Did I stiff the driver? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

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?

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.

i'd have given him a ten spot....and invited him over to the pad for some wobbly pops......

hey!!!.........you never know....the dude might have some conections.

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.
