Pizza delivery charge

[WildMatt84]

Now my go to tip for a pizza dude is usually 5$, unless they are ridiculously late. However I will say that when i get charged a 4$ delivery charge on top of my pizza price. I stop hesitate a little bit to fork over that Lincoln. Now i know that a lot of times those delivery guys dont see that delivery fee. Guess it just nags at this cheap SOB every now and then

My ex delivers Pizza on the weekends for extra money. She works her butt off and does pretty well. Some drivers not so much. If its a good driver a good tip is called for.

Agreed, I don't mind tipping the driver $5 as long as the fee isn't $5 as well. Hard to justify an extra $10 for one pizza that I don't feel ike going to get.

I tip a little better if she's pretty. Just sayin.

The delivery fee drives me nuts. They say it doesn't go to the driver, so then what's it for? Do the pizza places pay drivers for their gas?

[Mayhem]

I don't understand the delivery fee myself.

I think it pays the base of the driver. So they dont work on just tips. Not completely sure, but that is what I understood from a kid that delivers pizza.

Havent ordered in a while but I know if your a good tipper your food is never late the delivery guys remember and will do their best to get it ...usually means as soon as its ready. I slang pizzas as a teenager a little and believe me they remember the tips atleast we did.

Having driven for several years. The delivery fee USE to go toward driver mileage, but not anymore.

When I quit if we weren't tipped enough for minimum wage the company had to pay us up to minimum, hence the delivery charge.

There was also a big push on slow night to send drivers home early.

If an IRS agent/enforcer is reading I ALWAYS REPORTED all of my tips when I worked for the company 11 years ago.

Assuming no IRS enforcers are here, it is better to tip cash instead of credit card since credit card tip has to be reported by company to IRS as driver income. Cash tips are reported by the driver to the IRS as income on the honor system. Sometimes cash tips are lost, oops. Not that I ever lost any or failed to report ALL tips.

[WildMatt84]

So we pay a delivery charge because there is a chance that people won't tip enough?

The fee does not go to the driver. The driver is out trying to pay his bills, he has to buy his own gas. Tips are deserved. They have no control over where they are sent, poor management will have a guy driving across town from one run to the next. I tip the drivers well. They saved me from having to go get the pizza, saved my time, my gas, and keeps me out of the crazy traffic. No one wants to deliver pizza because they want to, they do it because they need extra income or can't find a real job and its their last hope. ...My two cents..

Never got an attractive female driver

I used to deliver pizza in college. If it's late: 100% of the time it's because of the kitchen, not the driver
