I'm not American and I'll sometimes tip delivery drivers, but it's mostly out of some oddly placed guilt that I have to.
Most of the time I'm getting a delivery I don't have cash on me, in fact I rarely if ever had cash on me any more it''s just not needed.
People don't understand that, most of the time I don't have money to tip, they don't accept tips online either.
I usually order when I'm working night shifts to work, or when I can't physically go outside like when I injured my foot for a week and the idea I'd have to pay a tip each time where all that money could amount to days worth of meals themselves doesn't sit well with me.
Also fuck you, I've got my own money/life problems, delivery drivers and restaurant staff aren't exclusive to these problems.
I've helped pay for a lot of my dads medical equipment and stuff at home, I'll pay for food, sometimes shopping etc, I help look after him a bit with my sibling, I'm doing what I can. We've all got our reasons and it's not as simple as being selfish, but people want to boil it down to simplicities.
I've been on the receiving end of tips rarely , I always say it's not necessary but they basically say "well I'm leaving that on the table so either you take it or someone else will :)". So I shared it with my coworkers, get them coffees, lunch or something. That was my last job.
