There's a large portion of society that believes one should tip no matter the case. I don't necessarily subscribe to that school of thought. If an indivdual does a good job in the service industry takes care of you, they should be compensated for their effort and attention, period. What bothers me is if you get poor/no service, and yet are still expected to give a tip as if though you were adquately taken care of. Note, I'm not saying NO tip, but tip as though you would tip someone who provided good service. That's what grinds my gears.

My only comment here: Mmmmmmm onions!

Ok maybe a bit more: We not only have worked in the food service industry in our youth, but the kids have too. Without the tips our son rec'd while delivering for a franchised pizza place, he would have gone backwards fast due to gas prices and the MPG on his delivery vehicle. They pay shite, they are terrible to their employees and it's just a huge load of crap to deal with for such a minimal amount.

Oh yeah, Mmmmmmmm ONIONS!

If I eat in a restaurant, and get sh!tty service, no tip. You want to make an issue of it, I'll tell you why, in a rather loud voice, why your service was sh!tty.

If you deliver me a pizza... well, if it comes fine, you'll get a tip.

Luckily, I'm in the UK, where this is acceptable :-)

When you act like a douche, you get treated like a douche. I'm not talking about tipping here, I'm talking about those assholes who act like they own the world when they enter a restaurant.
I'm not directing this toward you, Scott. I'm just saying there are people out there like that.:-)

It's a longer drive for you, KidRock, but I have Padrons if the pizza is REAL good! :-)

Love pizza, but not the chain stuff.

Speaking of being treated like garbage by the owners, I knew a guy that delivered for the Hut a few years back. On delivery, a guy crossed the center line and crashed him. Hurt his back and totaled the car. Dude could only afford liability. After first telling him he'd be covered by his employer, they cut him loose a week later, with no way to pay for medical bills or a car(guy who hit him had no insurance). That's rough.

How would workman's comp not cover this? Further, and I'm by no means an expert, but I'm sure that a lawyer would have a field day with this.

What do you mean, "Embarrass is out of your delivery zone?"

Last pizza I had delivered was delivered to me while ice fishing on Shawano Lake about 6 years ago. We told him where to drive on the ice, to honk, and we'd wave him in to our ice shanty. The delivery guy said it was the most unique delivery he'd ever made, wanted a picture of him delivering it to the door of the ice shack.

Wife delivered pizza for Dominoes one summer while we were teachers in the LA area. Not a good experience for her.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Get that off my quote or I'm gonna toss my cookies, which will then make me lost my first cup of French press coffee! Don't do me that way!

Hah! Where I live we can't get 'za delivered! Also, I remember back in college in the 70s when it was Dominos cardboard! I understand they've improved quite a bit since those halcyon days.
