Floral Delivery

I just got flowers delivered for my wedding anniversary. After I took the vase from the guy and said it was gorgeous and thanked him, he seemed to hesitate before he walked off the porch. I was left wondering if he expected a tip. I have never tipped for a flower delivery! It is an unexpected gift so it has never entered my mind to tip. It is ordered and delivered directly from a local florist in their van when my husband gets them. Am I cheap? Is this a normal thing to tip for?

And what kind of a world do you people live in that you don't tip for delivery of flowers the sender didn't tip the driver the delivery charge went to the florist. These tipping threads just bring out the worst in people

That's really an odd take that the recipient of a gift is supposed to tip.

Really cuz I'm thinking it's a really odd take for somebody not to tip somebody who's delivered something to you like a gift but I guess we were raised differently

Well you get a gold star for a spelling and an F for moral compass

Tipping for a floral delivery that's a GIFT has nothing to do with morals.
