Do you tip the delivery guy/gal?

Delivery drivers should be in a position where they can afford to pay tax. Seeing as their employers refuse to pay anything close to a living wage, though, I consider the drivers to be victims of tyranny. Thus they’re morally exempt from paying tax in their earnings in my view.



What are you saying exactly?

Which part of the 10 word sentence do you not understand?

All of it. Those ten words may as well have been “Juice tractor bean poster elk pond monitor Japanese robust mushroom” for all the sense they made.

Oh right Woke Hogan, now I understand where you are coming from even better.

Don't worry about it, be happy.

You're come as one miserable f*cker on this subject. Takeaways are a nice treat the odd time. Nothing wrong with them in moderation. Some Indian places do amazing food that you'd fail to rustle up yourself. Pizza night with the family can be lovely, say for the Toy Show or something. Kids love that type of thing. Burritos to your door when you're a bit hungover. Nice one. There's a multitude of good food out there, it's not all muck from the local chipper.

Was a delivery guy for a while, the people that would tip would mostly be the poor people, been offered sweets, beer, pie, etc.
I never tip, if I wanna do charity work I do charity work but definitely not by tipping, why would I hand over money for nothing?
This argument with he has bills to pay means nothing, I got bills to pay as well will you give me free money?

I dont tip delivery drivers because I don't tip delivery drivers.

Simple as, the list of the traditional 'who needs to be tipped' seems to be getting longer by the day.


Fair play to the ones that do, and fair play to the ones that don't. No big deal. And if any delivery driver ever had a problem with me not tipping, I'd probably stop ordering from there. It's an ignorant thing to assume someone will tip you, i might tip them at Christmas or if there's a storm, but there's no need to be tipping them every weekend when they deliver your pizza simply for doing their job. I wouldn't tip the deli woman in my local spar for simply making my roll and doing her job

Again. There's no wrong or right with it tbh. I keep my tipping the old fashioned way, if I'm happy with service in a restaurant.

I worked in a small takeaway, not a chain, and the delivery guy was getting €40 a night plus each delivery charge and tips. So that's like a full day's work for someone on minimum wage except he only needed to do 5-10pm or whatever. Plus it was cash in hand so probably gets his €200 dole on top of 4-5 nights a week driving so, it's not like he badly needs my extra euro or two

No not at all. You recall incorrectly. Never said I was massively overweight and I certainly never said it was from eating too much. You're making that up I think.

I did play for the boards football team though (which was great fun and which you mocked btw) and have gotten myself in good shape. 4/5 days a week in the gym and wiser choices in diet. Have one cheat night a week where I do eat something bad and it's class, a good treat and a reward for working hard.

Also, joined Slimming World with my OH as a show of support. The difference it made for her phenomenal. Sometimes showing support to a loved one is a great motivator, unlike the way you talk about your daughter on here and her habits. Maybe a more loving approach from your goodself would help her. It's shameful the way you speak about her tbh.

If it was small I might.
However locally one guy runs a delivery service himself and has a tidy enough profit out of it.
His son works at one takeaway.
If your waiting for food and daddy lands in and needs a burger for somebody. The son will take stuff off your bag that's almost ready for you and hand it to daddy leaving your stuff going cold while they prepare more.

I'd have to make an objection, and it wouldn't be by email.

It’s true but it’s not the reason I don’t tip. Its not meanness. It’s a matter of not giving away money for no reason other than convention.

Well you said you lost 2.5 stone from playing football which is by my definition a “massive amount” of weight, which can only come about from ingesting too many calories.

I distinctly remember congratulating you for joining that team to lose weight and I congratulate your OH for joining Swimming World now.

I wouldn’t take too much of the credit for her weight loss if I was you, though, assuming you have the same problem oversharing from your plate as you do on here. :rolleyes:

If a 'decent wage' was forced into take aways in relation to their drivers there would be no drivers.

First of all it would not be financially viable for the take away to pay 12e ph and have 2/3 drivers on staff for 6/7 hrs a night. They would pass the cost on to the customer.

Second, if it did somehow happen then the drivers would have to pay tax. They would be entitled to holidays, maybe sick leave.

The paying tax part would rule out anyone with a full time job which is about 80% of drivers I'd say.

The current system works for everyone and I never said it didn't. I literally asked a simple as about tips.........

Depends how much the delivery fee was when I ordered.

I would never eat that swill but if I did I would be happy to pay, say, 25 euros for a meal and know the driver is getting paid appropriately for his labour rather than a tenner and think there might be a possibility the driver is getting exploited.

I seldom mention my OH on here. You seem to make a habit of calling your daughter obese. Also never took credit for any loss my OH may have had, said I supported her. If certainly never mock her online. Anything she lost she lost herself.

I lost 2.5 stone so went from pudgy belly to having definition. Was never massively obese.

Mate, I don’t care. If you’re cranky have a plate of chips or something, get that blood sugar up.

Omackeral

Woke, do you realise that there's a literally dozens of types of food you can order for delivery? You saying "I wouldn't eat that swill" is senseless. You can get Lebanese, sushi , bagels , premium sandwiches all delivered you know? It's not only gloopy processed stuff that's available. Open your mind a bit there.

Brilliant response. Chips only once a week these days though. Not cranky, on smashing form. Actually just about to hit the gym too funnily enough before a night shift.

Jaysus lads now that I think of it, I often deliver food to people that have ordered it and I never got a payment, never mind a tip.

You wouldn't mind but I'd have to go out and shoot it, gut it, skin it and butcher it too.

Them delivery drivers don't know how lucky they are.

If there's a quid in the difference I let them have it.

I don't have the money to be giving 2-3 euro to delivery drivers soz.

Wait. Are you supposed to tip them if there is a delivery charge?

Always, minimum 1 euro

I don’t and we get a lot of online deliveries but my thinking is they’re being paid to deliver to my house so
I shouldn’t need to tip them for doing what they’re being paid to.

I used to tip the Chinese/pizza delivery guy but that's before the days of apps and online payment.

Nowadays I generally don't have more than a few euro in cash on me anyway most of the time, but the app includes a 3 euro charge anyway so that's more enough to be honest.

No but I cant get food delivered because I'm too far from any towns. I did try tip the young fella that insisted on bringing a television I bought out to the car. He wouldn't take the tip

Jamiekelly

The only reason I keep tipping a delivery driver is because I know it will be delivered much faster any time I make an order. If you're paying 20 euro for food then what's the point in being stingy with an extra euro or two to the point of waiting an extra 15-20 minutes on a friday or saturday night to receive food that is barely warm after sitting in a car for 2 other deliveries. Anytime I make an order of 17.50 on an app on a saturday night I know I won't be waiting more than 20 minutes because the driver knows I won't want the change back and if he's getting an extra 2 euro he might as well make my house the first priority.

As for the idea of tipping other industries. The last time I checked if I get something ordered online, like a littlewoods delivery via DHL for example, it won't be time sensitive, the product is not perishable. But with cooked food that you're already paying a premium on I'd rather not be stingy. Also comparing a logistics company to an often part time local takeaway driver is apples and oranges.

Your assertion that "it says more about me" to wait for my change is also implying that I am somehow being mean for taking my money back off of you.

These employees are earning such a low wage that they have to resort to panhandling from the customer to “pay their rent.” I would consider that being exploited.
