Am I cheap for never tipping delivery drivers?!

[Rainbowsandlollipops1]

Just curious to know if I’m BU.

Had a chat about Deliveroo etc the other day and a friend always trips the delivery driver about £5 every time she orders. Me and my other friend said we never do, you get charged service fees, delivery fees etc and pay higher for the food. A £15 meal can end up costing £22.

I have tipped before on Christmas Eve but usually I don’t.

Do you think this is bad or do you think it’s fine?

I would never trip my delivery driver, I think their job is hard enough anyway. I would seriously reconsider that friendship.

Yes I do. About 10%. I grew up in the US though so tipping is normal to me.

No. Never. I've already paid for delivery.

I always do, theyre doing a hard enough job on low pay

I do tip the delivery drivers as they don’t get much from the actual delivery - the service provider and the store take the bulk and sometimes it ends up being less than minimum wage for delivery drivers. It’s been quite a scandal I believe and something they keep campaigning about!

I don’t tip taxi drivers but do for deliveries unless it’s a direct delivery from supermarket etc

What pisses me off is they expect a tip before they deliver.
I once ordered some stuff when we had covid from the shop around the corner. When he saw I hadn’t tipped he threw the stuff on the floor. I don’t know of anything else where I am meant to tip before service.

I always tip them a couple of quid. They are doing a crappy job in the cold and rain because I don’t want to go out in the cold and rain.

I always tip a few pounds. They are on low pay, and if I can afford to splash out on a takeaway, a small tip won't break the bank.

Yes

Don't have Deliveroo etc. as too rural but do tip the driver the rare times we have a Chinese takeaway which is the only one who delivers around here.

Never tip Ocado or any other deliveries such as DHL etc.

I tip at Christmas. Give delivery drivers a cold can of pop or bottle of water when its really hot. But already pay enough in delivery fees so....

I didn't realize that people did tip delivery drivers, around here it's only Tesco and Amazon. I'd be completely broke if I tipped the Amazon person every time!

No, we don't. Not when we've already paid for delivery. I only tip waiting staff and hairdressers.

I got the joke, very funny!!

As a delivery driver I would never expect a tip, I get paid to do the job by my employer

No, as most charge a delivery fee anyway. Tiipping culture is getting OTT, where does it end?

No, I've already paid for delivery and everything costs insane prices now, so no.

I usually tip £2

i only tip food delivery

Yes only food delivery. I wouldn't tip Amazon or Evri etc!!

No, tipping culture is bizarre. You paid for a service. In an ideal world we'd all just boycott anywhere that doesn't pay their staff the legal minimum rather than top it up ourselves.

I never tip anyone at all. If they're doing the job, they're getting paid for it. If they don't like the pay, they are welcome to find another job.

Why tip one and not the other? Genuinely interested because I can't really see the difference. Is it maybe because they've had a longer journey from the restaurant to you than a postie doing lots in one area?
