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.

foxwoodsplayer udbrky Homer all...  The gong has spoken. This thread is locked. [/ QUOTE ] My gong is bigger than your gong. Anyway . . . [ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] You're a douchenozzle. Wait a minute, did you say . . . [ QUOTE ] . . . Pizza Hut, the best pizza in the universe . . . [/ QUOTE ] I take it back. You're a douchenozzle and a moron to boot.

[/ QUOTE ] It's their job. If they don't like it, they can pick another route of employment. I do not own them any sympathy whatsoever. If Pizza Hut didn't charge me for the delivery, maybe it'd be another story. 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.
