Tipping Etiquette For Delivery During Coronavirus Lockdown
Those of us who can’t work from home are out on the frontlines providing services to keep our lives from being further interrupted.
With the risk to their own health at stake, it goes without saying that tipping should be the norm during this pandemic.
According to Heidi Carrico at Gig Workers Collective, if you’re ordering delivery, you should up the amount to 20% or better. Before the outbreak, 10-15% was the norm.
Peggy Newfield, president of the American School of Protocol, feels plumbers and electricians should get $10-15, but if it’s an emergency call, you might want to go with a little more.
Wherever possible, I hope you're tipping your delivery drivers very generously. #coronavirus #Covid_19

Does anyone know if #delivery drivers are receiving tips during #COVID19? If so, how are you doing it? I understand if you’re using @DoorDash or something similar with integrated tipping, but what if you’re calling to support #smallbusiness? #coronavirus
