Steve5380 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I am inclined to tip delivery guys, because this is something expected that adds to their income. I also like to tip waiters and others, but only if tipping is not indecently pushed. But I very seldom tip, because I never have pizzas or other stuff delivered, I rarely eat in restaurants, I like to be self-sufficient.

Swimfun Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Only if the performance is extremely good, similar to ordinary workers. Only reward the best; otherwise, it will foster a culture of mandatory expectation, where tipping is obligatory despite underperformance. Tips serve to encourage better performance; otherwise, who will be motivated to go the extra mile to achieve excellent service? Remember, our money is hard-earned too; it doesn't come easy. yhtang and cutejack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest We are not rich but... Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 My mom don't leave the house regularly, due to old age, but when she does, she will tip those familiar toilet cleaners, roadside cleaners when she crossed path with them regardless of their race. Usually a minimum of $2 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Sometimes I tip, other times, I offer them a can of cold coke. Anything goes as long as I feel like it or there is a need. In Singapore, no pressure to do that though… angel_dust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Merp Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Normal deliveries, no. SG has no tipping culture that subsidizes cost for service platform and employers. Platforms and employers here are expected to pay out a competitive fee to keep their workforce, and they already charge us consumers for this. However, if there's some extra circumstance, like if its really late, there's alot of food, raining or whatever, I'll tip 10-20% just as a "thanks for putting up with me" to my delivery peep.

singalion Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 I rarely engage delivery guys. Like for FairPrice often they don't keep on their delivery dates, then my mood is not for giving tips. Many delivery guys ring the door, but are already gone, when you open. I would not tip through any apps because you don't know if the tips really land with the last mile service person.

Kentazmania Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 i would always tip the riders or drivers who come to my house and also offer them a drink as well. i believe the work they do is not easy riding or driving from point to point and the amount to pressure they face with out on the roads. braNpanty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncoin Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Yes. Where i live it is customary to give a tip. Usually about 15% but if it is deliveries made during bad weather, I will up to 25%. mate69 1 Quote Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentFit Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 (edited) I don't normally tip but I often offer drinks and sometimes food. I know this is much appreciated especially on warm days. There were rare occasions during the eating/drinking break that the delivery guy would awkwardly and politely request to use the bathroom too, which I would allow. I do tip on rainy days from time to time as I want to show appreciation for their bringing food to me despite the rain.
