Seems like more trouble than it's worth.

Step it up brah

Here's the scenario:

1) You went to a fancy restaurant and ended up with a bill of $250. Your server was excellent, service was great, and prompt. How much do you tip?

2) You went to the same fancy restaurant, and got the same bill. Service sucked, the waitress screwed up six times, and it took forever to get your food. How much do you tip?

3) A bellman brings up your luggage form your vehicle, explains the hotel and how everything works, gets you ice, and more coffee. You had six bags, and there are three of you. How much do you tip?

4) You order pizza. The total comes to $25. You have it delivered. It's delivered on time. How much do you tip?

1) 20% ($50), maybe even 25%

2) Zero. I consider myself a generous tipper, but in the #2 scenario described the waitress doesn't deserve her job, let alone a tip. Especially if it's at a restaurant where the average bill is $250 and up - they should hire much better help.

3) $20 (depends on hotel, too - at a 5s hotel I'd tip $30, at a Mariott I'd tip $10)

4) $5

I order from the same local mom & pop pizza shop every friday night and always tip well. Extremely well. No matter how busy they are, I always get my food hot. If you order from the same place a lot, just tip your drivers folks. They remember addresses and the good tippers, trust me. I usually get my pizza in under 20 minutes.

I used to deliver pizzas when I was much younger. I worked for a chain pizza place and it was one of my first jobs. People who didn't tip - well, let's just say it wasn't a general concern if their order was wrong or food was cold. That's just how it is when you deal with minimum wage workers. They have no work ethic because they are paid shit for wages, and therefore they don't care about customer service.

You may think certain jobs or people are "below you" - but that is a shit way to think. If you think delivering pizzas are below you, feel free to pick it up yourself the next time. Just treat/tip people the way you want to be treated if you were in their shoes. This just goes for almost any area of life, really. It's the human touch.

tl;dr: Tip well. Get good service the next time around. Treat people with respect and they will respect you back.
