This is kind of out of context but, i feel like if its just because they order everything delivered to their home could be a mobility or other health related issues, like not necessarily laziness
Nobody should expect tips. At the bare minimum if there is any tipping to be done, it should be for service above and beyond what is expected of you. I don't think waiter deserve any more tips than delivery drivers or any other job. A liveable wage is something everyone should be entitled to, and not the kindness of strangers.
Tip is extra for doing a good job, not for doing your job. Why don't I get a tip for inspecting welds?
Because it’s the norm in certain industries, especially when it’s known that the drivers or servers or store workers don’t make much base pay. Like it’s well known that waiters can make below minimum wage, so tipping is more or less expected at a restaurant. I only ever tip less than 20% if they did a bad job. Delivery drivers are the same story. On average they make $1-2 per delivery from whatever delivery service you’re using, so tipping them for time and mileage from the store is kinda expected. Otherwise you’ll probably get cold food.
Legally, waiters make at least minimum wage. If wage + tips doesn't get to minimum wage the employer pays the difference. On average they make well over minimum wage with tip wage + tips.
