Do you tip the pizza delivery guy?
 

I always have but now that they're charging $2 per delivery it makes me think I shouldn't have to.

What are your thoughts?

I don't want him spitting on my pizza.

If it's delivered in a reasonable amount of time and it's hot

Ok but you realize that those two things have almost nothing to do with the delivery driver right?

I tip $2 for one pizza, and then $1 for each additional pizza.

I always tip the pizza delivery guy. Usually $3.00 to $5.00, depending on overall price.

Why not just tip $3 all the time? Do you really think it's takes that much more effort to carry an additional pizza to pay another buck?

Exactly, they are out busting their ass... take care of them :)

that fee is going mostly into the owners pocket i think...tip ur local pizza guys...i usually give $2 to $3

I tip everyone-

I'm paying for the food unless if he throws at me,I usually give them 5 bucks

I tip everyone that brings food to me.

I quote Reserviour Dogs:
The table laughs. The WAITRESS comes over to the table.
She has the check, and a pot of coffee.

WAITRESS
Can I get anybody more
coffee.

JOE
No, we're gonna be hittin it.
I'll take care of the check.

She hands the bill to him.

WAITRESS
Here ya go. Please pay at the
register, if you wouldn't mind.

JOE
Sure thing.

WAITRESS
You guys have a wonderful day.

They all mutter equivalents. She exits and Joe stands up.

JOE
I'll take care of this, you guys
leave the tip.
(to Mr. White)
And when I come back, I want my
book back.

MR. WHITE
Sorry, it's my book now.

JOE
Blonde, shoot this piece of shit,
will ya?

Mr. Blonde shoots Mr. White with his finger. Mr White
acts shot. Joe exits.

NICE GUY EDDIE
Okay, everybody cough up green for
the little lady.

Everybody whips out a buck, and throws it on the table.
Everybody, that is, except Mr. White.

NICE GUY EDDIE
C'mon, throw in a buck.

MR. WHITE
Uh-uh. I don't tip.

NICE GUY EDDIE
Whaddaya mean you don't tip?

MR. WHITE
I don't believe in it.

NICE GUY EDDIE
You don't believe in tipping?

MR. PINK
(laughing)
I love this kid, he's a madman,
this guy.

MR. BLONDE
Do you have any idea what these
ladies make? They make shit.

MR. WHITE
Don't give me that. She don't
make enough money, she can quit.

Everybody laughs.

NICE GUY EDDIE
I don't even know a Jew who'd have
the balls to say that. So let's
get this straight. You never ever
tip?

MR. WHITE
I don't tip because society says I
gotta. I tip when somebody
deserves a tip. When somebody
really puts forth an effort, they
deserve a little something extra.
But this tipping automatically,
that shit's for the birds. As far
as I'm concerned, they're just
doin their job.

MR. BLUE
Our girl was nice.

MR. WHITE
Our girl was okay. She didn't do
anything special.

MR. BLONDE
What's something special, take ya
in the kitchen and suck your dick?

They all laugh.

NICE GUY EDDIE
I'd go over twelve percent for
that.

MR. WRITE
Look, I ordered coffee. Now we've
been here a long fuckin time, and
she's only filled my cup three
times. When I order coffee, I
want it filled six times.

MR. BLONDE
What if she's too busy?

MR. WHITE
The words "too busy" shouldn't be
in a waitress's vocabulary.

NICE GUY EDDIE
Excuse me, Mr. White, but the last
thing you need is another cup of
coffee.

They all laugh.

MR. WHITE
These ladies aren't starvin to
death. They make minimum wage.
When I worked for minimum wage, I
wasn't lucky enough to have a job
that society deemed tipworthy.

NICE GUY EDDIE
Ahh, now we're getting down to it.
It's not just that he's a cheap
bastard--

MR. ORANGE
--It is that too--

NICE GUY EDDIE
--It is that too. But it's also
he couldn't get a waiter job. You
talk like a pissed off dishwasher:
"Fuck those cunts and their
fucking tips."

MR. BLONDE
So you don't care that they're
counting on your tip to live?

Mr. White rubs two of his fingers together.

MR. WHITE
Do you know what this is? It's
the world's smallest violin,
playing just for the waitresses.

MR. BLONDE
You don't have any idea what
you're talking about. These
people bust their ass. This
is a hard job.

MR. WHITE
So's working at McDonald's, but
you don't feel the need to tip
them. They're servin ya food, you
should tip em. But no, society
says tip these guys over here, but
not those guys over there. That's
bullshit.

MR. ORANGE
They work harder than the kids at
McDonald's.

MR. WHITE
Oh yeah, I don't see them cleaning
fryers.

MR. BROWN
These people are taxed on the tips
they make. When you stiff 'em,
you cost them money.

MR. BLONDE
Waitressing is the number one
occupation for female non-college
graduates in this country. It's
the one jab basically any woman
can get, and make a living on.
The reason is because of tips.

MR. WHITE
Fuck all that.

They all laugh.

MR. WHITE
Hey, I'm very sorry that the
government taxes their tips.
That's fucked up. But that ain't
my fault. it would appear that
waitresses are just one of the
many groups the government fucks
in the ass on a regular basis.
You show me a paper says the
government shouldn't do that, I'll
sign it. Put it to a vote, I'll
vote for it. But what I won't do
is play ball. And this non-
college bullshit you're telling
me, I got two words for that:
"Learn to fuckin type." Cause if
you're expecting me to help out
with the rent, you're in for a big
fuckin surprise.

MR. ORANGE
He's convinced me. Give me my
dollar back.

Everybody laughs. Joe's comes back to the table.

JOE
Okay ramblers, let's get to
rambling. Wait a minute, who
didn't throw in?

