What’s the average tip for a delivery driver in the US? - eviltoast

I’ve been tipping pizza type deliveries 20% since Covid, but it seems high to me. What’s everyone tip their delivery guys? I don’t want to short them, but I don’t want to go broke either.

    As someone whos has been a driver and manager at multiple places over multiple years, I have NEVER seen anyone make less than minimum wage BEFORE tips.

    We had split pay too, if i worked a manager shift it was $8 an hour and delivery was $5.25 IIRC

    I would never order from anywhere that does that

      Store I delivered at, all the drivers made below minimum before tips. Minimum in store, 1/2 that on the road. Plus a pittance in mileage that never actually covered it
