Should I tip on delivery Chinese?

[Arms_Akimbo]

Considering Asian culture and all. In store, I don't, if it's takeout. But tipping a driver is customary, yeah?

I have always wondered this but was afraid to ask.

You have to be kidding...



YES

 

[acidboy]

are you singling out the chinese delivery because the guy's chinese? do you also tip the caucasian pizza guy? or the guy that delivers weed?

 

[rockket]

...really? If you don't live in China, then yes, you should tip. He/she is a delivery person like any other food delivery person, treat them as such.

yeah I know, but like $3 for gas? If I order for 4 people am I gonna tip $10?

 

[CYstyle]

why would you tip any different from any other kind of food? italian takeout? pizza?

 

[ALFAMALE]

I think the question is how much to tip the delivery guy. hmmm 3 bucks?

I usually do a minimum of $2 or 10%, whatever is more.

this.

and on the thread:

 

[CunningSmeagol]

Are Chinese known for being stingy with tips? If yes, then no, don't tip. How is this even hard?

 

[Reggs]

Thing is, they dont tip in china. The delivery guy is always some FOB who cant speak English anyway, and presumably a lot of their customers are also FOBs who dont tip anyway, or they are non-FOB Chinese Americans who are every bit as penny pinching, so they dont tip because they know they can get away with it with their FOB brethren.

I tip them, but it's still something to think about.

 

[acidboy]

^ true. but the guy's probably working for ****** pay like any other delivery guy. who cares if the stingy fob's don't bother giving tips?

are you living in china? no, i didn't think so. regardless of whether or not it is customary to do so in their culture, it is practically expected in ours. should go without saying really.