MR. ORANGE
Mr. White.

JOE
(to Mr. Orange)
Mr. White?
(to Mr. White)
Why?

MR. ORANGE
He don't tip.

JOE
(to Mr. Orange)
He don't tip?
(to Mr. White)
You don't tip? Why?

MR. ORANGE
He don't believe in it.

JOE
(to Mr. Orange)
He don't believe in it?
(to Mr. White)
You don't believe in it?

MR. ORANGE
Nope.

JOE
(to Mr. Orange)
Shut up!
(to Mr. White)
Cough up the buck, ya cheap
bastard, I paid for your goddamn
breakfast.

You are the one that suggested Neno's to me, right?

I have to admit, when I was paying for dinner tonight I told my daughter I wasn't really sure why I was tipping the guy. He took my order and brought the food.

I never saw him again until it was time to pay.

I don't believe in it :1orglaugh

Yes, I think I did. How did that work out for you?

lame excuse, the only way they can do that is if they pre-spit on it before delivering it, because of not knowing if they are getting a tip or not, and if they do it infront of you, not only are they getting fired, but your pizza delivery service will have a hella lawsuit on their hands.. :2 cents:

always tip the delivery guy... he's providing you with a service that allows you to have your food with out having to leave the house to get it, or to fix it yourself

i tip atleast 5 dollars each time. They do not make much money and they are looking foward to tips I got no problem throwing in a few extra bucks.

3-4 bucks if the weather is decent, 5-6 bucks if it's raining or snowing like a bitch.

You owe me $20 . . . that stuff is crap.

I tried them once with a sandwich, it sucked. Decided to give them another chance last night with their lasagna . . . .I am not sure how they stay in business.

Lame excuse? For tipping? If they come to your house often enough they know if they are getting tipped or not. I want them to know they are getting tipped so they get there quickly and sans spittle.

When you move out of your mom's house you will understand.

I am usually drunk when I order pizza and I end up giving them a 10 dollar tip. I tend to do this for anyone that is bringing me booze or food.

living in my moms house is much better then the old folks home. Do they know you're using their internet to look at porn and act important on the internet?

:1orglaugh:helpme:1orglaugh

$5.00 tip every time.

From your link:

This is the ugly side of tipping and is a fucking disgrace. How you Americans get taken in by it is beyond me. It's the employers responsibility to pay their employees, not the customer. That is why they are employers, because they employ people.

How do you think they can afford to sell $10 pizzas? Minimum wage.

always.. I don't want any special sauce

yeah, always :)

10% as per standard.

The $2 (or any delivery charge) is to make sure the car maintenance (including fuel, etc) costs are met.

The tip is for their own income.

15%+ if they do special favors for you like pick up a pack of smokes en route (from back in the day when I used to smoke) or run you back some item you forgot to ask for.

Had pizza delivered tonigh (yeah, not healthy bud damn good - especially the hot wings!) and tipped the guy $5 like usual.

I delivered pizza when I first got out of high school and I know how much it sucks, so yea, ALWAYS!

oh puh-leeze - it's a tough job? it's an easy fucking job and pays what it should pay - minimum wage whatever your state/province decides is a fair minimum wage. people who don't want to be doing those jobs past college should bust their ass in school or learn how to do something that not any moron with a drivers license can do.

tipping shouldn't be part of the pizza delivery biz - let the pizza store owner pay them, raise their prices on their pizza or charge per delivery - no way does a pizza delivery guy deserve a thing if you are already explicitly being charge for delivery.

Always, at least a buck or two a pizza.

After working through school delivering pizzas, it's the least I can do. The regular pay is crap, and you never get a raise, because 'you already get tips man, that's your raise'.

And as a side note, the drivers do NOT get any of the money from the delivery charge. At least none of the places I ever worked gave out any of that. And of course we did remember the regular customers, and who tipped and who always stiffed.

word, just like waiter/waitresses, they do nothing but pick up your food and deliver it to you, woopidy do, you guys can all pay me $5 to pick up a box, set down in my car, and work the gas/break for a few mins and give you your food, i won't mind

yeah i always tip them... :)

Always tip a few bucks

depends... Pizza is so fucking expencive in norway

yes and i eat dominoes exclusively :pimp

http://www.boobieblog.com/img/pizza3.jpg

sometimes i order 10 a day ;)

ditto :pimp

Some times yes and some times not,.
Its depend on my mood! but if that girl who will deliver for my pizza YES i willgive her a very big tip!

100 pesos ($2) and around here (Philippines) I'm being extremely generous.

pizza is expensive in norway? why would that be?

pizza is cheap - i wonder what the actual cost is of say a large Domino's pizza - 2-3 bucks would be my guess.

I always tip $5 if the bill is over $20

my food is always hot and fresh and the driver always has "extra" sauces if I want them.

call it food karma.. be nice, eat nice.


~Ray

yes I do, not every time though

This is my concern.

I ALWAYS tipped drivers in the past, but now dominoes is charging $2 per delivery.
So tonight the guy shows up with the pizza, and it's $18.35, so my wife gives him $20.35 and he goes "thanks" and starts to take off.
My wife says "no I need my change, you get the $2 per delivery charge already " and he says "oh, we don't get that" and she says "if it doesn't go to you then what's it for?" he says "oh it goes to cover the cost of the ingredients"

WTF? :helpme


There are lots of services that in the past I was more than happy to tip for, but now they're charging pizza delivery fees, and the airlines are charging $2 per bag to use the skycaps, why should I have to kick in more $$ over and above those charges...if I went to pick up my own pizza or checked my own bags I wouldn't be charged those fees, why should I pay those fees and then more on top of that?
