[QUOTE="swimfreak26, post: 1718991, member: 544365"] I tip waiters and waitresses very well. If the service is good, there's no harm in tipping over 20%, and I'll gladly do it, and usually do. If the service is shitty, the tip is shitty. The two jobs, delivery driver, and waiter, are not similar in my eyes at all. A waiter takes care of you during your meal. They make sure the food is done right, that you've always got a full glass, and that your experience at the restaurant is a good one. They provide a friendly environment, and a friendly face to share a conversation with. A waiter that brings your food out, and forgets about you, is what most would consider a shitty waiter. And that is precisely what a delivery driver does...brings your food to you, leaves, does nothing else. Now, don't get me wrong, that what his job is...but, there inlies the difference. And that is exactly why waiters get paid ~$2.50 an hour while drivers get at least minimum wage. Waiters earn a tip by doing their job well...a delivery driver has no way to excell at their job, and therfore should not be rewarded for simply doing what's expected, and necessary to keep their job.
