I tip PIZZA delivery guys

I do NOT tip other delivery guys (furniture, Computer, Milk or otherwise) unless they do somthing extra for it. IE: Set up the computer, move in the furniture w/o scratching it, making me chocolate milk.

I don't tip for mail carriers

I tip for food, furniture, or flower delivery

does that 15% or $2 whichever is greater rule factor in the delivery fee that they tack on already?

like i see its $1 for each item on the list.
even if you get like garlic dipping sauce for whatever price it is, its another $1 added on the delivery fee

i hear from a friend who did this back during the 4.00 gas days of last summer..... of a 1.50 delivery fee, the owner of the place got half, and the driver got half. plus another .75 ot so per run. so each time they leave the store they do automatically make a buck or so, but thats their gas and maintainence money imo

i always tip the guys, i mean they deliver pizzas. even if they got all the delivery charge i'd still tip em. 10 bucks an hour aint shit (im assuming thats what they'd make with tips on a good day, after taxes), imagine if they have kids. BE NICE

dudes driving around with a bills pizza magnet on his 1980 ford taurus taking pizzas to lazy assholes like me so they can feed their brats

some people in that situation would just tune out and stick a needle in their arm and say fuck it, they never asked to be born.

i respect the struggle

'Cause when the smack begins to flow
Then I really don't care anymore
Ah, when the heroin is in my blood
And that blood is in my head
Then thank God that I'm as good as dead
Then thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess I just don't know
