Confessions of a former pizza delivery guy
Comments (6)A friend of mine used to own a pizza place and she started refusing to deliver to certain areas. The drivers weren't comfortable and she said she wasn't going to force them into uncomfortable situations. Certain apartment complexes they would still deliver but told the people they'd have to come out and get their food at the curb. It got to be too much for her and she technically sold the place but in reality gave it away. It died shortly after....See More**URGENT-Tip Furniture Delivery Guys?-Coming Soon
Comments (19)So I'm a day late on this but I'll chime in and say yes, I tip, if the service is good and the folks are polite etc. I figure the $20 or whatever means more to them than to me, and I'm lucky that I'm not the one hauling heavy stuff for a living. That's purely personal and no reflection on someone else's tipping or not. The exception? When I waited months for my gorgeous, big, heavy desk to be delivered from NC... This desk with hutch weighs several hundred lbs. The delivery guys: one was about 90 lbs, the other had a broken foot. They asked my husband (who had just had hip surgery) and me (5 mo's pregnant at the time) to help them carry it, otherwise they would send it back to NC! It ended up in the garage until we could hire someone local to carry it upstairs. Can I just say for the record that those guys did NOT get a tip?!...See MoreDo I need to tip furniture delivery guys: Here Now!!
Comments (10)"they are paid a salary for doing their job." My apologies but this is an assumption. The guys who delivered our furniture many moons ago were off-the-book friends of the store owners' son. They got 50% of the delivery charge and whatever tips they earned. Another store I used to do business through had a similar policy. It would be unfair to say all delivery people are paid employees of the furniture store they are delivering for. That is unless it's a brand like Levitz or Ashley....See MoreHow much tip do you give for take out?
Comments (53)It's not just chains- I've personally worked for two independent restaurants, one mid level and one very high end fine dining, that calculate taxes based on assumed tips. Most servers will receive paychecks for $0.00; the $2.13/hour the restaurant owes them is completely consumed by taxes, so tips are literally all they take home most of the time. And if your state has income taxes they are the last to be taken out of a paycheck, so your server will get hit at tax time for all the state taxes there wasn't enough In her paycheck to cover. Here's another one most people don't know about- the 1-3% to run your credit card is often taken out of your servers tips! It's the same as any industry, if you haven't done it, you have no idea. Poor service? By all means, show your displeasure in your tip, I do! But no tip because you assume takeout is no work? That's just cheap. Some restaurants are moving to a no tip model for many of these reasons; Joe's Crab Shack announced they would be switching to a higher set wage and no tips, and they have already said the menu prices will rise accordingly. Good food, good service, cheap prices- pick any two ya like, but you can't have all three....See MoreUser
