Delivery Guy Gets 10 Dollar Tip for 85 Pizzas

[Maximilian]

He was lucky to get $10, i would have given nothing.

Probably are just as retarded to not understand the concept of why tipping is commonplace in the first place, plus probably have zero knowledge in how the concept of tipped positions for employees help keep the cost of goods and services down that you choose to participate in.

Great thing about it all is that its up to you one wether to tip or not.

Bet you would also like the idea of having the price of all meals / services that revolve around tipped positions raise in price in leu of having a choice to tip, thus making it cost much more for you in the long run and you no longer have have a choice.

The only reason tipping is commonplace, is so that restaurant owners can get away with paying their staff low wages, which in turn allows them to artificially keep their prices lower than what they should be.

 

[OverVolt]

Yea like $20 tops for a tip though. It took him what, 2 hours to make that delivery? Is he really expecting $150 for 2hours worth of work moving pizzas around?

 

[KK]

Guess you are the fuktard for not knowing that delivery drivers for furniture get paid a heck of a lot more than $2.13 an hour too eh?

Go back to molesting mickey mouse. I thought you weren't going to argue any more? Must be slow business in the 30 million dollar business you run. What a lying piece of shit you are.

It bums me out that people can be so cheap. This person got in their car and DROVE 85 pizzas to the customer's door. I am a delivery driver. I don't do it for fun, I don't do it out of the kindness of my heart. I do it for the MONEY. It is one of the few jobs I can do while I'm in school, without having a degree yet, and make enough money to pay the mountain of student loan payments I've accumulated. This is not Europe or Japan, where prices are higher in order to pay service industry workers a living wage. This is America where people tip. This is done so consumers will have the illusion of choice. However, if you don't care, think it's "not your problem", etc, you are not only screwing over the person who brought you the food, but you're not being fair to the person who DID tip 20%. We are living in a society. If you say it's "not your problem" it is that behavior that is what makes you a bad person. My employer charges a delivery fee. I do not get that. Rather than give me, who makes $7 an hour, the delivery fee, the franchise owner (who is already rich) keeps it. I would not expect a 20% tip on the $1500 pizza order, but they should've at least given a hundred bucks. Otherwise, the customer could have easily picked up the pizzas themselves.

You can get another job if you don' t like the compensation; you certainly are not entitled to some customary token of appreciation. Especially if the cost of the service is already paid for via delivery charge.

Me and another guy delivered 60 pizzas to a school one time and got stiffed on a tip. Trip was about 8 miles each way. We did get 5 bucks for mileage though.

 

[zerocool84]

This is absolute garbage.

Do you get tips in your job? I don't, yet I still manage to give good service.

You can go to various countries in the world were tipping as a concept doesn't even exist, and get excellent service.

These guys obviously only go to real crappy food places because they won't get good service otherwise without a tip. You should do your job the best you can no matter what you do. These people expecting tips for what's in their basic job description is part of what's wrong with this world. Earn your money, simple as that.

 

[UglyCasanova]

Earn your money, simple as that.

Agreed, but the flip side of that is if you have employees, pay them what they earn. If both hold true we would be in a better place.

If you don't want to be carrying 85 boxes of pizza to someone that does not tip, then find another line of work.

If this person is doing what others have observed their classmates as doing then they will as they can after graduation.

Your nifty one-liner doesn't change the fact that tipping$10 for 85 boxes is a dipshit move.

Precisely what is it about delivering pizzas that deserves a tip in the first place?

 

[blankslate]

Lol what? Deserves to have his food spit on? NO deserves that. Anyone doing that should end up in jail.

It's a dick move. If you can't see that then oh well. As for the spit, whether it's illegal or not I'd tip much more than $10 dollars if I ever ordered that many pizzas unless I was absolutely sure I wouldn't be ordering from that place again.

 

[blankslate]

It's time, how much convenience was it for you that you didn't pickup the pizza from the delivery place once you got the sudden craving for pizza on the weekend? There are a couple of pizza places within walking distance, so it'd be quite easy to call in a pickup order and drive myself. If I get delivery I'll tip because it was a convenience not driving to pick it up.

In places they don't tip because of culture that convenience is built into the prices which are probably generally higher than here.

 

[Veliko]

That's not answering the question.

If it was because of time, I would have to tip the person who actually cooked the pizza as well.

So there isn't, in fact, anything about delivering pizzas specifically that deserves a tip?

The only way the poisonous culture of tipping will be changed is if people stop giving them, and stop making excuses for shitbag employers.

