pizza: You start off wit a $10 pizza, but when the taxes, delivery charge, and a mild tip come due, you've paid $20. This is wrong.|||Ooh, don't even get me STARTED on this! See below: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind…|||Thanks. As you say, it is just plain WRONG. Report Abuse |||DONT ORDER. Pick it up if you dont like it. We are paid 4/hour.(Because we get tips?) papa John) I am not a deadbeat. This is the only job I can find. My job went to Korea.(9yrs at Honeywell)I am a viet vet and college grad. The company charges 2/delievry..I get .75 Report Abuse |||First rule here is that nothing is Free in life! It costs the pizza place money to hire the driver to deliver the pizza to your home. If they do not charge you for delivery, then its simply added into the cost of the pizza. Second of all, the tip is totally up to you but for most people who work in the service industry, a tip is expected expecially if they have to deliver your order to an apartment or in an office building. If you don't want to pay it, then I suggest you go and pick up your pizza from the delivery place!|||Yes. Most delivery places only give the driver a portion of the delivery fee the rest is kept by the store. I had worked for pizza hut for 17 years and toward the end our delivery area expanded to almost 8.5 miles one way and many times I sent a driver on a 16 mile round trip for a reimbursement of 82 cents! Just think of it this way that most of want services so just pay for your services! Now I am not saying that you should tip the guy if he or she is a complete a** but if they are friendly and are helpful then tip accordingly. I currently think that the minimum tip for home delivery should be at least 3 - 4 dollars for larger orders then raise it accordingly. Also take into account if the driver has to lug your order way down a building and if they set up for you or maybe the driver has peppers and parm in a pocket waiting for your request. Please remember that many of these employees have families and do this job because they enjoy it. Tip them accordingly otherwise the only other alternative will be that delivery fees will just go up!|||still you should tip|||the pizza place gets the fee. tip the guy, cheapskate! he's bringing you food.|||Increase in oil prices and greed.|||Well you pretty much tip because that's how they make extra money. I used to work on a pizza place and the delivery charge was only 1.50 2 years ago. You don't have to tip the drivers a lot only 2 dollars is fine with them, because I have spoken to them about it. they appreciate for you to rather give them a 2 dollar tip and be nice then to be a jerk and give them 5 dollars tip.. think about it, it all makes sense.|||I hear you but with the prices of gas going up they need to compensate for it, also because they have to pay the drivers.|||the company loses money by paying for gas think, your pizza is 10 bucks, the gas to make it added to the cost of food is about 15 bucks net gain = -5 dollars you make them bankrupt quick! and as for tip, someone had to get in the car and drive it to your lazy azz|||It's similar to what FedEx and UPS do - fuel costs have gone through the roof and they have to pay their drivers for gas (or mileage reimbursement). When you add that to the rising cost of the ingredients and a price that hasn't moved in a few years something has to give. Personally, I still tip since (in California at least) they can pay the drivers less than minimum wage since it's a "tipped" position.|||because the delivery fee goes to the pizza joint ( price of gas food etc going up) but the poor guy schlepping your pizza to you makes minimum wage or less and he gets the tip..|||Because they can and we'll pay it. I don't tip when there is a delivery charge, and if the drivers have a problem with that they need to take it up with the company. I've never even seen the same delivery driver twice in a row anyway, so if it bothers him it's not a big deal.|||FOR THE TOILETPAPER , AFTER YOU EAT THE PIZZA , WHEN YOU **** IN YOUR PANTS!!!!!!!|||When I order a pizza I don't care if they expect a tip because there not getting it.Delivery charge should be there tip not another tip on top of that.
