If you are paying separately for the delivery, what is the tip for?
Stop paying your employees with this one weird trick
The poorly-paid driver, who doesn't get any of that delivery fee. I'm fine paying that part, but the delivery fee is bullshit.
I'm not so sure we should lump in the pizza driver with all the other delivery drivers. Generally being a pizza delivery person is a decent first job and they usually work in the store too, and receive an hourly wage.
Not to say you shouldnt tip them, just not out of guilt.
It's not guilt, it's pity. It's a shitty job and they don't get paid well enough, so giving them a $5 tip helps them out.
And in a depressed economy like this town's, it may very well not be a first job. It may be someone who lost their decent factory job.
Its just awfully hard to make assumptions either way, I think is where I'm getting hung up. I could even see some people being upset that you pity them without actual reason to.
I'm not sure if its better to assume nothing or to pick a path really though.
Considering the website asks you if you want to tip them and gives you suggested percentages, I don't think anyone would feel that I was patronizing them by doing so. And honestly, if you get upset that someone is giving you money, you have a lot more wealth than any delivery driver I've ever heard of.
Its not the tip they wouldn't like, its the pity. You don't need to pity random strangers, you have no idea how their life is going.
I pity them because I pity anyone who is being paid shit wages. I don't know what Domino's pays but I know it isn't enough because big food chains do not pay good wages. It has nothing to do with their circumstances and everything to do with the company they work for not giving them what they deserve.
Also, they don't know that I pity them, so I'm not sure why it matters.
Right, I agree with you there. I guess I should invert my question. If you're tipping the driver, what is the delivery fee for?
These two costs seem redundant.
I don't disagree.
This is the only part of what you've posted in this entire thread that I agree with.
Wise up, man... You cost yourself a ton of extra money and came here to whine for sympathy and, deservingly, received none.
Really? You agree with Domino's charging twice what they did five years ago? You agree that you should be forced to use a coupon (again, something I did not know existed) when Domino's can obviously afford to charge less?
That's some real "hail corporate."
Was I supposed to call them and demand a cheaper pizza? Once again, if they can charge what they want to charge with a coupon, why can’t they just charge that all the time?
No, get it right. I’m not an idiot, I’m a liar. And a child abuser. And I’m lying about being sick for sympathy. Get with the program.
Edit: and a 46-year-old boomer, I forgot about that one.
Do tell me what I’m lying about. I do hope I get to post all the links about the huge con of me being sick and my amazing Mayo Clinic Photoshop that I worked so hard on again.
Also, I never said you called me a child abuser. I told you to keep up with everyone else who is telling me definitely true facts about my life.
