Sorry if this has already been covered but if it has I can't find it.

What do we think about tipping delivery drivers? I've been having my supermarket shop delivered for some time and it never occurred to me to tip, but I've recently started having takeaways delivered rather than collecting them myself, and I usually pay the driver. If I've got the right money it's fine, but if there should be change do I wait while they rummage in their pockets or do I airily say, "Keep the change"? It's not the driver who cooked it and presumably they're being paid by the restaurant who are the ones who deserve any tips going, and you wouldn't tip for a takeaway anyway, would you?

So to tip or not to tip? Supermarket drivers are probably on minimum wage or not far above it and save me so much effort. What's the answer?

Welshwife, your relative should be getting 15 hours free nursery or preschool care a week.
This is for all children over 3 but I think children with special needs may get it from age 2.
They should certainly look into it.
