(11,916 posts)It's nice to know that it's appreciated, and I'm glad I can put a smile on their face for what
must be a really tough, sometimes scary, job.

But yes, on the rare times we have delivery of course we tip. Usually 2 or 3 bucks on a 10 to 15 dollar order. Drivers are paid better than wait staff but they still depend upon tips to make a living.

(34,136 posts)Unless you count the old time general store down the road that is mostly known now for their smoked sausage: http://www.bradleyscountrystore.com/ It's only a little over two miles away.
When we first bought this farm the closest grocery was over ten miles away, so it's getting more developed. But still no delivery service for fast food. I can get horse feed delivered, not people food!
