Car shouldn't make a difference I agree...I was just kind of shocked.

Usually delivery guys are paid minimum wage and the employer can't afford to pay them more but this time it was the owner doing his own delivery and obviously he ain't doing too bad for himself delivering in a BMW.

I still tipped him 20% in the end and now I get free samosas whenever I order [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Okay, Mr. Trust Fund Baby. Not all of us can afford to tip that opulently.

I'd tip him a $2 bill and half a joint.

45ish minutes or so, but from experience it's usually under 30...I'm guessing he was looking for a parking. Food was still warm though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You don't think students can get away with squatting on the low end of the scale with much less resentment than, say, super rich people?

I never know how much to tip at Sonic. Usually it's whatever change I'm getting back, with a minimum of 25 cents. But the 17 year old chicks seem none too impressed.

What is balla to tip at Sonic? I want to be balla when I'm at Sonic.

You are supposed to tip at sonic? Did not know this. Thought it was just a fast food joint.

generally speaking you have a point. for take out i think the bill would be so little im not sure there is much manipulation of the tip range.

i think the point that people are missing is that it was the owner who delivered the food, not the delivery person.
