Takeaway tips

[scottish]

Out of curiousity, do you ever tip takeaway drivers?

I know some people are stringy and will wait for the exact penny in change from the drivers.

Personally I usually give them £1 or so (on top of the £1.50+ delivery charge that they'll get in the price already)

[Absently]

rarely, we normally pay online for our takeaways

[scottish]

ah we have that option but I prefer paying in cash than giving random takeaways my info or sites like just-eat

[Stephen]

most of the time they phone up and it takes 10 minutes for them to find the house

we should be tipped for being their satnav

[Red]

no, i always pay online if i get it delivered anyway!

[Empired]

we've only recently started getting takeaways. And even now we usually go and pick up rather than have someone deliver. But on the couple of times I've had a delivery to the door, I/a friend tipped £1. do the same for nice taxi drivers.

Online card payers and big orders are normally the stingiest. People that order regularly usually have an additional tip on top of the right amount of money and then there's lazy people that if it takes long enough to find the right change will just say keep it.

I normally tip 1-2 £

[Draqom]

Very rarely

[MKR&*42]

i usually tip them and taxi drivers because i am not particularly fussed about the change unless its five quid or up really :P

[FlyingJesus]

I don't pay cash so nope

[Lewis]

I don't pay anyone anymore than I need to.

I would if I was a little richer, sure.

[dbgtz]

I rarely tip anybody, I'm cheap as ****. They have to have gone above and beyond for me to tip.

[lawrawrrr]

pay online normally but if I do pay in cash (same for taxi drivers) and it's like £4 or £9 I'll let them keep the change

[wixard]

tip 1-2

literally just have the dilemma of ordering online and not having a tip for them gonna feel so bad
but i'll make my brother open the door

[sexpot]

yes, I always tip them. usually 3 or 4 dollars.

[Sian]

not normally.

taxi drivers DO NOT need to be tipped in guernsey (petrol is cheaper, yet the base rate charge is like £2 more then anywhere in england, also no car tax, no MOT, just insurance)

Though sometimes if I don't have exact change and it's like a couple of quid away then delivery drivers will get it. Weird because I always make sure i tip waiters.

[Jurv]

nope i rarely tip anyone lol i don't have a lot of money so try and save all of it

if my mum pays though which most of the time she does she'll tip

[BlueEyedSarah]

I used to be a delivery driver, all I can say about that job is never again! I usually tip a couple dollers because knowing getting minimum wage with those jobs isn't enough to survive on.

[sex]

only if there's no delivery charge
ill if pay by card ill tip usually

[Sharon]

errrrr normally just say keep change but if it's obv quite a lot ill just say take £1 for urself

idk they typically earn £5 an hour with £1 per delivery on top (this is my place) so hardly scrimping

good time to ask this so does your restaurant pay them a basic salary, or do they earn the money based on amount of deliveries? or both

like say it's £1.50 delivery charge, does your driver earn that + basic wage, or do they just get the delivery charge? or what

he gets £5 an hour no matter how many deliveries there are so basically he's defo gonna earn 30 that day if he works 6 hours and there wasn't a single delivery. but if he deliverers 30 that night he will get 60 paid to him cos he gets £1 for each delivery he does too

then tips are his too so say he really does so 30 deliveries that night... prob go home with at least 70/80 right?

[Hannah]

No, I'm a tight ass and every penny helps.

[Matt]

I don't normally get it delivered but when I do I don't normally tip them :P

[IzzyUhh]

Dont think we've ever tipped anyone who delivers but that may be bcos they do like free delivery over 20 quid

[Narnat,]

I do tend to tip them even if i have paid online by card

[-:Undertaker:-]

I only got takeaways delivered for a year about two years ago now, and I never tipped - especially at the prices they were charging.

[Kardan]

Nope, I pay online.

[kooldude23]

I actually work in the kitchen at my local Domino's Pizza and I would never tip a delivery driver. It's so much harder working in the store than it is driving the food around. We are all on the same per hour and it's so demotivating seeming them walk away with £20+ in bonus cash at the end of the night. Nobody ever tips over the counter.

[Stephen]

A lot of the drivers round my area just do it for extra £ anyway when they make pretty good money already
