You know, now that I think about it, I always toss the pizza boy/girl a dollar. Maybe I should be consistent and add a dollar to my $8.75 take out order.
Then again, I always feel like the recipient of the $1.00 tip is thinking to him/herself, "Gee, thanks, Mr. Trump...a WHOLE dollar...now I can afford that Ferrari I've always wanted."

Agreed! Someone takes the time to put your order together, correctly you hope. I don't tip as much as I tip a server, but I give them a couple of bucks for the time they spent on my order.
10 % is reasonable........of course I feel that the restaurant business should be responsible for paying their staff accordingly
servers and bartenders work off tips......and the rest of the crew should be paid a liveable hourly wage.
Just my 2 cents on that.

See, I think pizza delivery is a whole other ballgame. I tip servers 20 percent just to bring my plate from the kitchen to the table. I'm damn sure going to tip more if someone GETS IN THEIR CAR and DRIVES my food to wherever I am. And I usually will do a minimum 5 dollar tip if the meal is less than 25 bucks. And when I order food and someone RUNS it to me, on foot, in the hot Florida sun, I'll usually start tipping at 30 percent with that 5 dollar minimum.

Ditto. 10-15% for take-out.

Thank you for saying that! I did pizza delivery for a bit in college, and there were always folks that didn't tip. Or, I'd get people who asked "Am I supposed to tip you?"
I wanted to ask "Do you tip a waitress? Because I am a waitress who not only brought food from the kitchen to your table, I brought it to your FUCKING house."
I was generally a bit nicer than that, though.

I don't know if it's true everywhere, but at least around here pizza delivery drivers get paid a helluva lot better hourly than waitresses, like 2 to 3 times more, so the tipping disparity isn't what it appears on the surface. Plus, the waitress isn't getting tipped just for putting the food on your table, but for taking your order, making sure you get everything you want and need, and that your dining experience is pleasant. The driver ain't responsible for all that. That said, I usually tip drivers 3-5 bucks.

Yea, I used to just do the same tip for all drivers, but I realized that I don't tip servers because I know they're getting screwed in their wages. I tip because I appreciate the service. And I appreciate the service from pizza delivery guys a lot more than waitresses.

Heh. By former professional server, I mean that was my only source of income...as in no student loans.

As a former professional server, I was always pleasantly surprised to get any sort of tip for a take-out order. I would never expect anything. But sure, 10% would have been nice.
