Tipping Etiquette
when you're getting food delivered to your house,
is it okay to give a big bill with tip and delivery charge included or do you have to break it down and tip the driver/delivery person specifically with change? or do they do all that change stuff down at the eatery?

If you're ordering food to your home, the tipping method depends on method of payment...
If you pay by credit card, you'll give your credit card info over the phone. The dollar or so charge for delivery is automatically added to the total. When the pizza guy arrives at the door, you'll have to sign the receipt (since you used a credit card) and on the line above your signature is where you write in the amount you'd like to tip. I usually do a $2 tip for like a $15 pizza, of course I round up and usually paying a bit more to even out the change, since most food delivery totals will be like $14.67 or some other random number!
If you pay by cash, you tell the person on the phone after ordering that you'll pay with cash. This time when the pizza guy comes, he'll say something like "Okay, this will be $15." This price includes the delivery fee.
If all you have is a 20 dollar bill, and you'd like to leave a 2$ tip in this instance, hand him the 20 dollar bill and ask for 3$ back. You wouldn't ever say, "can i have 3 dollars and twenty six cents back?" since he wont have the change and it's weird to be so exact!
$20 bill-$15 pizza-2$ tip = 3$
If you hand him the 20 dollar bill and don't ask for change back, he'll most likely ask you "do you need any change?" in case you forget or feel weird asking for your $3 back.
Or, of course have the correct amount including tip in cash ready to go so you're all set. Some delivery people won't have exact change!
