....a lot, many restaurant refuse to deliver to a few parts around my way.

one of my forum members has been robbed twice in a few month and just quit delivering pizzas.

Hi Lasto,
In my case, the gentleman that delivers to my home frequently is developmentally disabled so I doubt he would be able to do or have available to him, a large variety of jobs. Additionally, most delivery people in my area are high school or college kids just trying to make a little extra money for college or car payment-just a stepping stone in their lives-like most of us have at one time or another. I highly doubt this is a long term career goal for most. LOL

When I was delivering, I never got reimbursed for gas, so it's nice to pay for that at least. And if you tipped, you got your food faster. Delivery people remember the good houses... and the bad.

Nothing.

Tipping seems much more prevalent in the US compared with the UK.

I need to stop tipping...

That is so very true!:up: The quoted, estimated delivery time is 30-45 minutes...we always get ours delivered in 20-30...they know (and remember) we tip well.