As someone else in this thread on spectacular orders like that drivers share the tip with the crew which yes requires a bit of an honor system.
So when the delivery guy returned and said he only got $10 dollars he probably got some shit from the people in the store if tip sharing was the general rule there for large orders. Which might have been the thing that made him post on the internet about it.

I think there is. It saves me time and a small amount of wear and tear and fuel for my car. To me that's worth a tip.

As for stopping tipping to send a message to the employer? Well, that also entails fucking over the delivery person first. How many people can honestly say they changed a "poisonous culture".

I think we just disagree and neither one is going to sway the other. /shrug

And how is that any different to any other service?

I could spend time learning how to make clothes, yet instead I pop down the shops to buy them. It saves me an immense amount of time, yet I don't tip anyone.

You're fucking over the delivery person by enabling and endorsing the shitty behaviour by the employer.

And poisonous cultures are changed all the time. How do you think slavery was ended?

and how many delivery drivers do you know that make $2.13/hr.

It's probably a culture thing but, I'm tipping the pizza guy or practically any other food delivery guy. As I said it's for the convenience of the service to me. ymmv

As far as I know no place delivers a shirt from their store to your door unless you're ordering from an online clothing store. But then it's sent through the mail

I don't know of any local b&m stores that delivers clothes.

If I'm driving to the local target for a t-shirt it's the same as me going into the local pizza place after calling in a pickup order.

You're fucking over the delivery person by enabling and endorsing the shitty behaviour by the employer.

Ok, if you think having an armed conflict over the way food delivery drivers are compensated is worth it.... /shrug

 

[HumblePie]

Looks like at your Dick's thread. Yep, hypocrit. Status quo.

You are full of false equivalency and bad logic aren't you? This thread I am commenting that the guy making a hissy fit out of a smaller than expected tip is stupid. He isn't owed anything, although being completely stiffed I'd have had more empathy if he didn't screw anything up. There was no legal repercussions what so ever in this thread over anything.

The other is a company breaking the law and I am forcing them to comply with the law. Totally different things. Mine was also about a company breaking the law not only against me but thousands of others.

However, you are just a jelly asshole and every one on these forums knows it. I have no idea why you even post here. Do you not have friends in real life?

 

[Mixolydian]

I had pizza for dinner tonight. No delivery though, I went and got it myself.

You keep talking about convenience, yet you don't seem to understand what it actually is.

It would take me a considerable amount of time to learn how to make clothes, and to then actually go about making them.

Therefore, going to the clothes shop and buying pre-made clothes is a convenient alternative to making them myself.

So why do the clothes shop people not deserve a tip?

Ok, if you think having an armed conflict over the way food delivery drivers are compensated is worth it.... /shrug

/facepalm.

No-one mentioned going to war. You don't seem to think it was possible to change a poisonous culture, so I gave you an example of just one such thing that was changed.

There are others.

 

[Fayd]

i would have given 25-40.

 

[QueBert]

A tip's based of how much the person spends. If I'm at Applebee's for an hour and I'm at a high end steak house for an hour. I don't tip the same, even though both waiters did essentially the same amount of work.

Negative. At fine dining you will be paying for (hopefully) a much higher level of professionalism, a waiter that should know everything about everything they are serving, etc. Applebee's is getting kids through college via bulk tables with $3 tips.

I've been a waiter at essentially both kinds of establishments. After 7 years, I will never wait tables again and I absolutely despise the tipping system.

Not comparable at all.

At Applebee's, you have to practically beg the waiters to come to your table and refill the drinks.
At a higher end restaurant(hell, even cheap places like IHOP and Olive Garden are considered higher end than Applebee's), no begging is needed to refill your drinks. The waiter comes by and ask you if you need anything before you finish your drink, or sometimes serves you two cups of your drink the 1st go round without you asking for it.

 

[lothar]

Your nifty one-liner doesn't change the fact that tipping$10 for 85 boxes is a dipshit move.

Why do they need to wait until after graduation?
Since when did getting a job at McDonalds, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, CVS, Walgreens, local movie theatre or at a grocery store require a graduate degree?
All these companies I mentioned pay more than minimum wage. There are lots of jobs where the employer does not stiff their employees by trying to pay them $2.13/hr.

Like I said before:
If you don't want to be carrying 85 boxes of pizza to someone that does not tip, then find another line of work because clearly you're being stiffed by both your employer and the customer.

Your nifty attempt at throwing the word "fact" around in the same sentence doesn't make your statement any more credible, especially when it's actually not a "fact" but an opinion in the first place.
Even if the pizza boy was tipped $100, I'm sure there will still be people that will call it a dipshit move because he didn't give 15-20%(or whatever is customary nowadays) of the total bill.
