    At least in my part of Europe, tips are not required and often not expected (because minimum wage doesn’t have the strange exception tipped employees do in the US), but if you actually appreciate the service given then it’s the norm to give a small amount as a tip.

    For deliveries I normally give cash straight to the driver if it comes in a reasonable time frame, I certainly would never preload a tip using the payment portal

      Also from country where tips aren’t expected.

      Did preload a tip once because I felt guilty.

      Ended up having the driver yell at me to come get the food in the lobby and that I was wasting his time when I was sick with covid and even though I specifically ordered for door delivery.

      On top of that the food was cold and soggy. So I went straight to customer service and removed that tip.

      If I have cash I will tip if they do a good job otherwise. No.
