Tipping Bartenders

[Dr Rick Daris]

also if you are paying cash and the driver is the one that answers the phone there is a 95% chance they will make the pizza off the books and pocket all the money

well i never

Delivery guy in some cases is the one slicing and boxing your pizza, and organizing the whole order to make sure you get the right stuff.

then I suppose that's what he gets his minimum wage for... I don't tip when I go pick up the pizza, and they check my order and slice it then. should I be tipping for picking up my pizza?

My example shows why you should tip differently for delivering one pizza vs. eight.

not really. unless youre saying I should tip for picking up a pizza (or 8), what happens before the delivery is irrelevant to my tip.

You wrote a really long paragraph about the amount of work they do making the number of pizzas irrelevant to your tip.  I'm saying the number of pizzas is relevant to the amount of work they do because that affects just about everything except the operating of a car.

But as always, do whatever you want.  The delivery guy (OR GIRL!) will whatever he (OR SHE!) wants too.

usually tip between $2-3. if its shitty weather out, ill tip $4 maybe. I don't think the 20% thing comes to play here. it takes the same amount of work to carry a pizza to my door as it does to carry 8 pizzas.

no, I said the amount of work they do delivering the pizza was irrelevant to my tip. until you told me the delivery guy/girl is the one slicing my pizza, I had no idea.  but yeah, I never order 8 pizzas anyways. usually its just a zombie version of TTHOTUC ordering a single large pizza at 3 am.

What about takeout orders at places like Applebee's, BWW, etc.?  Tip or no?

I usually tip a buck or two. Seems weird that so many people are so cheap.

I tip delivery drivers 20% every time. If anything, they deserve more than waiters.

It won't be long before you can order some frozen pizzas delivered by amazon drone and then you can skip the tipping altogether.  Don't forget to order a pizza slicer too.

does anyone order pizza by phone though?

pain in the ass, but pizza shuttle doesn't have online ordering

I'm convinced sys and jrake are the same person

i aspire to be the TOTAL OPPOSITE of sys, though it would be fun to be 9-feet tall for a day.

i also aspire to be the opposite of jrake, but i am actually fairly similar.  jrake is the part of me that i hate.

IMO online ordering is more of a pain in the ass than using the phone

absolutely.  but less than the guys that come and haul my disgusting trash away from my house.

I don't do it enough that I have an account set up with any of the major chains. Probably makes a difference.

Waiting to hear why tipping is immoral.  Maybe I missed it.

it's all about class, social status, aristocracy.

Hmmm...I must be too low in the caste system to get it.

I would say our system of tipping is superior to Europe's system.  Dining out or drinking there is a mess.

Pizza delivery drivers usually get a set amount for each delivery, like 75 cents or something (maybe more nowadays). If you order during a really busy time they are probably not cutting your pizza (but they probably are at least making sure you have the correct number of pizzas and bringing you the cheese and pepper packets); but if you order late at night they most likely are cutting your pizza because fewer employees working at that time means everyone does a little extra.

Also, 8 pizzas are a lot harder to carry than 1 because only 4 pizzas fit into one of those heated poach things and carrying 2 of them is a bitch.

europe is a diverse place.  i personally have preferred eating in european (and mexican) restaurants to american.  i don't find eating out at most american restaurants at all enjoyable.
