You know lots of us on Reddit were anti tip as we come from countries without the "pay your stuff under minimum wage and let customers top it up volunterily" culture. In the UK, I don't feel guilty about not giving a tip as I know the waiter, delivery driver, etc is being paid a living wage to begin with. I may leave a tip of I think the service or food is above anf beyond what's expected, but it's not for every meal. I've noticed a lot of food places have delivery costs now they didn't have before Covid so I'm less likely to top those drivers.
