I never have cash on me.

I tip via online payment.

I do not tip the Nandos delivery person. The Nandos website&app doesn't allow you to add a tip.

They charge R30 for delivery.

At least Mr Delivery only charges R15 for delivery.

Delivery extreme charges R50 delivery fee.
 
Neither of them even delivers in my area which is ridiculous. Surrounded by pretty much every restaurant you can think of just minutes from my house incl 4 kfc's, Nando's, McD's, Burger King, Ocean Basket, Debonairs, Steers, Spur, Dros, Kung Fu Kitchen, Wimpy, Romans, Pizza Perfect, Dominos etc etc and about 5 million Italian/Portuguese/Indian/Thai/Chinese restaurants (some even award winning restaurants), the Kollonade and other shopping centers etc but apparently we're out of range according to both mr d and uber eats. Out of range of what?

Been trying for years to get mr d to deliver here but no luck. So no tips from me :p
 
Uber Eats: R5 - R10
Mr D Food: R5 - R10
Petrol Attendants - R5 - R10
Waiters / Waitresses: 5-10% of my bill
Parking Attendants: R5 max

Uber Eats: not available in my area
Mr D Food: 10%
Petrol Attendants - usually R20 (add more if I ask for extra checks like tyre pressure or water/oil, or if it's raining)
Waiters / Waitresses: usually 15%, less if service is bad
Parking Attendants: R5, and only if they help with finding parking or helping me get out of a tough parking spot

Why would you tip a petrol attendant? He's paid to be there, a waiter on the other hand is more then likely living off of commission and tips. The "basic" salary that's supposed to be paid to waiters still doesn't get paid to them as most restaurants find loopholes.
Back on OT I wouldn't tip them, if the delivery is offered by the place I'm ordering from and it was free then yes, but those two charge me quite a lot for the luxury of delivering my food.
 
I am cheap. Cheap as a chappies bubblegum.
I don’t tip mr D and uber eats.


Same applies to car guards/ parking attendants.

@rpm : perhaps another question should be “ how much do estimate you spend on tips every month?”
 
I tip them 5%

To elaborate a bit, I tip MR Deliver 5% , I think this is fair as MR D makes margins not only on the food they sell you (its more expensive than what you pay at the resturant) but also on the delivering fee.

I give the driver on MR D the full 20% . Hes earns in a night what I do in an hour and so I feel I can afford to give him the maximum the app allows for.

Also I cant do that job, Ide go back to jail the first smart mouth kid that orders something and thinks hes funny... Same reason I tip waiters well.

Car guards and petrol guys, I keep a few tenners in the ashtray for them. They doing a job. Not begging or getting in my way in the traffic. They trying. And to me that deserves something, even as little as R10.

To me , if you are able to order take out , you can afford to make that drivers life that little bit more bearable. They always in clapped out cars or on bikes held together with wire. Does that 70 or 80 rand really mean that much to you? It probably means a HELL of a lot more to them.

You get what you give. one day if you found yourself in that position youde expect generosity. So dont be a douchebag.
 
On the odd occasion I use them I don't tip, unless delivery was free. They should rather charge more for delivery instead of expecting tips. WTH would I pay again if I already paid for delivery? Petrol attendants I don't normally tip except by my local engen, they are always fast and always does extra, the others garages around here are staffed by lazy people that are slow and does the minimum, so F'em.

Waiters I always tip about 20%+, 10% always feel way too low for all that effort of them standing on their feet the whole time and dealing with arseholes most of the time.
 
Uber eats: R5 - R10 depending on how much we have at the time and how much we order.
Mr. Delivery - We hardly ever use them, when we did the drivers had terrible service asking us for tips.

Not answering for him, just myself. AND GET OUT OF MY COMFY BLANKETS IN THIS COLD?! HELL NAWW.

I voted yes on the poll, but I've only used them twice due to promotions they offered, that didn't even f'en work on their website/app. I don't like using services that charge me a delivery fee, this is the 21st century, most deliveries are free(aka worked into the actual cost of the product).
 
I tip them unless they seriously screw up.
 
Always tip unless service is ****. 10% or so.
