I ask this question because I am a pizza delivery guy and lately the tips have been terrible. It's a little frustrating because the job itself pays like crap and you count on those tips.
I always feel pretty good at the end of my shift if I averaged $2.00 per delivery. Lately, I have been averaging around 0.90-1.25 per delivery which doesn't pay the bills. lol

I used to deliver for Jimmy Johns. I made about 1.50-3.50 every delivery, even from 6 dollar orders. Sounds like you need to transfer to a richer area of whatever city you're in. It wasn't uncommon for me to make about $10.00 an hour in tips, plus base pay of minimum wage whether I'm in the store or not.
I pay it forward, you have to tip well. HAVE TO.

I only didn't tip the guy much once and it was because I didn't have as much money in my bank as I had thought... I made up for it the next time by tipping the guy like 10 bucks...

Pizza is expensive here, so it is not really something we do, though every single company (except Dommino's) claim that they don't have change, even though they ask you how much are you paying with, so they basically get a small tip "the hard way".

I normally pick up the pizza, but when I do get delivery I always tip.

Always. I have compassion for most people who have to deal in customer service everyday. Plus, it's not uncommon for a delivery guy to get shafted, or strait up robbed in many parts of the town I live in.

Yeah always. A pie from where I order from is $11 so I usually just give the guy $15. I always like to give $4-6 tip.

Definitely. Usually between $2-$3, but ultimately it depends on the price of the order, even though that doesn't make much of a difference in terms of delivery.
I usually just pick up, though, to avoid the extra charges. Most places throw in a $2-$3 delivery charge on top of the tip, so I figure it's an extra $4-$6 just to have it delivered, and thats with a pretty low tip. It's much cheaper for me to pick it up myself.
