By the end of this summer I’ll probably put the owner’s kids through college, but this site makes my dinner plans so much easier.  This post isn’t about that though, it’s about poor business decisions by restaurants on delivery.com.

Merchants who put the “tip now” option in the payment area and then allow me to verify my credit card by putting in the super-secret number on the back are costing their delivery men a solid $1-$1.50 on tip every order.  When you give me the 10%, 15% and 20% options and I don’t have a guy standing in front of me holding my food it’s a lot easier for me to just click 15% than it is to actually write down that tip amount.  It’s like the button absconds me from all responsibility for the tip that was added.

Good for me, bad for the delivery man.

And no, it’s not cheap to add 15% when there’s already a $1 delivery fee on top.
