Tipping the pizza guy/girl

[Dead Children Speak No Lies]

I usually tip between 0 and bugger all. Tips aren't a big thing down under.

I just round up too, it's not my fault their job sucks.

I tip very well in bars and taverns and other places of drink.

Pfft, atleast we weren't the pizza delivery guy stealing from the blind.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

better than pizza hut

Pizza hut = :zombie:uke:

...speaking of tips.... you know what REALLY ANNOYS ME!!?

Tipping cab drivers... why oh why must we tip them?
Especially the ones who do not get chanrged by the meter (like in DC)
I tip like 2 bucks, which is not a lot, and everytime I give them those lousy two bucks I hate every time... enlighten me: why are we tipping cab drivers?!

I just toss them something rounded to the nearest 5 and say keep it. Don't feel like waiting for change, as if I take a cab, I'm likely in a big city, and also in a hurry.

same here. though I tip better when they drive me home from a bar.

 

[Captain Beard]

Well, I don't recall if I tipped him or not, but in SF last year, Tyler, Eric and I got in a cab, and asked him to step on it. Shoulda tipped him if I didn't, we were almost airborne on hills. First time I was ever scared when drunk. But damn did he get us to the hotel in a hurry.

Aye, same here

 

[AALLGOD]

I am a pizza delivery guy right now, although that job will be hopefully changing soon. But yeah, I don't like it when people don't tip. I keep a list of the addresses that piss me off with their stinginess, and enough no-tip trips earns them my shit in their mailbox.

 

[Captain Beard]

Sounds like you don't deserve a tip. Tips are bonuses, not requirements, they made a mistake in training our generation to believe we're owed more than we put into things.

 

[Captain Beard]

They probably thought you were serious.

 

[Lunar Still]

Well, maybe it would have been funnier if it had sounded like a joke when you posted it.

EDIT: ^What he said.

 

[Captain Beard]

He used dry British-style humor, that's the problem. You've not watched enough Monty Python lately I bet.

 

[Shpongled]

shit

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

They probably thought you were serious.

Considering the vast amount of black friends I have, and the fact I rarely post seriously they should know better.

Nothing about his post sounded like dry british humor..

but ok, haha I get it

I actually watched Erik the Viking last night.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

btw... I just thought about how long has it been since the last time I ordered pizza :zombie:

 

[Captain Beard]

It did take me a moment to parse that he was being facetious. I can see where people paused. Careful with that deadpan.
