Do you tip Amazon fresh delivery drivers?

Do you tip the regular Amazon delivery person? Or any other supermarket delivery?

I don't tip any kind of delivery person. If I did, I'd be broke by the weekend!

I tip Tesco food delivery guys because they bring the stuff into the kitchen and unpack for me, much appreciated.

I type Tesco or Asda delivery men. Also tip takeaway men and Uber men. I'm just a tipper. I think people who don't are quite mean. What's a few quid when someone's delivering?

Andwegoroundagain · 05/09/2024 19:32

Only the Deliveroo guys. No one else

@Mummyof3Me2021 Do you tip the person who serves you on a till? In the butchers/bakers etc? The bank teller? Where does your tipping stop?

Mummyof3Me2021 · 05/09/2024 19:47

No, I just tip deliver people 😁 hth.

I don't tip delivery drivers as per pp, I'd be skint in no time! But I do have cold cans in the fridge waiting for them to knock and ice pops on hot days. If I have chocolate bars in, I'll offer them one of them too, for abit of late afternoon energy.

@HoneyButterPopcornignore I caught the wrong person
@Mummyof3Me2021 why just delivery drivers? Most till / bar staff are minimum wage

We never get food deliveries but I’m not a big fan of tipping in general either. Not now that we have a minimum wage. I don’t mind being called mean tbh. I shall dry my tears with my fifty pound notes. You don’t get rich giving your money away for nothing!

Only men?
I think tipping delivery drivers etc is ridiculous. Unless they've gone above and beyond, they are just doing their job. I don't tip shop workers so why should I tip delivery drivers?

I don't really visit bars. But have been known to give tips at bars on occasion. My unhinged tipping seems to be upsetting some! 😂 to clarify I tip taxi drivers too. Of course I don't just tip men, that's classic Mumsnet contraryness!

I'm quite happy with the tipping situation. I seem to have irritated some people by suggesting it's mean. Just my opinion. Carry on wiping your tears with £50 notes.🙄

I tip food delivery people and the man who delivers my cash and carry orders (loads of heavy boxes).

@Mummyof3Me2021 I find your attitude weird tbh, when I used to work in pubs I never kept tips & would have similar conversations with the "tipper" they weren't sure why they were doing it apart from they "had more money" at the time i had over 55 grand in my account and just fancied a social.job

Thistooshallpass24 · 05/09/2024 20:25

I don't know about Amazon Fresh delivery drivers but you're not supposed to tip the Tesco ones.

Good for you. 😀I would imagine you're not in the majority when it comes to just wanting a social job with 50k in the bank (nice stealth boast though!)

So you would effectively talk your tipper out of tipping because you were ok, what about your colleagues? I find that attitude very weird. Very I'm ok jack.

Thistooshallpass24 · 06/09/2024 08:30

@HoneyButterPopcorn again ignore ( new phone)
@Mummyof3Me2021 Yeah I asked them if they had tipped anyone else that day? Told them I didn't need or want their money , my colleagues? They did what they wanted regarding tips. Hth

No, delivery drivers are paid more than check out!
