When the Delivery Boy Makes a Second Trip......

....Does he get a second tip?

Anyone that lives in Manhattan has a drawer in their kitchen that's filled with take out menus of every conceivable type of food. Most of us order in more than we cook, its just part of the charm of living here. We can get anything we want to eat delivered right to our door at any time of the day or night.

But, what happens when the restaurant forgets part of your order and the delivery boy needs to make a second trip to your door. Do you tip him a second time? It wasn't his fault that there was something left out of the bag and he did need to get back on his rickety bike and risk his life (and the life of others, have you seen these guys ride?) to come back to your apartment.

My opinion is...and I hope I am in the majority....that yes, you give the kid a couple of bucks, smile and say thank you. I think in the future your food will arrive at your door a bit faster from your new friend.
