One of the reasons that we are on a first-name basis with our pizza delivery guy is that we (staff) DO tip. Overtip a lot of the time, to make up for the patients who don't. Our guy doesn't mind that the patients don't tip really big ... he knows what our hospital is about, and that most of our clients don't have a lot of bucks to spare when they are treating themselves to a dinner not served on a plastic tray. We actually took a restaurant off our approved list because the delivery guys got hostile over low tips ... despite their compulsory $3 (yeah, three bucks) delivery fee.
