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.
When I was working at a steakhouse I claimed 10% of my food sales... I averaged 30-40% of my food sales per night average $130/200 per night.. and then I discovered bar tending in the $100-400 per night but LONG HOURS!
