tipping w/other ppl's money (coworkers, boss)

[mbillie1]

I know, I'm such a hypocrite, etc.

Basically, my boss tells me to order food to be delivered to the office for a meeting or whatever. I order it. It's $31, he gives me a 50. How much are you tipping on someone else's dime here? Eg I'd usually tip $6-7 here, but is there an onus on me to tip strictly 15% because it's my boss's money?

Similarly, coworkers and I order lunch. It's like $23 and change. They've all given me $10s or $20s beforehand, if it matters. 15% automatically, or up to the discretion of the person doing the tipping?

eg I know some penny pinching nits would bag the tip and stiff the delivery guy, and some would do flat 15%, and some would tip as they saw fit.

In example #1, the food ordered was not for me (none of it), so does that change things?

Just wondering if I made the right calls, and genuinely sorry for making another fking tipping thread.
