Am I wrong? (delivery drivers)
- Thread starter lftd&pwrstrok'n
- Start date
Back around 07 I tried delivering pizzas for a Pizza Hut in North Macon. I lasted about half a shift. At the time I was driving a 94 Camry that did okay on gas. But what I quickly learned is that nobody tips the pizza guy anymore. Seriously I delivered one to a regular customer in one of the upper crust gated communities and got no tip at all. On top of that the lady wrote a damn check even though she knew and I knew we weren't supposed to take a check. The last order I took some grade school kid came to the door and was nearly a dollar short. When I got back to the store the manager told me I had forgotten to take their 2 liter Pepsi with the order and to take it back to them. I told her she could take it back to them cause I was done.
Here's what's worse. When a delivery driver is clocked in and at the store he gets whatever minimum wage is now. But when they go out on a delivery they make about half that much as in whatever the waitress minimum wage is now. It's about $2.30 an hour. See the companies and gubment are assuming that wait staff and delivery drivers are raking in the cash money in tips. So they screw them on the hourly rate. But more often than not the tips just ain't there. That waitress minimum or whatever they call it should be Illegal.

Start brown bagging your lunch. You'll save a bunch of money and won't have to worry about going hungry because you forgot your cash.
Ok, well work is a little different.
I understand the cash only angle.
All you need meow is a meme or two.

If pizza is between $15-$20... give a $20
$20-$25 give $25
Never expect any change and you never have to give more than $5, I can live with giving delivery dude $5
If you have $40 and order a $21 pizza..... you shouldn't ordered delivery.
They don't keep change like they used too

I have often considered this, but to be honest, we don't cook at home so there are no leftovers. Being on 12 hour night shifts and working a lot of OT, I don't have time or energy to get up early enough to make something. Yes, it is just an excuse, but a valid one in my eyes.
I agree w/ you up until the not being able to break a $20 thing. This has just started. I have had the same routine for 18+ years. It has been w/in the past 6 months that it is an issue. Once again, they know where they are delivering to; a business, not a home in the hood. There is absolutely ZERO chance of being robbed coming here. So that shouldn't be the issue.
I think, and maybe I am wrong, that it is a tactic to get a bigger tip. That is normally what I do; just let them keep it.
Don't cook?!
I would get sick of that quick.
I usually have dinner on the table by 6.
Then again I have been on straight 40 for a year now.

I have never been a delivery driver or server, but I tip very well. Minimum 20% in restaurants and $5 to delivery drivers. I know their pay sucks and daddy always said, "If you can afford to eat out, you can afford to tip well".
