I was originally thinking about delivery (isn’t it basically the same effort to deliver 1 or 2 pizzas?). Shouldn’t delivery tipping be based on distance/effort rather than cost of food?
The same goes for restaurants, of course. If I go with a friend and we have the same meal but I have three glasses of wine, and she has three cokes, I am expected to tip more, but the server’s effort is the same for each of us.
Was it always like this or did it change with time?
Note: I’m only trying to understand this aspect of Us tipping culture. I know that tipping isn’t the norm everywhere.

Tipping culture is stupid, folks will say you need to tip on cost or effort depending on which gets them more money. Deliver McD’s tip for distance, but deliver steak and lobster and suddenly it should be percentage. I like how they are doing at the reopened Casa Bonita, pay the servers well and eliminate tips.
