I always do about $2-3, and any spare change. When I was younger, my cousin received a $20 to order a medium pizza for the two of us. I guess he just didn't know/care, but he gave the guy the full $20, so basically a $10 tip. His mother was not very pleased, lol.

I've been working at an independent pizzeria for 17 years now. We are located in a very well-to-do neighborhood. A large plain pizza (16" diameter) at our pizzeria is $12.03 for pick up, $13.00 for delivery. We always round it up to the nearest dollar when it comes to delivery. Places like Dominos or Papa Johns will add a service charge of anywhere from $1.50- $3.00. Our delivery drivers get $10.00 per hour and pay for their own gas. They work 3 to 4 days a week and have 3 to 4 hour shifts. So if we're not busy, they'll make $30-$40 just sitting around reading the newspaper. If we're busy, they'll make anywhere from $10-$40 in tips alone.
Once in a while, you get the ones that don't tip. They're usually teenagers. In this case, the next time they call for delivery, we charge an extra $2.00.
The one thing I can't stand is when they don't shovel their driveway & walkway in wintertime.

I usually tip $2, because my orders are never more than $15. Last night I ordered a pizza and I felt like the driver owed me a tip. Pizza showed up 45 minutes after it was scheduled, and was very lukewarm, as if it had been put back into an oven after the initial cooking. They got a very angry phone call and I've got a free pizza coming to me

That's even worse than calling it a pie. There's a restaurant down the road called 'Za. Their pizza is ing terrible. I've been to 'Za in Indianapolis. Their food is indeed pretty terrible. Highly recommend avoiding. There was also piss all over the bathroom, not near the toilet, the entire bathroom. The sinks. the mirrors.. everywhere.. it looked like 5 guys ran into the bathroom and just started pissing

Why tip someone for a job I'm capable of doing myself? I can deliver food. I can drive a taxi. I can, and do, cut my own hair. I did however, tip my urologist, because I am unable to pulverize my own kidney stones.

I always pick it up myself. I don't feel it's worth an extra few dollars to get it delivered, when I can just drive & pick it up. The pizza shop doesn't knock off 3 or 4 dollars just because I go in for a pick-up, that's how I look at it. On the rare occasion I do have a delivery, I'll tip 2 or 3 bucks. I hate when people say they "count on tips", I would suggest finding a new job if that's the case. I can see a delivery man saying that because they actually drive their car to you, which is a service. Waiters on the other hand never get more than a dollar tip from me. The ones that come by once 2 minutes before I finished with my meal don't get a cent. That would be like tipping the Wal-Mart cashier for ringing you up & packing your bags.

How much do those people make? Waiters/waitresses/delivery people. What is the average pay there? as a server, I made $2.13 an hour + Tips.....I also rarely if ever worked 40 hours in a week either. A bi weekly paycheck for me on a good week would be pushing $200. I make that in half a week now. I know here they don't make jack shit. He lives, I believe, in the UK, so I was wondering how much they make over they since it seems he thinks they make too much as it is that they don't need a tip.

Not sure if there are delivery places that do this, but I know that some resturaunts make their employees split a percentage of their tips. Now that, I think, is a true crime.

Of course you tip the pizza guy. He buys his own gas, after all.

what's the difference between tip and delivery charge? The "Delivery Charge" is set in place so the drivers get compensated for their gas milage and to help the company pay for insurance on the drivers. However, at Dominos (Where I work) we only get 0.26 in return for every mile we drive. There is a $1.99 delivery charge. I have NEVER taken a delivery where I have actually drove 8 miles round trip. So, basically the driver doesn't see any of that money and it all goes to corporate. As for a tip, that all goes to the driver.

Of course. There is a special place in hell for people who don't. I used to be a driver and any time anyone didn't tip me, I remembered it. If it was regular maltippage I would mess with their food. I am not a slave, making less than minimum wage to serve gives you the right to take liberties.
