I never tipped unless out at a restaurant and I received friendly service.. but somehow I felt guilty or something when I wouldn't tip the pizza delivery guy. Even though he was from the pizza place itself.. (before doordash and stuff)
Years later I started noticing outwardly hostile behaviour if I didn't tip. Bah.
I hate the look you get when you don't do it. Which is my issue. My own. I know lots probably feel the same. I'm definitely trying to overcome that nonsense.
Tipping pizza delivery drivers is customary, and has been ever since I've been alive. They make around as much as wait staff in base-pay (minimum wage or less, depending on the state), and have to pay for their own car, gas, maintenance, etc. So, they depend on tips to survive. It's stupid and exploitative, but that's the way she goes.
