Without starting a massive slanging match. Are Deliveroo etc any different from say Hermes in terms of rubbish employment terms etc. I can’t imagine people tipping your Hermes delivery?
Genuine question is there something that categorises it differently to you?

I tip all of our delivery guys at Christmas, but judging by the sometimes tearful reactions, I don't think it's particularly commonplace.

My logic at the time (I don't live in the UK anymore) was as @frankenbike said: I've spent £30 on a curry, a £1 coin makes no difference.
To be honest I never really thought about comparing the conditions of other delivery drivers, but yes, there's a difference, in the sense that my ebay purchases would be delivered at work, along with a lot of other parcels, whereas with food the rider comes to the second floor to my front door. It feels more personal somehow.
A few years ago I was for a while on a zero hour contract, where tips would have been welcome...
