People tip pizza guys a dollar? Man, we were tipping $5 back in the 90's. I tip $10-$12 now. The dude just drove to my house and brought me pizza, he deserves some compensation.

Don't they get paid by the service that decided to be in the food delivery business?

At Domino's about 7 years ago, we got paid minimum wage, plus I think a dollar per delivery item, (multiple houses on some trips when we were busy counted each order) and then tips on top. That per order bonus I think has gone up since then.

They charged the customer a $3.50 delivery fee though.

There was also a class action suit that showed that the per delivery bonus didn't cover the wear and tear and gas for the delivery, and could push the driver under minimum wage if they didn't get tips.

Americans have to use their own care? Wtf?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Yup, but of course according to the selfish they don't deserve tips for that. Personally I think we should all just stop delivering and force everyone to pick up. People clearly don't appreciate it, why put wear and tear on your car and soul for people who actively hate you, y'know?

They usually get paid minimum wage, and people delivering pizzas for a living typically don't have a whole lot of choices for what they do to make ends meet.

They're also likely not being fairly compensated for the wear and tear on their vehicle. Yes it should be something the worker factors in themselves, but thats not always an easy choice/option.
