Quick! I just ordered about $56 of thai food, how much should I tip for delivery? The place is about 2.5 miles from me. Also, this is the 1st time I'm ordering from them. Maybe I should not tip at all since it's OK to not tip of the first time(according to some of you)?

20% of 56 is 11.20....
Just give him a $10 on top and that'll suffice.
And no tip the first time, every time. Don't listen to these broke boys.

Because neither tipped minimum wage or for that matter full minimum wage have kept pace with the rate of inflation.
The "a raise in minimum wage causes inflation" fallacy has been prevalent for years, but in actuality if minimum wage kept pace with inflation, minimum wage would be $10.75, not $7.25.
People are being grossly underpaid. That is why tip percentage has went up.

source? I provided sources for my arguments, where's yours? did you even click the links to factcheck my statement? or do you think I'm pulling it out of my ***.
Here's a pro-tip, I don't ever say anything I can't source.
your whole statement is bogus.
"doing okay"......
really? is that why the middle class is shrinking and people are finding it more & more difficult to even infiltrate the middle-class and stay there? Oh alright.
Some of ya'll need to stop BSing me. Just stop....

$25 buck ey? Is that why Hawaii is raising their minimum wage to $10.10 an hour? Similar to the $10.75 figure I provided earlier, HMMM I wonder why such a similar number.
Is it because the number you provided was from your ***?

your sources suck first of all. why? there are alot of adjustments to CPI that you might not know about. the way inflation has changed like 8 times over the years to suppress the real rate of inflation. why? so COLA (cost of living adjustment) remains unchanged for SSI and other stuff like food stamps.
im gonna go back to 1960s since thats the last decade where real money was used and in circulation.
min wage in 1960s is 1 dollar. this was before women went into the work force and the father provided for the family with a car and house just on ONE INCOME. how was this possible? the money was in silver.
1 dollar back then equaled to 1 oz of silver. the current price of silver is around 20 dollars an oz.. this is how i calculate inflation by using silver and gold as a metric.

andycrazn, of all people I would assume that you would be against tipping.
Tipping makes no economical sense whatsoever.

Quick! I just ordered about $56 of thai food, how much should I tip for delivery? The place is about 2.5 miles from me. Also, this is the 1st time I'm ordering from them. Maybe I should not tip at all since it's OK to not tip of the first time(according to some of you)?

I swear these servers are laughing all the way to the bank while the chef and cook are sweating their rear to make sure that your medium rare is indeed medium rare
