My tipping rate depends on how much money have at the time, and whether the guy was quick. At the very least though, I let them keep the change. I hated it when people made me stand in the rain while I counted out 13 pence for them. Bastards.

Checks are a bitch. In this kid's case, he was calling in mommy's credit card on the phone and writing in .50 on the tip line. Bastard.

Yeah, so did I. How the hell it turned into the subject of what people tip the pizza guy is beyond me.

Actually, I don't mind not being tipped as such (unless is pissing down with rain, or a public holiday, in which case they owe me), but is it so hard to just say "keep the change"? Eh? Will that 17 pence REALLY make a difference to you?

MAMAMAMAMAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I'm = RULE!

I mean, come on. Why the hell should I? Delivery is bloody expensive enough as it is. And just let them try any funny stuff, right now I'm virtually on first-name terms with the folks over at Hackney Environmental Services.

And not tipping doesn't seem to affect our service in any way, we get a Christmas card from our local curry house. All hail Holloway Indian Takeaway!

if we ain't spitting in your pizzas when your enviornmental service isn't around, they can't prove a thing ...

MUWAHAHAHAHA!

But seriously. Actually, pizza buis is hardly dead-end. My boss started as a phone-bitch making $5.20 per hour, runs the store now (70k a year), and probably will be a supervisor in a year making the same. Ten years he'll be a regional manager at the rate he's going, making a couple hundred thou'.

Yes, service can be affected by tips unless you live in a bum-fuck dead area. If I'm leaving on five deliveries, and I recognize one of 'em as people who never tip, they're going to get their pizzas last.
