Don't be that person, tip generously!

I read anecdotal accounts on Twitter yesterday of customers hiding behind contactless delivery to not tip delivery people. According to these stories, it's true even of regular customers who'd tipped in the past.
This should go without saying, but apparently it needs to be said. If you don't tip delivery people, who are risking their lives so you can preserve yours staying inside, for not very much money, you are, to put it succinctly, a Very. Bad. Person. It's also worth reminding people that in most places (Seattle is an exception), the legal minimum wage is lower for tipped workers, as the tips are assumed. Making customers subsidize businesses' costs is pernicious, but until political consensus shifts away from this practice, tip. Tip as generously as you are able.
