Pizza Delivery Tip

[Soul Daddy]

The standard way to avoid this awkward situation is to state the amount of change you want back as you are handing him the money.

Bingo. Guy: "That'll be $15.26" You: *Handing him a $20* "Can I get $2 back?"

especially if you order often from this pizza joint. I delivered food for a restaurant for a couple months a few years ago, and was shocked at the regular customers who wouldn't tip, like i'm not going to remember and make sure i take extra long and your food is cold next time around...I mean your fat ass can afford a $50 takeout meal but you can't throw me 5 bucks for making sure it was all correct and delivered in a reasonable time.

i always tip well because i assume that i'll get my order faster the next time i call, as well as thinking that it would be less likely they might spit in my food.

I've delivered pizza, I've driven cabs. I consider 15% average....and if I order a tip-able service I generally go 20% and round up to the next dollar. Others say "If you're bringing me food, it's worth at least $5". Others are tightwads playing power games and convince themselves they'll "tip well" unless challenged, in which case they go on some ridiculous ego trip and feel justified tipping $0.

Come on, people.....if you're willing to pay for delivery and they deliver you the expected item in the expected time, then give them 15-20%. If you can't afford that, than don't order the freaking food in the first place.

If they give horrible service or are late, then it's a different situation, but geez....don't order delivery if you can't afford to tip or need to find some nit reason not to tip. Grow up. It's a cupla bucks more for a pizza....phone in the order and drive there and pick it up yourself if you're too damn cheap to tip. It's not complicated.

I paid for my pizza the other day with all change.

Does this make me cheap?

The way I looked at, the sock drawer payed for pizza that night.

Granted it was all loonies and toonies, but I still felt kind of cheap. And I gave the girl $16 for a $14.32 bill. I thought that was fair.

It's not always the driver's fault it's late. Sometimes, 3-4 people call in at the same time and there's just 1 driver. Sometimes, the cooks mess up. Sometimes, the boss is just an idiot and keeps scheduling someone who hasn't shown up for 3 weeks and you get screwed when 2 others don't show up and you're the only driver after 9 on a Friday and there's already 15 orders up that are all late.
