Re: Pizza Delivery Tip
 

I've never delivered pizza but its not the same as tipping a waitress, they have gas and wear and tear on there car and I usually make it a habit to tip 4 dollars or more on
just a 10.00 delivery. Tipping is good for you.

Re: How to order and pay for a pizza.
 

You're paying for the overhead of delivering a pizza. I read an article where a guy who runs a small pizza place calculated the cost of delivery in 1991 as $3.00 per delivery. This includes insurance, advertising, delivery bags, warmers, pay rate for drivers, rate for the person cashing out drivers and sending them on their next deliveries, software for delivery, etc.

Pizza Hut doesn't pay their driver the entire charge. The rate drivers are reimbursed depends on location and gas prices. That reimbursement (note the word - reimbursement) compensates the driver for the wear and tear on their car. if you wonder what that's like, try driving your car 600 miles a week in traffic, stopping and starting 20+ times a day. See how often you're changing your oil, brakes, fixing minor things and see what your added cost of driving becomes.

I wonder if you apply the same logic to tipping servers in restaurants too. Yes, it's their job to do it, but if they're taking pride in their job and getting you your food when you don't feel like it, then you should show your appreciation and tip, otherwise, get off your lazy bum and get it yourself.

Re: Pizza Delivery Tip
 

That reminds me of someone I always wonder. . .

if they tell you it's going to be 2 hours or more, why are you ordering? It's gonna be a while, maybe it'll be an hour and a half, but it'll be a while. If someone told me that it would be that long, I'd find something else to eat.

Re: Pizza Delivery Tip
 

I live somewhere where my order is usually like $7.50, so I always just give them a $10 and it's done with.

The biggest tip I've ever given on a small purchase, was when my cab fare from airport to home was about $12.50 and the driver was really nice and actually took the quickest/shortest route. I just gave him a $20 and said thanks.

Are you guys stupid? I read half of this thread, and not one person has said NOT TO TIP. Wtf? Pizza Hut, the best pizza in the universe, ALREADY charges you for delivery -- 1.25 or 1.50, I forget which. Why are you going to tip when THEY ARE ALREADY CHARGING YOU FOR IT? Also, anyone seen Reservoir Dogs? It's their JOB to bring you pizza. I only tip when they do an AMAZING job, and sorry, it is impossible to do an amazing job when delivering pizza.

By the way, I order pizza maybe two times a month, and no delivery boy has EVER asked how much I want back. If they did, I would instantly turn into an a-hole, say "All of it" in the most snide way possible, and snatch my pizza. Who are you to assume you're getting a tip? Gtfo.

Yeah, I know the drivers aren't getting profits or fat and rich off that 1.25. But the point is Pizza Hut is charging me it, and that's enough.

Restaurants charge you for the experience of sitting down in a comfortable setting and getting food served to you. ALL OF THAT IS A PART OF THE EXPERIENCE OF THE RESTAURANT AND HENCE WHY YOU ARE PAYING. You go there knowing you are paying more money for food you could get elsewhere, and you don't have to pay extra for the waitresses -- you're ALREADY paying that in the jacked up prices. If they do an EXTRAORDINARY job, which most waiters / waitresses don't come CLOSE to doing, I will give them a very hefty tip. If you beat around the bush and don't act like you WANT a tip, you don't GET a tip.

"Yes, it's their job to do it, but if they're taking pride in their job and getting you your food when you don't feel like it, then you should show your appreciation and tip, otherwise, get off your lazy bum and get it yourself."

Um, I'm already paying for them to go get my food. Too bad for them, they can pick another job. Should I tip the folks who work at the cash register? After all, they help me out by tallying up my total and greeting me and putting the food in my bags.

If I don't like their service, I don't tip them or go to another restaurant. Case closed.

Beat me to it. Maybe not always semen and saliva, but your delivery is the LAST priority to the drivers, so it will be delivered as late as possible. Drivers cannot be paid more by their employers because the price of pizza has not gone up in 25 years, but the cost of food and labor sure has. So do you want to tip the drive 2 or 5 bucks, or do you want to pay 3 times what you pay for the pizza right now? You are better off tipping the driver.

If I get zero tips I make 5.15$/hr. When I take gas money and general maintenance on my car out of that then I don't think I would be LOSING money but I would definately not have a living wage.

My average, over 4 years, is about 12$/hr not taking into account gas and maintenance. I get 75 cents per delivery, which isn't charged to the customer. It was 50 cents but I complained enough after gas was 2.50/gallon to get my boss to give that extra quarter.

Also, I'm not sure how it works everywhere but at the Happy Joe's around here they charge a delivery fee of 1.50$-2.50$, depending on location, and if you're driving the company truck they keep that, otherwise it's yours.

Plus, if the food is late its almost certainly not the delivery guys fault. Traffic can be bad, the store could be extremely busy etc. Bottom line the driver wants to get your food delivered ASAP because it means more business for him.

We also have to pay for our gasoline as well. Give him the whole [censored] 20 bucks and quit being a bitch.

I was pointing out that stores probably differentiate on how they distribute the delivery charge. Some stores probably give some money to the drivers, my store gave none.

With the current prices of gas I'm of the opinion that if you don't tip at least two bucks then you should pick it up.

