    If you're going to leave a shitty tip

    Then don't tip at all! And don't shit tip and ask for it back. That's just marks you as a mega douchecanoe.
    This happened to my friend. She works in pizza delivery and got a .50 cent tip on a $30 order. She also got nastiness from the guy, who was grumbling how she was late (she wasn't). Later, when she got back, the guy called the restaurant and demanded his shitty tip back! Said the pizza was cold (it wasn't). So the summarize: first he undertipped her. Ok. And then he asked for his measly tip back by lying! She said to just give him his shitty tip back and ripped up the receipt.
    Hearing this got me pissed off for some reason. I think it's because I always try to tip the pizza guys well (at least more than 50 cents). I used to deliver food and I got tipped ok. Not when I delivered flowers though for some reason. Apparently flowers are worse than food. :\ I would be lucky if I got a dollar delivering flowers. But that was ok, since I didn't drive my car, but the company van. Though, I used to drive my car and still didn't get tipped. :\ Anyway I'm rambling.
    TLDR: Guy was a douche.
    Can't reason with the unreasonable.

    ****** Reminds all to take the tipping rants to Fratching **********

    MODS: sorry if I over stepped there

    All I can say is Welcome To My World. Unfortuneately this is the job as it stands these days. This is what the modern food delivery landscape looks like these days. Very downhill and different from even 5 - 10 years ago (I started 12 years ago).
    I'm lost without a paddle and headed up SH*T creek.

      I... I had no idea you were supposed to tip florist deliveries. Granted, the ones up here all drive FTD vans.

        Add me to the list of people who have never tipped for floral deliveries. I know when I have something delivered, I pay a hefty charge for that, but it's going to somebody else. I have always assumed that the same holds true for when I get the rare delivery to me. The last flowers I got came Fed Ex and were dropped off at the house while I was gone. I do not and will not tip Fed Ex drivers, though!

          The other day I ordered a pizza and gave the guy a decent tip and he was just happy he got a tip. He said people were signing the credit card receipt but not filling in the tip. I always tip and tip well. I have also never tipped for a flower delivery.

            I generally do not believe you are supposed to tip Florist deliveries. If you think about it, they are generally a gift. You can't expect the recipient to even know they are coming, let alone have cash on hand for a tip. My husband delivered flowers for about 6 years, and can count on one hand how many tips he received. He looked at any he got as a bonus, rather than something expected.

            As far as food delivery goes, I generally tip a few bucks, but will go up for weather. Last winter, horrible snow storm, didn't want to go out, but the pizza places were delivering. I'm pretty sure I tipped something like 75% because they were driving in the snow and still pleasant. The driver told me he had to argue with the other delivery driver who got to deliver to me, because they knew it would be a good tip. Made me feel all fuzzy inside

                ...Did the driver have to go all the way back to return the fifty cents? And wouldn't it be easy to track if she was late or not based on when the order came in and when she left the restaurant? I realize that business don't bother to argue with customers about this, but it's such an obvious lie. Hope he gets banned.

                  That guy is just trying to get on drivers' shit list. He should know the golden rule: don't piss off the people who bring you food.

                    Flower deliveries were a lot harder to deliver than food in my experience. We didn't have those cute cases that hold food in, and the arrangements were slippery and heavy and splashed all over you. Especially the large ones. Fuck those large ones! They weighed a ton and were bulky and fell apart at the least provocation. Just remembering them makes me sweat. -_-; I'm glad I stopped.

                          I cannot ever tip less than 20%, even on lunch, even if the service is mediocre, unless I am in a country in which tipping is considered rude. And I certainly never, ever tip less than 25% if I made the egregious mistake (due to time constraints or terminal dining) of going to eat in my uniform. I have a big company logo on my hat, featured in my wings, and on every bloody button on my blazer. I don't need the server to start associating my company with negative behavior. And if the server is obviously in a bad mood, I don't need to also add to their already shitty day by pulling on my douchpreserver, stepping into the douchecanoe, and paddling all around Lake Saint Douche for the lulz.

                          Servers get enough crap as it is from people who have never carried a tray in their lives. They're going to get a smile, plenty of gratitude, and at least a polite tip from me because they are putting up with the fact that I wasn't willing to walk the 15 paces to my own fridge and make myself a sandwich.
