That's a harsh attitude. I used to deliver ('til '94) and I can tell you that 9 times out of 10, when we were late, it was not due to getting lost. It was due to the pizza coming out of the oven late. That's a management issue, not a driver issue. Don't make the driver pay.

I once delievered a pizza to a totally hot girl in a red silk robe and I could see nipples! Made my fucking day!:thumbsup :thumbsup

Actually, made my week.

No it's not, not if you want to be fair. $2 should be minimum.

$16 pizza I tip $4 = $20

I usually tip at least 15% of what my pie is worth .....

I have my favorite place in town here that gets my business .... I order maybe 3 times a month, and my pie is on my coffee table in under 20 mins all the time ...

When you order delivery food, the delivery driver is your waitor or waitress ... why would you think they should not deserve a tip, or only $1-2??

Be glad I'm not delivering your pies you cheap asses .... next time I would spit on it!

If somebody serves you, and the service is good, YES they deserve a tip, and in most cases their wages depend on tips!

I scrolled up and read this AFTER I posted ..... VERY WELL SAID!! :thumbsup

You sound like a real piece of work. :disgust

Of course I tip delivery people. I can't imagine why you wouldn't. It's a few bucks that allowed you to not get up off your ass to go get your own pizza.

Tip for sure. There is no reason you can't throw them at least a buck.

I'm not from the US, and where I live tipping is a rare thing compared to the tipping in the US

now, can somebody explain me why you're almost obligated to tip, just because they get paid a shitty wage?
Is it your fault the owner pays them a shitty wage?
Free delivery is free delivery ... they should just calculate that in the price or whatever.

Maybe I'm just confused because here they make sure prices are high enough to include everything.

I remember when I was in Phoenix, we tipped the lady at the window of the drive-through of some fastfood place ... she said she had been working in that industry for years and it was the first time she got a tip :)

Always tip. Doesn't have to be a lot. $2-$3?

It's up to you but it certainly is not a big deal for me to give the guy a couple dollars to brighten his/her day.

I figure most of them hate their job. I know I would. Life's been good to me so I always tip $5 for pizza and 20-30% at restaurants and thank the gods I'm not in the service industry.

This is customary for my non-US friends to take this viewpoint. But in the US, you should do as Americans do, and when in Rome (etc) we will do as the Romans do.

yeah my orders usually come out to $17, i give em the $20 bill. if it's over $17 i throw in some extra $1's.

I usually tip everyone, unless the service is complete shit.

I live approx. 5 minutes away from my local pizza place. If they can't get the pizza to me within 30 minutes they are not getting any tip period.

I tip $2 regardless of order.

make your own judgement by looking at their faces...u can tell...

i dont tip them, i beat them! :)
