This is a bizarre thread. I don't understand how the answer could be anything other than an unequivocal yes, assuming we're talking about the US, which I'm pretty sure we are. I haven't been in delivery, but I have been both a busser and a bartender, and it doesn't take very long to figure out that if people don't tip for whatever reason, you're not making any money and whatever money you are making isn't worth the horseshit that people are putting you through.
If you have "moral qualms" with tipping, that's fine. But remember that every time you take that stand, the ONLY PERSON you're hurting is the guy making a good faith effort to provide you with a service and who counts on those tips to pay his rent and feed himself. You're not hurting the system, you're not making a political statement, you're just making someone's day worse because you're a cheap asshole.
If you don't like tips, don't use services in which the servers rely on tips to make their money. Seriously. Either tip the pizza guy or pick up your own fucking food. It's pretty simple.
