I tip at restraunts that provide me a service but if I have to get my own food like a buffet I tip but not has much as full service.  Delivaries I am not to sure what you mean.  I don't tip like mail person or ups. Waitress sometimes don't even make minum wage so they depend on thier tips to make up for it.  I like to leave about 20% of the bill or a dollar per person it depends on the service and how much money I have. One time I left a tip with a check because I didn't have any cash on me and I didn't know it and the waitress accepted it.

Yes I do tip for delievery like for Pizza that is a service being provided to me. Where I live we don't have pizza delivery we don't even have a pizza hut.  When I go out I do tip for delivary when I am staying at a motel I also tip the housekeepers who come  in and clean my room everyday that I am there, I do this because I feel this is a service provided to me and its something I would have to do for myself if there was no services for me.  It depends on each individual but I had relitives who worked as a waitress and housekeeper and I know they don't get paid much so I try to help out when I can, or I feel like I took advantage of that service.

Yes we tip here it is usually at least 15 %of what the bill is.  If that is only a few cents a for a drink at sonic i usally do 50 cents.

I always tip at restaurants and the delivery people too. It seems rude not to for some reason.

Yeah, I tip for delivery, though generally not as much as a nice restaurant.  I go by the 10-15% rule, though it depends on the quality of service.  I try to round it to a nice even number such as $15.00 or $15.50 as close to the percentage I feel is right...

I usually tip even for delivery of pizza, at first when they put the delivery charge on the bill I thought that was the tip that I was being forced to pay then I found out that it was a charge from the restaraunt so I started tipping again.  One restaraunt around here the delivery persons were rude enough to ask for a tip.  they would say "Do you want your change back?"  I think well I was going to give you a tip but not a 9 dollar one so yes give it all back.  Have a good day.  I don't like it when people ask for the tip or act like you owe it to them.  I used be a waitress and never treated people like that.  Even if I didn't get tipped they all received the best service I could give them.

In recent years, the tip is being included in the price.

Yes, I tip.  It's the way I was raised.  I worked in restaurants when I was younger.  I appreciated tips when I got them.  I tip for delivery also.  If the tip is included, then I usually don't.

It's been years since I ordered delivery to my house.  I will rarely get delivery to hotel rooms and if I do then yes I will tip for delivery.

yes, we always tip. my fiance's mother works
in restaurant management, so it almost be
unholy NOT to tip. although, i've tipped very
little for super bad service before (not
busy and not even a weekend? come on now)

as far as delivery goes, yes. normally 5 bucks.

I always tip for delivery and restaurant service. Buffet I don't tip as much, but you still get waited on, so I feel that they should receive something.

Alot of places charge for delivery. But you got to think about the poor soul delivering that barely makes min. wage usually. If I have it I do it.
