What would you tip a food delivery person that was very late?

It was 20 minutes over the time they said it'll be. As it was, the promised time wasn't all that great, but it wasn't bad. It took the delivery person over an hour to get to my easy-to-find house, so that wasn't a problem. The food wasn't hot, but it wasn't cold.



My total was around $18.75 and I gave a $20 bill. I don't feel guilty and think it was rather generous of me! Thoughts? What would you do?



What are your thoughts of just ignoring the delivery when they arrive over an hour late? I've thought about it but that would leave me food-less for having waited so long.What would you tip a food delivery person that was very late?
What he got was more than enough. You should've called the place and complained....What would you tip a food delivery person that was very late?
too many factors in that equation.. i used to deliver pizza, and sometimes you had to take 3 or 4 orders at a time, to addresses scattered all over the place, which is time-consuming



or it could have been as simple as the person taking your order told you the wrong time



P.S. i never "expected" a tip from anybody.. depends on the customers, some people just never give a tip anyway, even if they got their food in 10 minutesWhat would you tip a food delivery person that was very late?
How do you know it was the fault of the delivery guy? How do you know it wasn't the fault of the people making your food? If there was already a long wait time there could have been a backup. Maybe there was another situation like an accident on the road that slowed down the delivery, or very heavy traffic?



Not saying your tip wasn't fine, but just saying there could have been reasons behind your food being late that was beyond their control. Reasons they might not have mentioned because then they would "just be making excuses".What would you tip a food delivery person that was very late?
well usually they wont charge you anything at all if they are late... but that depends on the company
about one third the normal tip.
