      Tell me where a warehouse worker is getting paid $6 an hour because I would love to know. Delivery drivers get paid less than minimum because they rely on those tips, same as waiters and waitresses.

        WHere im at the warehouse guys make a little more than what the pizza deliveries guys make.

        And a lot of the warehouse guys cannot be pizza delivery guys due to very marginal driving records.

        Im not telling you to tip the pizza guy, Im just telling you that if you are even a semi regular at the establishment then dont be surprised.

              I have always disliked the business accounting on tipping to copmlement wages. The effect is reduce the wages paid to the employee, as he will make some extra by tips. If tipping were prohibited, the employee would be forced to increase the wages, and of course increase the price of the items. That is not a bad thing. I do not go to a store to buy a $400 screen and expect to tip $5 to the electronics guy + $1 to the cashier guy. The price offered should inclued all the costs.

              In case of pizza, anyone ordering delivery should be charged an extra amount to cover all costs of delivery, including wages of delivery guys.

              Tipping model has many bad implications. Often are underreported by the employee, stiffing IRS and retirement plans. In many cases it is a problem getting a refund of tips on business expenses, or they are overreported.

              In short, the advertised price should cover all implied expenses, as happens on 99% of business.

                    It says 8-15/hr (gas+tips) smart guy, so thanks for perfectly illustrating the need for tipping. Stop trying to skew the truth.

                      I dont understand why you guys think they dont deserve a tip. You think they should deliver the pizza to your house for free? If you cant afford to pay 5 bucks extra, then just pick it up.

                        I think that means the company pays for the gas,doesn't say anywhere the driver is. But 15 an hour as a pizza driver,I honestly might apply. Listen to the radio and I bet a lot of drivers are smoking weed on the job. Sounfs like a sweet gig to me. And some of them are making 25/hr with tips,I'm deff gonna apply

                          Obviously reading comprehension not being one of your strong suits.

                          That 12/hr is assuming tips and also accounting for mileage paid. The store pays these employees minimum wage, the remainder of there income is derived from tips and basically mileage is just a reimbursement on what you have to spend on gas. You cannot be this slow, Im from the south and were naturally stupid and even I can comprehend that.

                          I don't agree with the process of stores making the customer pay their employees wages either but Im not going to stiff a delivery guy/waitress or anyone else because of it.

                          Only problem is as soon as they increase those tipped employees wages up to a reasonable standard you can guarantee a substantial increase on the goods/services associated with that.

                            how could they know how much tips they are going to get? and even if they are making min wage I'd say avg tips are 3-5 per delivery. How many stops do they normally make a day?

                                Bingo...look lets just make it a 3 dollar delivery charge...dude gets 3 bucks per delivery every time, no fighting over big tipper no poisoning bad tippers and no guessing whether youll make 5 bucks or whatever for a good tipper or nothing from a bad tipper or somewhere in between and being pissed off at the employees/coworkers/owners for screwing you and I promise he will race that pizza to your door in order to make more money delivering more pies

                                But dont charge me a 1.50 delivery charge then expect me to tip 3 bucks on top of that...I tell ya this delivery charge is effectively robbing their drivers and heres why

                                Old days a pizza costs 12.60 lets say...I give him 15 bucks and say keep the change dude made 2.40 for delivering the pie....nowadays pizza costs 12.60 and they charge me 1.50 and I give the guy 15 bucks and shut the door dude make .90 but Im still paying the same 15 bucks I wouldve paid anyway

                                So why not just make it a 3 dollar charge...pizza costs 12.60...add 3 bucks and I'll give him 15.60 or 16 if I have no change and dude will make 3 or 3.40 a pie...but Im not gonna give the ************ 17 bucks and tip him 4.40 for a pie and even if I did he is only going make 2.90 since Dominos pockets that 1.50 charge. But instead Im going to get pissed off about being charged for a service I've always paid for thru tipping and give him the 15 and hes gonna be pissed cuz dominos took 1.50 of his 2.40 delivery tip and of course rather than take it out on his greedy boss will try to penetrate with my food and end up gettin his teeth knocked down his throat

                                  I delivered pizzas for less than minimum wage and they paid you per delivery as the "gas mileage". It was nice if it was near the shop but usually it's not, hence why they want it delivered. The $1.50 per delivery was hardly enough to cover gas and car related expenses. And taking into account standard of living, that "up to $12/hr" is like up to $9 an hr where I live in Michigan probably. Tip the delivery guys and be thankful you don't get a pizza that someone fukked with.

                                    Its an average/estimate. That why it says UP TO $12/hour. SOme days could be $8, some $12. Nobody knows exactly how much is made as there are way to many variables involved.

                                        The places i go to dont deliver.... pettrillos san gabriel for the most part.... i often cringe when im eating pizza at somebodys house and they dont tip somebody even told me the delivery charge was the tip... um i wanted to tell them you do know that pizza was probably tampered with in some way lol you do know that right? You should always be nice and tip when a tip is required when it comes to people who handle your food even more so when it comes to people who deliver your food and could do god knows what to your dinner in transit.

                                            bingo if you cant give the kid a 5 spot you probably should be getting those pick up deals anyway cheapo mccheaperson yeah i know the economy is bad and moneys tight but damn.

                                                  Get a car with some decent gas mileage if you're a delivery man...my car gets 50 mpg...I could make the 4 mile round trip to Dominos 12x for a 3 dollar gallon of gas...1 pie pays the gas the next 11 are pure profit...youll make 36-3 gas = 33 bucks for 3 hours work deliverin 4 pies an hour..thats 11 bucks an hour how much do you think a 16 year old kid should make 20 bucks an hour? None of us would go to college wed all deliver pizzas if we could make 20/hr doin it, 800 a week for 40 hours work with no student loans uh yea give me that fukin pie junior Ill deliver it

                                                    For a 16 year old kid whos choices are slavin under the lamps at Burger King or McDs for min wage (7.25 here but whatever it is around your area idk) a 15 dollar an hour job just gettin high as a kite and handin somebody a pie every 15 mins sounds pretty damn good

                                                    Also the million workers at Walmart get about 8 an hour to break their backs stockin shelves all day Im sure theyd love 15...jobs that require no education, no intelligence, no skills etc rarely pay double digits much less 15/hr

                                                          And yes it is a dream job, smoke weed,listen to sports radio, free pizza make a decent enough income but not to much so I can qualify for some Obama stamps and possibly an Obama phone. Dream job.

                                                                      So we dont deserve pizza delivery guys because of our high cola... unreal to be honest guys shouldnt even be eating at these shitty commercial joints out here all the 4 or 5 star joints are mom and pop italian family spots that dont deliver. 30 a pie but i t will be the best pizza you've had.

(.75 cents to a dollar). the store keeps the rest. you haven't already tipped because you picked up the phone and placed the order... it is up to the customer to tip at the door. 90% do. if you don't, the drivers don't give a shit about you.. they are already cussing you as soon as the order comes through. no one wants to go there .. if they take multiple deliveries out the door, you are dead last to get yours.. after the tipping customers, and possibly a gas fill up, smoke break, fountain drink run, phone call, dinner, etc... for every bum that doesn't tip, there is someone who tips well ($5-10).. At the very least, a customer should give $2. $3 or $4 is SOLID.... Tip well or solid and your pie will be in good hands
