$500 in tips? Impressive. How much is the average tip for something like delivering pizzas?

Depends, a lot of people just round up the bill. If it's $22, a lot of people will give you $25 and you keep the change, for example. Now on the weekends, you can make a lot. I live in a military town, and young soldiers party more than college kids, and they tip great. Get 10 guys ordering pizzas and they all throw in a couple of bucks for the tip and it adds up fast. Best single tip I can remember was $30 for 5 pizzas.

If so, what is the difference?

I think it is the "RATHER" so since I am not a beast I would say no. Hope that clears this up

Used to work in a restaraunt, so I tip around 20 % unless the service really sucks.

Oh...you mean tipping MONEY??

Always tip at least 15% and more if the service was good. Tipping should be an assumed cost of eating in a restaurant.

should good service not be required if a tip for service is expected?
