My son worked delivering pizzas for where his uncle works. He always looked forward to holiday weekends or big sports events on TV. His uncle told him and he found out that the drunker they are the better the tips! lol He stays clean and neat and gets the order there fast. Boss complimented him the second day he worked.
I always tip deleivery drivers of things like pizza. But I agree with the loud music and smile and be neatly dressed. Many will tip more then just like a waiter that they instantly like.If you can get regular customer that wil always help as they tend to think they know you altttile.
I don't know if others feel the same way, but don't break a five for me. If the tab is $15, you're going to get a $3 tip if you hand me 5 ones. If you hand me a five, you're more likely to get a "keep the change" response.
Had a driver hand me 10 ones (<$30 tab) once. He got three bucks for his trouble. He could at least have given me a five and five ones.
The problem with that is most people do not feel the same way.
If the tab was $15 and we handed them a 5 dollar bill and they didn't have anything smaller, there would be no tip.
i live in a small town, so theres only 1 place that delivers, and i think only 3 people that drive. i used to give a $4-5 tip, regardless of the amount of the order (usually under $30 though). then i learned (from the owner of the place) that they add a $3 delivery fee that 100% goes to the driver. so now i only give a buck or 2.
and honestly, the food isnt that great and neither are their prices, so more and more, hubby is driving 20 minutes away to get better, cheaper pizza. and no tip
none of this though, is within the driver's control, and is certainly nothing against them.

Where do you think their gas money comes from? Maintenance for driving their own car so much and depreciation? And that's not always the case. A lot of times pizza places will keep some of the delivery fee themselves and only give a percentage to the driver.
Wow! Good for you. Please get on the 10 and drive north for two hours because you sound like my kind of pizza guy.
Edit: Shoot. Just saw how old this thread is. Lost my big chance for "Hot and Fresh".
