Yes, we do. Usually $4 or $5 on a couple of medium 'zas. We tip the Thai food and sushi delivery guys the same way.
They are usually courteous beforehand, and grateful afterwards, which is good considering many of them might be trying to eek out a living on a second or third job. Most delivery guys in my area are Middle Eastern, African, or Asian men in their late 30s and early 40s. This is not what I'd like to see myself doing at that age, yet they always seem to be courteous and grateful. They are always on time and say thank you. What is more deserving of a tip?
