We're the same, DH works for tips in the pizza business. We once had this great waiter we really liked at O'Charleys, enough that we requested him if he was on. We tipped exceptionally well. One night DH had a delivery to that waiter at home, and got stiffed. It left us bitter.
Our view is that if we can't afford a great tip, we don't go out to eat or order delivery. If we don't want to pay delivery fee & tip, we order carryout. We don't always have service that allows us a great tip (especially in the last couple of years, ugh), but we've always budgeted for it.
