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 deliver for Dominoes. We are paid minimum wage. The majority of people don’t tip. Even if you only tip a pound or two it helps to lift our pay and goes towards the wear and tear on our vehicles. It’s a nightmare in the dark. You can’t see house numbers and nobody thinks to leave an outside light on. Have a heart please.

Am I missing a trick by not expecting netball players to bribe tip me for umpiring their games?

I don’t expect tips for doing what I’m paid to do, and tipping culture is yet another social dilemma we Brits are too frightened to talk about.

As a delivery driver (home shopping), I never even expect tips and have refused when offered too (it's usually pensioners because you have helped a lot). Nor do I give tips when we have deliveries.

I would tip takeaway delivery if I ever got it, but luckily I live within walking distance of some excellent takeaways so I don't need to. I certainly wouldn't tip supermarket deliveries or Amazon, though. I know the job is tough and I wouldn't want to do it, but I honestly can't afford to tip everyone who provides me a service.

I usually do £2

No. I will tip if paying cash, they can keep the change, if the change is under 3.
I tip the Tesco driver.

All through a uk winter?

I'm surprised that the Tesco driver accepts tips, I'm sure they aren't supposed to. I would never tip a supermarket delivery.
