figured id bump this since i just saw a thread asking what the deal with tips was.


Update, I still work delivering pizza.

Basically, yes, its supposedly voluntary to tip, but at the same time, expected.

The reason being, turnover rate would be astronomical if no one ever tipped.

I've put over 20k miles on my car since that last post. My car is starting to act up, yet again.

Would you do that to your car for 5.15? I dont think you would. Its expected because if you dont tip, you will cause the company you are purchasing the delivery service from, to have to find people who will work for crap.

Thus you get a bunch of new drivers who dont know the difference between cedar ct and cedar st. Dont know the difference between west 3rd and east 3rd. Who forget your drinks because they dont know how to read to order tags, who take over an hour finding your place because they dont know where your street is because you live in that new development that isnt on the city map just yet.


These situations occur frequently.

Basically, Tipping is your way of saying "hey, I dont think you make enough money, here have a little bit of mine, since im the one directly responsible for you having to come out to my house"

Seriously, if I make 2$ a delievery, Im sitting good at what equates to be about 10$ an hour doing delivery work. I only work for maybe 4 hours a day, And its just enough to get by, and not enough to fix my car if something goes wrong, but thats what loans are for i guess.
