So I got a job... - xLeviathan - 2009-12-04

Delivering pizzas for Domino's. I'm kinda iffy about it now, though. I've been reading about previous driver's experiences with the job and some of them have not been so pretty. Actually, I'm pretty sure NONE have.

Then I read this.
I gotta say, I hope no one here resembles some of the ignorant assholes from this forum.

Quote:"Only tip they get from me is a couple of quarters smeared with cat pomegranate from the litter box. I hate their filthy food, but the wife likes it for some reason."

"NOTHING!

With gas prices going down...that $2 delivery charge is enough"

"I don't tip them pomegranate. Their already getting paid, not to mention they also charge you a delivery fee that is included in your purchase. At least they have a job, they should tip me for job security!!"
When you order (if you do) pizza, do you tip the delivery driver? The delivery charge doesn't even go to the drivers, so that's just ignorance on the customer's part and pimento-ishness on Domino's part not to give that to the driver.

Third most likely to be murdered?!?! @_@ crazy. And i usually tip a few bucks. If the total is around 17 bucks or something, i just give a 20 and thats that.

Pizza prices though seem to be kinda high, even for pickup. A medium pizza with 2 toppings is upwards of 17 dollars for pickup. :c\

If you live near a college, you'll get tons of money in tips. Everyone at my college tips, including me, and dominos is the only place that delivers to our campus and they deliver till 1 AM.

I'm pretty sure all the gas they burn is taken as a business expense even though it isn't the businesses car. Could be wrong though.

Yeah, that is pretty crazy. Though I think after reading some of these, I totally understand that. I read this one story about a girl raped and beaten while delivering pizzas. Sheesh.

And one about a guy who delivered pizzas in a car that was also used to delivery dead bodies. Ew.

I'm pleased to see that a lot of people think it's rude to tip less than 2 or 3 dollars. Really, I drive a fuel inefficient car, not by my choice, and gas will probably take a good $50 out of my check anyway. You can write it off in taxes...if they believe you run up hundreds of kilos in one night.

@Takebacker: My delivery range includes a black university. I go to a different university in my area but it's not in my range. I wish it was, though.

I tip 10-20% depending on how the change breaks down and I'm paying cash. If it's online for Insomnia Cookies or something, I just go a straight 10%. I'm not so poor a college student I'm an pimento to the lifeblood of my weekend diet.

Good sir, that was an AWESOME link. XD!
I think that'd be amazing. I'm not sure whether I'd be embarrassed or happy. Or both. $15 tip, wow. Lol. Smile

HAH i loled.

I really don't tip as much as I should/want to, but I'm never the one handling the monies. It usually comes out to 3$ on a 20$ order at my house. We usually just go pick it up though.

My dad used to deliver pizzas for Dominoes. He said richer parts of town always tipped like crap. Places that you would think would have bad tippers usually tip quite nicely.

3$ is usually fine. If everybody tipped 3$...I don't think anyone could complain (very much).

I'd believe that. There's a bunch of stories here about rich people tipping like pomegranate.

ROTFLMAO

+1 to that guy. Hey, at least the caller was pretty nice about tipping the delivery guy for all the trouble he went through just to entertain them.

Just cause theyre rich doesnt mean they like to give poor people money :c| and thats why there is class envy.

When I was 14, I used to work in a diner which a middle-aged woman named Jessie used to visit rather frequently. She'd always order the same thing: one fried peanut butter and banana sandwich and one glass of white wine (I forget the exact label). She'd leave us $50 bills for tips.

It pains me how little some people understand of the food business.

I never tip the Pizza delivery guy anymore.

I once found spit on a pepperoni. Faggot ruined it for everyone else.

people like myself refuse to work in the food industry at that level. i myself never knew all of this, but whenever id order from anywhere, pizza/chinese, id always at least give 3~5 bucks as tip. one day i gave a guy 10 because of how quickly he got to my place; man on the phone said 45 minutes, guy was at my door in 15. i was impressed.

I order my pizza online with my mum's card, so I don't tip. I pay by card because there's no f'ucking money in my house, so don't stand there creating awkwardness waiting for your tip.

On the rare occurrence we pay by cash, we usually round it up. A large pizza at the dominoes near me is £13, so I pay £15.

Tipping the pizza man is not customary in my country. But it didn't stop three little punks tipping one with a deadly baseball bat to the head. Please be careful =[

Phail should come in here. In Korea, he almost got in a fight with the pizza guy because he wouldn't accept his tip.

WIenever I order pizza I give $3+

We paid by card last night, too. At the door where you sign the receipt, there's a line for a tip. Rolleyes. Well, then again, some places make you tip online BEFORE YOU ORDER. Which turns a lot of people off because you can then get pomegranate delivery after that. That I can understand.

@ RDal : Curious, what country are you from?

Lol @ the Korean guy not taking the tip. So figures.

Most places in England aren't that. Tips are completely up to the customer here. Some places do add a service charge, so we don't tip afterwards.
