I just ordered some thai food through the Orderup Delivery Service, but I don't know how much to tip, if anything at all? Should I tip more or less than a normal waitress? I mean, she's a special waitress right? A waitress that drives/

I usually round up to the next whole number or tip them $5. Whichever is higher.

I usually do a $1 tip for take away at the counter.

Tipping is not really necessary in Thai culture, but maybe 50-100 baht would be a nice gesture.

im going to america one day to see the rust belt and im worruied about tipping because we dont tip here and my ignorance of local customs may be considered rude when its not really meant that way but is just lack of knowledge and i think if i ask how much someone will say a percentage that is too large just to make fun of meand ill think its true and ill be basically rthrowing my money, ill be throwing my money away at sertvice workers and they will think im some kind of idiot even more than people do just from looking at me, and this is just hte sort of thing that goes through,

I'm a dumb sheltered baby so could someone explain to me if scratching off the tip section of the bill affects the delivery driver in anyway? Twice I've paid about 25% in cash as a tip while scratching out the tip part, and the guy would look kind of irritated and act huffy about it. I mean I just gave you a cash tip, fool. Are you gonna get in trouble or something?

The question is whether a driver works harder than an waitress? I submit that they do. All waitress have to do is bring you jacks and cocke.s

Write the word "Cash", and just write the rest as if you were tipping zero dollars.

That's weird because usually people get screwed when you pay the tip on your card because of processing fees and maybe having a lovely employer that makes it a hassle to get what they're owed. Plus there's a paper trail that they don't have to deal with when it's cash.

I think that would be a huge pain in the rear end on the off chance that the IRS took an interest in that business or the employee.

no it's more about just the fact that not only do you not trust them to not write it in later to try and steal a few bucks from you but you do it right in front of his face as a 'gently caress you guys lol'

just write the total in and put a line after it why do you have to scratch out the tip bit?

it's because tips are taxed at 40% because they are treated as a gift (which is dumb) so when you tip $5 on a card at the end of the shift the computer gives the person $3 and automatically withholds the other $2 and marks it as a tax payment on their check stub

Never thought of that. But still you think getting it in cash would be enough.

I always tip the delivery driver because I know that at least some companies make drivers pay for their own gas and I'm pretty much at the very edge of every nearby restaurant's delivery zone. That may be standard for food delivery drivers, I don't know.

Ok, that makes sense. I just write a 0 with a diagonal line through it, I assume that's less offensive than scribbling all over the tip line?

I mean it's not as if it hasn't ever happened before but eh yeah I've heard drivers cashing out saying 'fuckin rear end in a top hat scratching the tip bit out like I'm going to try and steal from him' more than a few times.

Granted it's absurdly rare and I've never met anyone that would risk their job over that but I'm sure tip fraud has happened.

I like the line after the total thing myself because since the $ and the ---- are around the total they can't really change it without it looking super weird and it's a good compromise. Looks more of like an absent minded mark than a calculated 'oh wait lemme make sure this person isn't going to scam me later.' Less effort, too.

0 with a / through it is probably fine, too. I've definitely seen drivers come back with the tip space completely scribbled out and it's like wow they really spent the few seconds to stand there and do that? It's probably just a function of how much effort/time you spend doing it.

if it's just something for my individual consumption i usually tip $2 or 3 but if it's a big bag or multiple bags of poo poo i'll tip roughly 20%

This game stinks
Always tip the delivery guy well. I'm not gay, but I imagine that one day I will get a blowjob offer in return for my generous tip. It isn't gay if I am imagining he is a hot girl delivery woman. Blowjobs are like pizza, because they are always awesome and not necessarily gay if they come from a man (imnotgay).
