Default Tipping the wing delivery guy

OK, we ordered 20 dollars worth of wings over the phone for delivery, we paid over the phone which included a 1.50 delivery fee. When the guy came we tipped him 3 bucks and he acted pissed and left.
he got 3 from us and 1.50 from the shop so he received 4.50 and we live 3 miles from the place. Am I being cheap or is he being greedy?

He probably doesn't get the delivery fee. However I always go pickup stuff myself so I don't know what is standard tipping for food delivery. Gas prices being what they are and most food delivery people probably get city MPG or even less do to short tripping, it would suck doing that kind of delivery work these days.

F that. I don't tip anybody, unless we actually go to a restaurant. Then if the service is good, they'll get a minimum $4, and it goes up from there. If the delivery guy wants more money, he's in the wrong business IMO. Not to sound like an ass, but I'm picky on how I spend my money.

I tip 3 bucks on a $20 order, but I always tip the delivery guy, they work as hard as the waitstaff at a restaurant and get screwed by the company usually (they are also exempt from minimum wage due to receiving tips)

You said wing guy and I thought you meant Wings for a car. Like a UPS guy. DUH!!I tip a waitress, a pizza person, and the hair cutting girl. I used to be a waitress and we didn't have any money. So we usually tip very well! If she sucks, I won't leave much. Troy is an Over tipper!
19SE92.....I've never seen a hot delivery person. Woman or man.
Our Mazzios guy has a nice GP! I tried a long time ago to get him on here. I tip him more cuz I like his car.
