Pizza Delivery Tip

The standard way to avoid this awkward situation is to state the amount of change you want back as you are handing him the money.

Bingo. Guy: "That'll be $15.26" You: *Handing him a $20* "Can I get $2 back?"

So what do you say to the how much change do you want question?

Every pizza I delivered I did it with the attitude I wasnt getting a tip. So I would never ask "do you want change?" or "how much change do you want?" or any of that crap. They paid, I gave them the change, and id turn around and start to leave. If they handed me anything I said thank you like I would say it if I wasnt expecting to get anything. I pretty much always made more in tips than the other drivers who did the "standard" routine you got. And I think my attitude was why. Not saying I wasnt above tricks like the dirty dollar and what not, but even when I was doing them I still carried the attitude that I didnt expect a tip.

i always tip well because i assume that i'll get my order faster the next time i call, as well as thinking that it would be less likely they might spit in my food.

Alobar is completely right. I have absolutely no problem tipping cab drivers and pizza delivery guys, but I absolutely hate it when they try to pull some bs routine to trick or guilt me into tipping more

So I order some pizza for delivery.
The total is like $15.26

The pizza delivery guy comes to the door,
I give him a $20.

Pizza Guy: "Do you want change?"
Me (thinking): Yeah, I'm not going to tip you like $5 on a $15 order, dipwad"
Me (speaking): Yes

Pizza Guy: "How much change do you want?"
Me (thinking): HOW MUCH CHANGE DO I WANT? WTF!!!! UHHH, HOW ABOUT THE CORRECT AMOUNT? OR MAYBE FORGET THE ODD CENTS AND GIVE ME $4, AND THEN I WILL DECIDE WHAT, IF ANY, TIP YOU GET.

So what do you say to the how much change do you want question?

[/ QUOTE ]

Are you really that much of a douche that you need the guy to give you change and then you give him back his tip. WTF? Hand him the $20 and say "give me back 2"

Also yay tipping thread!

Alobar,

"The dirty dollar"?

[NutCrackerr]

You should have said $3 dollars.

The standard tip is $1 + the change for pizza delivery.

Not to try and steal this thread, but ...

What do folks usually tip for a delivery guy? Is it a standard ($2)? Is it a percentage of the total?
