How much should I tip the (Peapod) grocery delivery guy?
Order is ~$50, nothing heavy, single family house.

bombrman's got it right, 15% is the usual accepted amount to tip.

delivery, 10-15%
bags at airport, $1-2 per bag (if they still do that...)
restaurant, depends on the service
strippers, depends on the service :D

b0mbrman is correct, 7.50. Less for poor service, more for good (up to 20%).

If the delivery person is Canadian, no tip, slam the door in their face!!!:D

He's obviously a moron for driving a grocery delivery truck. Being a moron, he probably doesn't know the value of money. When he delivers your groceries tell him that he's 15 minutes late and he owes you $6.38 for his tardiness and your patience with his ineptitude. He will gladly hand over the money so that you don't call his employer and get him fired.

I always tip my Peapod guy big but then I shop twice per minth and he lugs EVERYTHING right in, includling heavy bags of cat litter and bottled water.

peapod?

I'd give him whatever I had available... being a poor college student, it will either be around 4.00 or a can of beer.

Why does a delivery guy who doesn't nothing but bring you stuff automatically get 15%? While waiters and waitresses have to work to get that amount?
