Black Belt in Slacking Off
 
Location: Portland Or-ah-gun
Did I stiff the driver?

So there I was, signing the credit card slip with the big blank space where it said "tip."
  • The order was $148: seven regular menu larges (no substitutions) and 32 wings.

    3.4 miles each way, order placed 11AM, dry weather conditions.

I didn't know what to put so I put $10. Did I stiff the guy?

If rigor mortis has not set in yet you should be okay...

I had a similar question as to how much to tip a hotel maid...
is it based on the price of the room?

Please save us...all you people who know these appropriate thingies.

Delivery tips ... I don't know what Heloise would say, but I usually give about 10%. IMO you didn't stiff him. He didn't serve you, he gets paid more than a waiter and they probably tacked on a delivery charge anyway.

Given your scenario, I think the tip was OK.

Wobbly pops...that's funny stuff right there.

That said, you're short of a 10% tip, but I don't think it was "stiffing" the guy. That was an extra ten dollars for fifteen minutes of work.
