5. You tipped well, more than adequate.

The other night I ordered a couple of pizzas. I put $3 and some change on my card. I looked at the price of the order and saw that they were already charging me $3.50 for the delivery service charge, so I think that was plenty. I usually just give them a five for the tip, but if they're going to put a service charge on there, I'm going to factor that into the tip. $6-7 is a good tip for two pizzas from two miles away.
