Osee  +  473933 Thu, 07 Feb 08 04:10 PM I ordered a pizza delivery with a can of mug root beer yesterday. I had expected the beer tasted like a wine or like those regular beers. But it did not. It tasted just like pepsi or cola. Any comment about this? BTW, if you order a pizza at about $23 including a  .delivery fee, then how much you would like to tip the delivery guy? Thanks a lot.

It tasted just like pepsi or cola. Any comment about this? Root beer is not really beer. It has a different taste, as you know, and it's not alcoholic. BTW, if you order a pizza at about $23 including a  .delivery fee, then how much you would like to tip the delivery guy? Most people probably tip at least 15 %, I think, rounded up rather than down.

	Osee  +  473971 Thu, 07 Feb 08 05:48 PM 15% and round-up is a general rule? How about the following situations: 1) $600 funiture with free delivery? 2) $600 funiture with a delivery charge? For each of these cases, how to tip the delivery guy? Thanks a lot.  Clive wrote: Hi, I ordered a pizza delivery with a can of mug root beer yesterday.

	Grammar Geek  +  474172 Fri, 08 Feb 08 05:01 AM I usually give a delivery guy who helped carry it in and get it in place about $20. This would be for a heavey sofa brough upstairs, or a refrigerator or washer dryer. If there are many things (like an entire moving truck) then more. On the other hand, if they are surly and not helpful, I won't tip at all. Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,506 Barbara, who answers in American English.

	Osee  +  474415 Fri, 08 Feb 08 01:52 PM I still feel strange. Since it is not actually a beer, why does it put "beer" in its name?  Yankee wrote:  Osee wrote: I ordered a pizza delivery with a can of mug root beer yesterday.

	Spides  +  474469 Fri, 08 Feb 08 05:14 PM I think originally root beer was a homemade product that used a fermentation process in the same way that beer and ale do.  The commercially made root beer, however, is nothing like the homemade beverage and has no alcoholic content, although the homemade brew probably does contain a small amount.  There is another popular soft drink, again with no alcoholic content, called ginger ale (or sometimes ginger beer).
