A pizza delivery guy ended up going viral after he swore at a woman who'd ordered a $20 pizza for giving him a $5 tip.
Not leaving a tip for your delivery driver is an activity which seems rather fraught with danger these days, as you could find your food hurled onto the ground by someone who is literally not paid enough for this s**t.
When the job being financially viable lives or dies by people tipping then it's best to leave a tip, otherwise you could end up with nobody wanting to bring you your order.
Delivery drivers have shown how an order with no tip can be sitting around for hours before anyone takes it because nobody wants to be paid peanuts for their valuable time.

However, there are times when a customer does leave a tip but the delivery driver ends up furious anyway because they thought it wasn't enough.
One recent pizza delivery guy ended up going viral after a doorbell camera captured the moment he delivered a $20 pizza and was very unhappy to only be tipped $5.
Footage captured the guy delivering the pizza, albeit with a slight pause as the woman in the house got her dog under control, and telling her: "I just wanna say it's a nice house for a $5 tip."

Clearly the implication was that he didn't think the tip was enough, so while the woman said 'you're welcome' she got the response 'f**k you' in return.
The clip ended up going viral online with the caption 'how much should I be tipping for a $20 pie' and quite a lot of people thought that in this case $5 was plenty generous.
While it can be hard to know what the right and polite amount to tip is, a 25 percent tip is definitely quite a way along the generous end of things.

One person said they'd have 'told him to shove it up his a**', while another joked 'but just the tip' and a third said that they would have 'told him to give it back if he was unhappy with it'.
Others said that '$5 on a $20 pizza seems generous' as someone else said they'd have tipped $2 as they're 'not running a charity' and another said this was why they don't get food delivered any more as they'd rather pick it up themselves.
A former delivery driver also said getting $5 for handing over a £20 pizza was a 'solid a** tip'.
Plenty lamented the seemingly endless pile of extra charges which came with getting takeout delivered, saying they'd rather places 'pay their employees a living wage rather than forcing the customers to do it for them'.
