$1 tip or lower = cheap ass get out and get your own pizza.
$2 = Nut tap.
$3 = Average.
$4 = Thank you! You just helped me forget the last shitty customer who didn't tip.
$5 + = You're a great person. Ill be sure to bring you your pizza first next time.
I worked for 10+ years as a driver, AM, AGM and GM. I've seen it all, I've heard it all, and if you tip online $1.00 and the driver has a second delivery that gave him $3 or more, guess who gets their pizza first?

I think a lot of places are different. I've worked delivery in two different pizza places and received a flat rate that was right around minimum wage at the time. In Florida, I think it's around $7.25 now.
Anyway, in the first place the driver received $1.50 of the $2.50 delivery charge and $1.00 of the $2.00 fee in the second.
With a delivery area that covers roughly 5 miles, driving an average car that gets around 25 MPG, that $1.00 often just pays for fuel. Wear and tear also can't be overstated, in my opinion. Driving delivery absolutely wrecks your car. New tires, brakes, oil changes far more frequently, and it destroys your transmission with the city miles.

Yeah. Obviously it really depends, but given the choice, I'll take a middle-class white person from the age of 28-45 over anyone else.
