“Do you need change?”

I had a slightly more tricky problem than Gaurav. The pizza guys in the US ask “Do you need change?” The bill was 11 dollars and I had paid 15. Four dollars looks like too much for a tip even by American standards. I am guessing that I was actually supposed to tell him what he can keep. But I couldn’t be sure, so I said “No”. What should I have done?

  1. In these cases the idea is to not to let the guy ask you that. Pay it by credit card and then its up to you put the tip down. So you can put down whatever you want. Thats what I do , I never pay a delivery guy by cash.

  2. You can simply tell him the tip you want to give and ask him to give back the remaining. That’s perfectly normal.

  3. I know tipping sucks but as a humble pizza delivery guy in my youth I enjoy the feeling I get when I got tipped. Vacuous though the gesture may be I enjoy the feeling I get when tipped. So please tip