My uncle used to deliver pizzas, and he got transferred to a store where he wasn't making a dime in tips. Then he figured out that the other drivers were hand-picking the pizzas for good tippers and giving those priority over other pizzas....and likewise, they were deliberately leaving pizzas for bad tippers that my uncle would have to deliver and get yelled at for it being late.

EDIT: This is an example of how a pizza delivery guy can go out of his way for someone who tips well...your pies get top priority on a very busy night.

FWIW, if you're gonna be a punk and try to nit-pick and power-trip over whether you should tip $2 or $3 or stiff drivers who may assume you're gonna give them a tip, you should probably just go pick the pizza up yourself.

Use the same standards you would to tip a waitress as a driver. Remember they put a lot of wear and tear on their car, come out in the elements and bring you food that you didn't feel like cooking for yourself or going out to get. Show the love and compensate them accordingly. If the weather's bad, compensate them. And this means, get to the door immediately, don't make them stand outside and wait. If an order's over $10, $3 is minimum. If they have to go out of their way much, give more. If you live on the 10th floor with no elevator and get 3 bags of pizza and 4 2-liters, then you'd better be tipping 25% at least.



[/ QUOTE ]

No. I used to deliver pizzas and your guidelines are way too high. Delivery drivers are not similar to waiters. The service isn't the same. The interaction isn't the same. The effort isn't the same.

Re: Pizza Delivery Tip
 

As a driver I used to always carry correct change including coins, and I always assumed that the customer wanted the full amount back if they didn't say anything. Drivers who try and scam the customer or who are unprepared annoy me, but I guess it's just the American way. Half-ass it and expect full compensation, because usually you can get away with it.

On the other hand I remember delivering to some guy who didn't apparently didn't speak english yet had miraculously managed to claim he had a coupon for a free pizza. He didn't have the coupon and I refused to give the pizzas to him. When I got back to the store the assistant manager told me to just deliver it again and I was like, screw that. I don't scam and I don't like getting scammed and I'm not about to deliver a pizza 2x to some jackass.

Re: Pizza Delivery Tip
 

'You delivered pizzas. How can you go out of your way for someone who tips well?'

If possible deliver their order first. Thats a big perk since people ordering are lazy and demanding instant gratification. Normally that could mean getting your food 15-30 minutes early depending on other factors. Free drinks, possibly some kind of discount if I took the order.


'If everyone tipped $4.50 for delivering a pizza, you'd be making way, way too much money.'

Have you looked at gas prices lately? 15 years ago, you'd be right. 4.50 at every house would be great but it is unrealistic. Personally,I expected 2 or 3 bucks at every house. More or less depending on the size of the order and the distance from the store.

'How is that our problem? You're the driver. If you don't like the fact that you're not getting a piece of the delivery charge, get a job delivering pizzas somewhere else.'

That's a valid point. The store I worked at had considerably higher volume than the competition and generally people overlooked the delivery charge and tipped well anyway.

I used to be a very mediocre tipper, but a little experience always changes your point of view.

I delivered food for a restaurant so not sure if this differs much from a pizza joint, but, to keep track of customers who didn't order often, we(the drivers) would type comments into the customer data system that would come out when you printed an order(the drivers copy only, where directions go). So a jerkoff customers who lived relatively far away and didn't tip for sh-t got comments when i got back, so the other drivers would also know, it was hilarious actually, when months later i'd get a ticket that said "huge ahole, apartment complex sucks, and hardly tips..." lol i remember this ahole! deliver the food an hour and half later, oh sorry sir, but we were so busy and short a driver tonight...

I delivered food for a restaurant so not sure if this differs much from a pizza joint, but, to keep track of customers who didn't order often, we(the drivers) would type comments into the customer data system that would come out when you printed an order(the drivers copy only, where directions go). So a jerkoff customers who lived relatively far away and didn't tip for sh-t got comments when i got back, so the other drivers would also know, it was hilarious actually, when months later i'd get a ticket that said "huge ahole, apartment complex sucks, and hardly tips..." lol i remember this ahole! deliver the food an hour and half later, oh sorry sir, but we were so busy and short a driver tonight...

1. My pizza has always been great from Pizza Hut.

2. If I started noticing discernible differences, I would call and complain to the manager, and the little "game" would be up.

maybe there just giving you good service with spit on it... lol.

at a lot of places complaining to managers doesn't do [censored], yea they'll kiss your ass on the phone and what not but when they get done with you they'd come over to me the driver and say, man that guys an ahole, heres 10 bucks to retake the food back to him, then i'd do some fun messed up [censored] to aholes food and deliver it quicker this time, but i'd still laugh at how i ruined aholes night and now 2hrs later he's getting his contaminated pizza and food, this kind of thing happened fairly often especially on busy nights... man that was a fun job. lol

You retards that think your clever saving a few bucks here or there by not tipping much, probably have never worked in a restaurant or pizza joint and have no idea how likely it is that sooner or later your going to be eating purposely contaminated food, the movie "waiting" does a good job at portraying this... so keep it up.

I love how in the threads about tipping poker dealers people get pissed if you say that you shouldjt tip a guy 2 or 3 bucks for a big pot that took a minute to play( a buck is fine and most dealers porbably dont deserve that.)Yet the same people try and justify not giving someone who drives from a store to your house a decent tip.
