Tipping Home Groceries Delivery People

Of course not - I'm pretty sure the supermarket already pays them to do the job (despite them **g it up).

I would say it is entirely up to you whether you tip or not.

I don't think it's expected.

Christmas only unless you are loaded.

So you've had p1ss poor service and still feel bad about not paying extra for it?

was just gonna say , the fooked up ur delivery and not only are u still paying the full delivery price but also enquiring if you should tip???? im amazed

i always tip my iceland delivery driver , as he has to drag it up three flight of stairs

That's just the tip of the Iceland, cakes ;-)

How much is the delivery charge and how much do you tip him Ladycakes?

i know someone who does home shopping. they get miffed they do all the hard work picking the food and routing through walk in freezers for things and the drivers who have it easy get all the tips.

well delivery is free so i usually give them a fiver , and a cuppa if they knakered

and all he can eat????

no burt i dnt offer them food

I would say a fiver is a very generous tip.

The point about the loaders being annoyed drivers get tips reminds me of my mate who works in a pizza restaurant. He works his arse off to get the orders ready and the delivery drivers make about £100 a week on top of their salary in tips. Never once have they given him a penny.

thats the wat it goes poker , but my guy does have a lot of stairs to come up , with all me bottles

ladycakes don't you offer him a taste of your Prawn Ring?

Vagisil's not that heavy though surely?

:D ha ha im afraid i dnt offer him my prawn ring , trust u lot to turn this into smut , and i dnt u vagisil thanks

a fiver!

Is 'A fiver' slang for a hand-job?

no a fiver , means a fiver

Mine's just arrived 12 minutes after my 8pm-10pm delivery slot.

Delivery charge refund, I reckon. :)

i usually give them £2

Hairdressers ,delvery men,taxi's,Waitresses ...standard £1 imo

Pizzamen .... 50 pence

Not on your Nelly i don`t think that they should be tipped but each to their own .I thought that tips in a restaurant which were paid for by card are taxed.correct me if i`m wrong.it would be fairer to pool the tips like it is done in a restaurant and shared evenly between the appropriate people.

what i dont agree with is the tips 'pot '


when i go into my restraunt i like to tip certain girls in there who give a decent smiley service .


i dont wish to tip stroppy mares with an attitude .

so i try to tip directly ,although i get told the tips have to go in the pot :(

Ask him if he has any 'extras' on board, like televisions :)

He probably sold your milk to somebody else for half price and told the depot he dropped it. :^0

like any service where you feel you have a better than expected service, then tip...

it is as simple as that...

i loathe to tip when it is forced on me and also like to know where my tips are ending up...

i am not shy about not tipping if i am expected to if i have good reason, which i do usually voice,asked or not...

i totally agree with you coach you are right but i was thinking more of the chefs out the back as far as tipping was concerned.In the big establishments its done on a points basis as in I.E The person with the most points (head Waiter/chef) will get more tips than a commis waiter/chef

people who dont get tips are generally paid more.

those that take jobs that dont get tips generally take that job knowing they dont get tips.

I know about Tesco, and the drivers are paid to drop to doorstep and are technically not insured to enter the home etc. If they lug heavy items inside and help you out, or make special effort of droping in garage etc then they ought to be tipped imo. If you are purposely ordering masses of heavy and awkward items then a tip seems in order too imo. Otherwise if they just knowck on my door and hand me a box then I see no need to tip. I wouldnt tip the fed ex man to do the same thing would I.

I know a couple of lads that did this job and that is more or less as they see it. They also said that the best tippers were the alcoholics who order shed loads of booze and tip a fiver or more for help carting it in. Old folk who tend to need the help were also adamant that they take a tip and were offended if they refused. Indians were the worst as they ordered all the bulk items, and all the special offers, then insisted on checking everything and sending half of it back, and would never tip either.

I think they are around £7 per hour IIRC.

tips in restuarants. Im more or less with Dealem here. got to be worth tipping. I do feel slightly bad when service is good but food poor, but hey ho I didnt come for service in the first instance. And I always tip in cash, unless it is a foreign restuarant in which case i pay both bill and tip by card to ensure it is duly taxed.

Always tip and tip a little extra if the the service is very good you will be remembered and may jump the queue. . . . Tippers first delivery mans rule 1. . . . .

Perhaps he should think about changing job and becoming a delivery driver then.

in 2 words

F.U.C.K NO

Ah, the British and tipping. A disaster.

i didnt think the British were bad.

My mate's just moved to Auz and says he hasn't had a tip ever doing the same thing for months now.

Should you tip when getting a pizza delivered with free delivery?

If you want it delivered quickly next time yes. . . .

ive never even thought of giving a tip. im doing them a favour by ordering online arent i? if everybody just did their own shopping he wouldnt have a job!

id feel weird too. mostly theyre middle aged men. what does a middle aged man want with £2? pizza delivery is usually some spotty student so makes a bit of sense, can use it to buy clearasil. but id feel like i was being patronising given a tesco driver a tip.

I normally answer the door in my y-fronts and a silky top, if they fancy a bit they can have it, otherwise they can fk off.

Bridgeboy as it sussed. I always tip my**y or Curry delivery man. Since about the 2nd time I used them both, my food always comes piping hot in about half hour.

what does a middle aged man want with £2?

30 drops a day @ £2 a drop equals £300 a week tax free

spose it does. i just feel weird about it. if there was an option online to give a £2 tip id pay it but in person id feel a bit weird giving a tip. just want to get it over an done with as quick as possible really. and i mean the job isnt exactly hard, it takes me longer to put the shopping away than it does for the guy to wheel it to my door. maybe i should give myself a tip lol
