I think $50 would have been appropriate.
Too little? Too much?

Yahoo Tip Article

In any other business you get a discount for buying so much. But in the restaurant business they expect you to pay extra. Pretty retarded if you ask me.

Depends on the situation. It is a business, so money creates loyalty.

5-10% (whatever it takes to round up the bill) on delivery and 10-20% on bars / restaurants that have great service and you are planning to come back.

People being so cheap it really pays off, especially on bars around here.

if you are going to spend almost 1500 bucks on food at least leave a benjamin jesus christ.

If someone buys a 5 year membership for your site would you:
A: expect him to tip you 20%
B: give him a 20% discount

This brings about an interesting question. So lets say the industry changed. They did away with all tipping and the restaurant owners raised the wages of the servers so that they were equal to what they were making before with average tips. You know that cost is going to get passed on to you the customer.

Assume the average meal at this place is $20. Which would you rather have?

A. Your meal is $20 and you tip the server whatever you want based on how good you felt the server was so assume you tip 20% your meal would be $24.

B. There are no tips and your meal just costs $24 and you hope you get good service and if you don't your only means of showing your dissatisfaction is to complain.

To me, in the end, you are going to pay for the tip one way or another. Personally, I would like to have some control over it.

In most other countries having a paid per hour employee works just fine.
The tipping culture is the US is completely retarded and NOT an example of how it should work.

Ok $10 was shitty for that many pizzas but for ordering delivery I don't tip much unless It's easy, like food is $17, I slip them a 20 etc, I usually only order 1 meal though. If in a restaurant I do ~10%.

The thing here in Sweden is that the servers and delivery guys/gals have pretty decent wages so they never really expect tip but are ofc glad when they get.
Average delivery guy I'd say is a bit over $30k per year here.

For delivery i tip 1 Euro.
Probably more than they get from most orders.
Sometimes i don't even get the chance to tip them. I usually pay upfront via internet and when they arrive they quickly hand me the food and jump back on their scooter before i can give them a tip. They don't expect you to tip them.

It's interesting to read the different thoughts on this.
In reality if the delivery person made an extra $50 for likely less than an hours worth of work,he did very well that night.

And to the people that say the tipping culture in the US is effed up.. I agree completely. It is.

You might not be as anonymous as you think you are.

i always tip between 15-20% at a restaurant but pizza delivery would be a bit much.. A flat rate based on the service would be fair.. but 10 bucks? 50 sounds about right to me.
