From Huff Po: Next time you hand the delivery guy a less than desirable tip, remember that the Internet can and will be used against you.Reddit user jfastman took to the site on Tuesday to describe and display what has to be one of the cheapest tips of all time: $10 for a whopping $1,453.95 bill. That's not even a 1 percent tip! The tip, which the Reddit user says his friend received in exchange for 85 pizzas, can be seen if you just scroll down a bit.
So how much should you tip the pizza delivery guy? Mike Lynn, associate professor of consumer behavior at the Cornell Hotel School, suggested to CNNMoney that pizza delivery workers should be tipped a minimum of $2 per pizza. According to this math, the delivery worker in question should have gotten a $170 tip -- again, at a minimum.

Yeah, that's one shitty tip...I wonder if they had to rent out a U-Haul to deliver that many friggin pizzas.
If they were spending that much, they could have at LEAST shelled out a crappy 5% tip...yeah that's still really low...but that's $72 as opposed to $10.

Those silly Huffers, won't they ever learn to spot a photoshop? Zoom out a little, and it's clear that the tip and total sections were shopped in. Also, why is it signed "phone?"

This is helpful, actually. I've always struggled with how much to tip a pizza delivery person.

I still don't get why people think they earn a tip for doing their job?

D, in the US these people get paid less than minimum wage and it's expected they'll make the rest up in tips. I think that's a stupid system myself but until someone changes it I'll continue to tip 20%.

D what most people who don't live in a tipping culture realise is. We pay our servers directly.
In other countrys they make a set wage food costs more and a 25% service charge is tacked on. It is listed or unlisted depending on country.
In USA our servers get the service charge directly based on performance (supposedly). The idea behind it is you judge on how well your server did and tip them.
We have some people who take advantage of the system and decide 0 every time. Theese are the people who ruin the system. Theese are the ones who screw it up.
I find it annoying that we have to regulate every nuance as a culture to keep people playing fairly with each other.
