Delivery Guys: What the fuck do they WANT?

Back in the 1980's, my mom used to give Upper West Side delivery guys a dollar and they would shit themselves with happiness.
I learned the hard way about delivery guy inflation when I came home from college in 1993: I gave a guy from Empire Szechwan a dollar and had him curse me in Cantonese.
At that point even my mom told me, oh no no, you have to give 3 dollars these days.
Well, what about in 2009? I usually give FOUR dollars, even though it seems outlandish to me. The guys usually act really happy with that. The other night, I only had 3 bucks - and the guy was pissed. I guess 4 is the magic number?
I once saw some blog rant where a guy was saying IT'S THE SAME as being a waitress - you should be tipping 20%! Get the fuck outta here with that shit - does anyone actually do that?
Just tell me what to do so I don't fuck it up and create an even worse name for the NCAA-finalist Park Slope Jews.
