How much are you supposed to tip a floral delivery agent? What if you don't even want the flowers?

I recently had this happen to me. I was being stalked and I did not want to accept flowers from some creepy weirdo. But I appreciate customer service and I did not think it was fair for the delivery guy not to be tipped.. and yet I wasn't sure whether to tip at all? Help..

Since you did not request the service, you are not required to tip. The actual patron tips. And it is perfectly acceptable to refuse delivery of the flowers, it will hopefully get the message across a lot quicker.
Reply:you tip 10% and ask him to return them as refused. think of the 10% as a message service
Reply:I would think in this situation, a tip would not be expected. If it is a service you had specifically asked for, then a tip may be appropriate. Since you were not the one ordering the flowers any tip should be the responsibility of the ordering party.





Just FYI- I've never tipped a flower delivery person, UPS driver, etc.
Reply:giving a tip is your choice...


they are paid to deliver flowers anyways...
Reply:Good services today are very much taken for granted. Tipping the flower guy is alright. $1 or 2 Dollars is fair and not enough people do it. I also tip my grocery bagger and anyone else that provides excellent service for me. Service jobs in general get paid miserable but they are SO important to have.


I give my mailman $10 for xmas





I allways prefer giving someone in the service industry before handing it to some bum on the street
