Leaving massive tips on pooled dinner orders?

I’d say about 20% of the time, my group juniors will do a pooled Grubhub order, but it always ends up being that we have $100+ left. I suggest we should leave it as a tip and make someone’s week, but some other analysts think we’ll get in trouble for that. I mean the bank gives us $35 day, and I feel like they don’t really care what we do with it so long as it follows the rules. Regardless, I’m usually outvoted, and the tip is only like $10. 
 

Curious on what others do in this situation 

 

Your group juniors sound like complete misers.

Also, if it's elected to not give a large tip, even though it's literally money that won't otherwise be used, a $10 tip for presumably a $150ish order is disgusting. Total bush league behavior.

Yeah the orders could be $200 or more. $10 is unacceptable. Surprised they would even deliver with a tip like that.

I'm sure yours does too, but ours has a written policy around tipping for Ubers, GrubHub, etc. I would check that out and then tip the max. Also, why do they care so much? Juniors I've talked to at my bank always tip the max when the company is paying for it.
