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.
