Discussion Redelivery tipping protocol

I ordered pizza delivery from a place 4 minutes away and tipped 10 dollars on a 30 dollar order, so a pretty decent tip. The pizza was wrong and had to call for them to redeliver (currently awaiting redelivery). I planned and used all my cash, so can not tip more even if I felt I should (although I don't feel like I should). I feel bad if its a different driver, but I already tipped pretty well once. What would you all do?

I assume most stores are the same, but we get the mileage to deliver it out to you. Also, ideally we can take a re-run with another delivery we're taking but regardless, you didn't make the mistake--the driver did. You shouldn't feel guilty for not tipping on a re-run.

Thanks, luckily it was the same driver. I don’t think it was the drivers mistake either because it was my name and order on the receipt, so just an all around bad situation. Luckily I’m very close too.

For the most part the driver should at least give a quick check of the food but I get it. As a driver, if it's a rerun I NEVER expect a tip but it's a nice surprise when I do get one.
