| I've searched and found that rounding is the norm for tipping (with the exception of hairdressers). However, I'm used to tipping delivery drivers where I'm from. If I'm to, ahem, order sushi deliver this evening, should I tip the driver? If so, how much?
Thanks in advance! | |

No tipping for delivery-drivers is indicated. But to round up, for instance from 19.10 to 20.-- etc is nice style. In case you live on the 4th or 5th floor of a house with a wooden staircase, a small tip might be indicated.

The waiter is not and depends on tips.
I am all against tipping here also since they make enough money and can easily depend on the wage they make. but every now and then I feel it is ok to tip.
And why is it bad to have tips as part of the income.
1. there not taxed
2. you get what you work for.
Simple as that

I generally do not give tips in restaurants. Except when I get an extraordinary service of some kind.

I think it is wrong to ALWAYS give a tip, as the tip is included in the price. If the service and everything however was good and pleasant why not give an "add-on" ? Common is to round up, for instance from 7.65 to 8.--. This is not regarded as a real "tip" but simply as a nice gesture.

The question is how you define "service". If your definition simply is the delivery-action, then no tip is indicated. If your definition however means a swift and excellent service, then a tip might be considered. I over the past five years had three such "deliveries" and twice the "service" was just mediocre (in one case even grumpy) and so ZERO tip, but in one case it was superb in every way and so 3 CHF were my tip.
