I get how the personal element can effect it.
I’ve worked a variety of crap paid jobs. Once at a bar where the people had more money than sense and I didn’t like getting tipped or harassed into taking part in games etc. Something I’d imagine women are more subjected to in certain environments and find even more uncomfortable.
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...
