I’ve been tipping pizza type deliveries 20% since Covid, but it seems high to me. What’s everyone tip their delivery guys? I don’t want to short them, but I don’t want to go broke either.

I’m feeding an entire household so my orders are never small. Anyways, I used to be a pizza delivery driver as my first real job , so now that I’m better off financially I like to give the kids an amount I would be happy with for my work.

Keep in mind you can literally die on the road just trying to bring someone else hot food, I like to show the driver they’re appreciated.
