About the only places that deliver here are pizza places.
Rain: no problem.
Snow: Only if we’ve had a chance to clear off the driveway and front steps - I don’t want some poor fellow slipping and killing himself (or slipping, not killing himself, and suing us either). But if I did, you betcha I’d tip very well!
They get shot, robbed, etc.
If I get delivery during really bad weather (California, buckets of rain) I’ll double tip. Never had to think about snow storms though. Even though I only order delivery a couple times a year, I always get the same delivery people who remember me and come promptly.
Echoing the “tip well” sentiment. I worked delivery in a brutal Chicago winter (which one isn’t?) and 9 times out of 10, the customers to whom I was delivering food late at night were kind and considerate. That statistically significant 10th customer made me want to pack it in and go home (after a healthy sob, of course).
Whenever I order delivery, I tip generously, the same or more that you’d tip waitstaff at a restaurant. When the weather’s rough and a delivery order is necessary, the tip increases.
Unless it’s weather that I would not be willing to go out in myself, I’ll order delivery. If it does get to be too bad, I’ll make myself a sandwich or eat a banana. And if there is snow or ice on the steps, I’ll clear it off. I also tip higher according to how bad the weather is. A “keep the change” is pretty common to hear from me.
Rain/snow/cold - If I call for delivery because it’s to nasty or annoying for me to want to drive, the tip gets a big boost.
