This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

After enough people kept asking me how much to tip because I was working/worked as a delivery driver I created the following

Consider how much you don't want to go get it yourself. Put an actual dollar amount on that. If it's just a buck or two, bite the bullet and just go get it. Otherwise, tip that amount.

I think a lot of people $10 don't want to go get their own food when they're considering delivery.

Does delivery not cost extra over there? Here we have a delivery fee, that's your "how much is laziness worth to you" charge, and tips aren't expected anywhere.

There is. The driver doesn't see a dime of it, unless you count the legal minimums for mileage they give you. We also got paid half rate when out on an order

Depends on the chain, for sure.

At the Pizza Hut I worked at (which I know is not standard, even among pizza huts) the driver is making minimum wage the entire time, and no mileage. We also got ~50% of the delivery fee.
