Good for you! These people generally share their tips with all the workers, and that’s a huge percentage of their income, and they can’t serve as many people, so their tips are way down. Do they deserve 20% for carrying my food to my car? No. But I do it to help them out. Beats having people on unemployment. For home deliveries, I tip much higher. I can afford it. I already save so much money by eating at home nearly all the time.

Should the amount of the order matter on a delivery? Does it take twice the effort the deliver two large $25.00 pizzas vs vs two small $ 8.00 pies?

Fast food workers aka McDonald's are paid an actual (minimum) wage (or better). A restaurant server, bartender are paid service minimum wage which is about half of the regular federal/state minimum wage because they have to claim their tips.

You tip service based employees.

Get my point?

In stead of the 20%, I would normally leave, I tip them 15% rounded up to the nearest dollar. So in this case, I would give them $9.00. As no one is really waiting on you I think this is fair and helps them out.

If you want to tip, 10% seems reasonable, imo.

Wal-Mart policies prohibit employees from accepting tips, for whatever that's worth.

Wow......FYI don’t the same as a Publix worker. First server don’t get paid minimum wage and they get tax on their sales....So please tip your servers.

Twice I tried to tip employees bringing out a pizza to my car at Domino's. Both refused. I finally figured out that the restaurant probably does not want their employees picking up and spreading the virus from paper currency.

20%. Same as always

[Kyrahilmer]

Most restaurants pay carry out personnel the Florida servers wage of around $5.00/hour. I’ve always viewed reasonable as 20% for dine in, 10% for take out.

Absolutely NOT.

Since I don't eat out very much and because of the pandemic, I leave a $5 or $10 tip (depending on the bill). I feel it adds up to the same amount before the pandemic.

I tip 20%, give or take. I even tip at the drive-through, telling them to "put it in the tip jar," assuming there is one.

A month or so ago some restaurants we're closed for dine-in, because they couldn't get servers to work - that $600 a week was too good to give up. Now I'm just glad they're working again.

Fair is fair: 20%

[ruralgoddess]

why not?

Walmart employees are not allowed to take tips for bringing groceries to your car. It’s against company policy and they could loose their job. (From my nephew, a Walmart store manager)
