I was a pizza delivery guy before apps like Seamless existed, and an average tip was around $2.75 (most people tipped $2 - $3), and a good single tip was $5+. What are those numbers like these days?

hmm accounting inflation? aha

the apps work similarly to how you'd be paid to deliver. i'm pretty sure pizza delivery drivers are paid on the hour + tips. we're paid on travel/distance + tips.

I tip decent but my % is calculated as low because Uber bases on pre discount total + tax + fee, but I use a lot of discounts, it's the only time I can afford to order. Like, I will get $40 of food for less than $20, and tip $4. Wondering what y'all think of that?

that's a decent tip imo. but always consider whether it's busy or not. because if it's busy you'll likely have to tip a bit more for reassurance. or click priority on dd or uber. just subtract priority from the total tip because all they do is give it to us to it delivered quicker.—i assume

again, best and fastest way to get your food is to tip higher or make a trip to the path station / light rail. no shame in picking up your own food!!
