<p>I rarely have food delivered- and never has the restaurant charged for delivery.
We had weeks when my kids were young that I had to leave all the groceries at the checkout counter because of crying ( husband worked 2nd shift- not available)
I tried to keep a few frozen pizzas on hand for those times- but we had lots of cold cereal for dinner.</p>
<p>A few years back, the pizza companies started charging $2 for delivery. People stopped tipping (or tipping as much) because they felt they paid for the delivery already.</p>
<p>What % is that of the cost of the pizza?
If the pizza is $10, then $2 is 20%
When we get pizza delivered- we would get two 17" pizzas , which are $24 ea.( not inc tax)
Still tipped 20% but it was enough food not only for dinner for the 4 of us, but breakfast & lunch too.
