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 Haha yeah, in Broad Ripple. About a block from my house. That sounds about right. Pizzas garbage, breadsticks are terrible, and the restrooms are trashed... To be expected in Ripple. That's why you go to Hot Box for real pizza

Wait, I just thought, why do you tip the pizza guy if you don't tip other delivery workers like UPS, Fedex, etc.?

It all depends. If I order from the place on a regular basis then YES I tip. Any where from 1 to 2 dollars. If it is a first time order then No I dont tip....... For all I know the food will be garbage so I refuse to tip for a first time delivery. If I feel the delivery charge is rediculous then No I dont tip..... there are places around me that will charge 4 dollars for a delivery. 4 dollars is INSANE to me so I refuse to tip those guys. If I wont be ordering again from that place any time soon then No I dont tip..... A tip is a way to say job well done, if I wont be seeing you again for a while I dont feel a need to reward your hard work. If delivery was free then YES I tip. I feel all deliverys should be free.
Before I get hated on, I am a truck driver. I have delivered product to stores/restaurants/hotels/warehouses/and some homes. Often times the job is hard when unloading and loading the truck, a lot harder than carrying food up some steps and knocking on a door. So sometimes when I get a delivery guy who I feel is rude/lazy I dont tip them. The way I see it is we both do the same type of work. When im delivering or picking up product I am always friendly always polite and always a hard worker. So when I see someone in a similar field of work just half azz it I get p.o.ed and dont tip.
Delivery Nightmare I ordered a Pizza once, the guy called my house and told me he was outside. I waited and he didnt come to the door. He called again and demanded I walk out to get the Pizza. WTF!?! It is called delivery for a reason, so to all you delivery guys out there.... DO YOUR JOB. If I wanted to walk outside for my food I would have picked it up myself and not paid a delivery charge. Needless to say, I didnt pay for the Pizza and never ordered form there again. And Ill go ahead and say F Mama Lunas Pizza in Chicago.

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. even if it looks like no one got the joke, you sir, win.

tbh, no. However if the price is 24.48 for example I let them keep the 52 pence.
I do leave tips in resturaunts though.

I can't speak to UPS, but FedEx Ground's driving fleet is made up entirely of subcontracted drivers. The first commitment they make in contracting with FedEx is to purchase their own vehicle.

Not that I order alot, and itf I do, I'll go and pick it tup, but, if I was getting a delivery, I don't think I would, I mean like Dwight Schrute says, "Why tip someone for something I can do myself?"

The whole argument of "why tip for something I could have done myself" is only valid if you actually took the initiative to do it yourself.
Sure, I can wait tables or deliver pizzas. But if I choose to have somebody do it for me, then that guy deserves a tip. Otherwise it's like saying that I'm entitled to ask people to do free favors for me, simply because I could do it myself if I weren't a lazy ass.
I can cook a mean burger and fries, too, but that doesn't mean my meal at Applebee's should be on the house.
That's not directed at Dwight Schrute guy, by the way... I caught that reference and know you were joking.

I don't tip the pizza guy, but that's 'cause he doesn't come to my house. I'll go and get the pizza myself, thanks.

This will probably make me sound like a cheap ass but I don't order delivery anymore because I don't like paying the delivery charge or the tip. I just go get it. The 3 pizza places we order from are all within a few blocks from my house anyways.

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. I work at one of those places.... Granted, I make $6.00(Guaranteed Without tips). But at the end of the day, it gets to be like $6.30-6.50 an hour with split tips included...... and the Minimum Wage is $7.30 here. So i'm not really a fan, but theirs no other jobs availble at the moment

You know what's worse than people who don't tip?
The fact that delivery people & restaurant staff in general get paid $3.00 an hour (just picked a random low number) The whole concept is completely intellectually- disabled. Go out into a busy area on a friday or saturday night...Friday's Chilis & Applebees are LOADED with people from 5-10PM.....every week. At $10 a meal average those places have to be raking in hundreds of thousands a month. The fact that the restaurant industry pays its employees who aren't chefs so little is absurd.
On topic... I'll always throw the pizza guy $2-$3. Depends on my financial situation, and also the conditions of his delivery. If there are multiple people paying, we all usually throw in $1 each for tip.

I always tip. The local place where I order from is called Pizza'N'Pasta and the owner treats me very well. I usually get 50% off all pizzas including pickup and delivery. Normally, they don't deliver any orders under 8 bucks, but for me he said that isn't a problem. So every delivery I usually tip anywhere from 5 to 7 bucks.
On pickups, I don't tip unless I get change back from a 10 or 20 and then I just throw it in the tip jar.

That was my argument when I worked at Applebees. Our manager would ramble on about food cost and how we were going to have to do something to get this right. I made a smart ass remark of "if you think cost is bad now, just imagine if you actually paid us more then illegal immigrants".......everyone thought it was funny, except him.
