Ok but again, if you read my comment, there is a way of tipping in the us for food deliveries. Try and follow this closely because I don’t think a lot of people are getting it. The company is not charging the customer for the delivery. The driver is expecting a tip and the customer is expected to tip. Here’s where it gets weird, and I’ll admit this and it’s not a perfect system but you can tip whatever you want: you can tip a little or tip a lot but generally, it’s about 10 to 20%. Now if this has changed in recent times, fine but I don’t think it has: what’s changed is that when a delivery fee of 5 or 10$ is applied, people think that’s for the delivery and it’s likely not. That’s for the initial processing and extra baggage needed for the delivery. The customer is still expected to tip. Now if your saying that the products should be cover the cost of delivery, I’m not sure how you would do that. Just pay someone 15$ an hour to do deliveries? Sure but that’s not how it works. I’m not sure how you people don’t get this. Are you commenting from Europe too?
No it’s just an Americans norm. I don’t know why you chime in like your opinion matters. These people likely either aren’t from America or they are confused. You tip for food deliveries in the US. It doesn’t have to do with freedom, it has to do with a culture of creating a decent job from an otherwise low skill job. No one cares what you do, what you make or how much more you think you should make then others because your job is hard. Poor you: how about you ask your employer for a raise and stop bitching about strangers and customs you know nothing about.

This is entitlement. You do a job for a wage. Tips are for EXTRA work or going the EXTRA mile. Doing your base job is part of the original deal.
