   5 years ago in  Am I supposed to be tipping the food delivery drivers and bicylists? (UberEats, DoorDash, GrubHub, Postmates, etc.)

  I make the tip proportional to the distance driven, the difficulty of the drive, the difficulty of carrying the order to my door, the dollar amount of the order, and the number of people ordering. If it's a $20 order that was walked over one block and handed to me in a compact little box, then $2. If it was a $20 order that was driven 6 miles (12 miles round trip), to a difficult to find driveway, and 5 of us are paying for it, then $8. Dollar amount of the order doesn't change the difficulty of the trip nor the amount of gas used. 

  
  

  Also, I DON'T USE UBEREATS or any of those other services. I order directly from the restaurant. Why should an intermediary service get a cut when they don't do anything? It just diminishes pay for the restaurant and their workers, and makes it more likely that the restaurant will go out of business (which a lot of them are doing).
