Tesco Delivery Men - do you tip them?

Just started getting shopping delivered and it was only once the guy had gone that I wondered if I should have tipped him? What do you do?

  • hi ya , No you dont tip them ive NEVER heard of this .

  • I don't tip my Tesco Delivery Men.

    I was going to phone them up once though as I had a REALLY nice bloke deliver my shopping. I wandered if they had an "employee of the month" thing or something. Never did though.

    The one I usually have is always horrible to me about the fact that he is parked illegaly (I live on a main road and the parking spaces...layby type things...are usually taken up). As if it's my fault?

    You dont have to but if you felt that he had gone out of his way to help you then maybe tip him, oh maybe its not a good idea as they may not be able to accept it as maybe it can be classed as a donation,
  • my hubby is a tesco delivery man and says "it's nice when we do get a tip, especially if it's a big order/long walk/up a lot of stairs/really heavy, but it's not a necessity, does make you remember the nice customers tho and you will always got the extra mile for them next time you see you have a delivery for them."

    i know he appreciates it when he is tipped but he knows it's not a 'service charge' and he is paid to deliver the shopping so he will whether or not the customer tips him.

    I've never thought to tip my delivery man either, but he did get a scone once when he arrived just as I had done some baking.

    I always give two tips:

    Never eat yellow snow and never buy a mermaid a pair of tights

    OMG I had never actually thought about tipping them. I have always got nice ones too and they always bring it uspstairs for me to the kitchen. I think I might put something aside when I have my big Christmas delivery as a big Thank you :)
