I've never ordered food for delivery in 40+ years of adulthood. On the rare occasions we dine at a sit-down restaurant, I usually tip about 25%. For where and what we eat, the difference is less than $5 vs 20%. And we don't eat out often. In my younger barfly days, I usually tipped a buck a drink plus half of the freebies. That was back when mixed drinks were $3-$4, back in my early working days. But amazingly, after 28 years of working at places I couldn't stand, I found a job where I actually went in after half a day of jury duty. Hardly ever drank after that.
