    Brock, what is an acceptable tip to give a pizza delivery guy?
    I don't eat junk food or pizza often. As a matter of fact, I hadn't ordered a pizza since last summer. I got the Domino's 2 med 2 topping deal for 5.99 each. The total was around $15 so I tipped the little nerdy guy $3. Is that typical/acceptable? I'm not very experienced in this department. By the way, it tastes very good.

          Brock, when you are delivering do you have to put a sign on your car?

                        I got a question. If the pizza place charges a delivery charge, do you take that out of the tip?

                          I always just give them whatever I would have given them even if there's a charge, so fee plus the regular tip. Pizza guys love coming to my place. I always give at least 5, doesn't even matter what the total is. Most of these drivers have to pay for their own gas, plus the hourly wage is usually really low.

                            It depends. If it's 17.50 I give him a $20. If is 21.50 I give him $25.

                              I only will eat at 1 pizza place in town. They are the only place they has Vegan Cheese with all the Vegan toppings. They won't deliver to my house because I am not in their delivering area. By far the best Pizza in the area.

                                Looks good but I have to have at least one dead animal on mine.

                                      Standard tipping guidelines I thought, 15-20% of pretax total depending on service.

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

                                          Does the delivery charge go to the driver or to the shop?

                                                Me and my girl was sittin' around one night and ordered a pizza. The delivery guy came in stayed about 15 minutes & got stoned with us. When I went to pay him he said just roll me one of those & the pizza is on the house! I didnt pay shit for the nickel so that was awfully nice!

                                                        That guy that got stoned probably got some shit when he got back to the shop. I've had some chicks open the door in bras and undies, but i had more orders in the civic. Maybe should've said funk it. Oh well m.o.b.

                                                          You get $1 for delivery anyway plus mileage, so it's always like 15 bucks an hour. Cuz you usually get 3 deliverys in an hour. Of course say adios to your car, cuz it's going to the junkyard if you drive pies long.

                                                            As long as the main manager or owner isn't there it doesn't make a shit, & they usually leave by 6-7:00pm. The delivery drivers are usually in their late twenties to mid thirties & the shift manager is 19. If he gives them any shit the driver will just beat the fuk out of him

                                                              Well in the hood, the drivers are all kind of a gang, so the manager is outnumbered. The manager always gets more than the drivers, but he pops in and out. If you know the owner, you're good. Actually everyone at this one spot were in the same gang, so that was fun.

Definitely a good gig if you have a bucket, aren't religously opposed to driving meat-lover pizzas, and want $15/ hour. Plus you can work a morning job and drive at night... If you want to hustle.
