Tipping Etiquette: Insights from Delivery Drivers, Generous Midwesterners, and Stingy Tippers

Delivery drivers are weighing in on the debate over tipping on food delivery orders. While some drivers suggest a good tip is 15% to 20% of the total bill, others argue that percentage-based tips don't always account for the time and effort involved in delivering an order. Factors such as distance, travel time, and wait times can affect the value of a tip. Drivers recommend considering these factors when tipping, especially for longer delivery routes. They also highlight the costs associated with maintaining their vehicles and suggest that customers should view delivery as a separate service when determining tips.
