EX DELIVERY DRIVER EDUCATION TIME.

1st off, Pizza delivery is the biggest SCAM ever as a job. They advertise that they hire at 12$ an hour (no shit) and when you get there, and after they have you fill out everything, and after the interview they will drop it on you that...

1. you get minimum wage. Period. They wholey pass the remainder on you to collect from your target deliveries. They expect the customer to tip, but they do nothing to encourage it. IN FACT, it's gotten so bad now that they help discourage it.

2. To discourage it, they came up with the BRILLIANT idea of "Delivery Charge" (WHICH THE DRIVER WILL NEVER GET) Think about that for a moment. Depending on area and company this varies from like 1.00 to 2.50 or so in my experience. This is a frivolous fee for no other reason than extracting free profits. It's not to cover anything that wasn't already covered in the cost of their pizza to begin with.

Totals that were sitting at 16.XX all of a sudden became 18.XX so those guys who just used to give you a 20$ and said "keep the change?" yeah, all of a sudden you went from decent tip to a 1.xx waste of time.

3. Car maitenence. Oil changes, gas prices, tire rotations and replacements? Who do you think pays for that? not the company, thats for sure. They give the driver a certain amount of money per run for milage. I used to get 20 cents a mile, then they figured that it was too much and switched to 85cents per run. At the time my average run was about 6 to 8 miles round trip and about 20 runs per night.

I was basically losing money on driving

all that figured in?

well yeah, it's a crappy picture, so I can yell "TIP THE DRIVER" until i'm blue in the face, but I have a better idea. Keep stiffing them until they get a better job, because seriously, it's what I did, and I wouldn't ever support that business model again. Not as an employee, or a customer. I'll drive my ass to the pizza place if I want any. End of story.
