I admit, I average 15% for tips. Then it is a sliding scale. I walk into a place figuring 15% EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE...the amount goes up to 20-25%. HORRID goes to 0% and everything in between.

Or if you don't want to watch the video. There is a video game called Skyrim where you are an adventurer in a medieval like setting. When you pass by guards, they'll often say to you, "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee."Quoth Jester View PostOkay, someone is going to have to explain this one to me, because I don't get it.

Our delivery drivers get a flat rate per (circumference) area from the store, ie.: Area 1, $w.xx, Area 2 $y.zz, etc. They'd probably prefer an order percentage, as all the HUGE factory orders (five plus trips to the car!) are all in Area 1.
Not to defend corporate policy, but the major reasoning behind a delivery charge is in most cases insurance. It's a cost that has increased out of proportion to wages and food costs and having people on your clock driving around carries a pretty hefty liability. I'm sure they eke a little profit out of it though.

All I know for sure, is that I tip at least $5 per delivery, which is about 30% for what I get. When the time quote is for upwards of 90 minutes (I order online) but it's here in 30 mins, I figure I must be doing something right.Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.

Since this thread is about pizza and tipping, I've gotta ask - how much can you tip the Leaning Tower of Pizza before it falls over?

He doesn't tip because someone stole his sweet roll."I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

OT, but I lost Lydia in some Dwarven ruins while doing some Winterhold quests, but didn't discover her not following me until hours later. She got hit by a stray spell. Luckily, I have a power from a Black Book to prevent this, and I like my new follower, Serana, much better.Quoth Rainman View PostHe doesn't tip because he already feels sworn to carry your burdensTo right the countless wrongs of our days...

This isn't a pizza tip story, and I've always tipped no less than $2 on a $15 pizza delivery, so that's cool, but I was in a restaurant yesterday for lunch and my lunch bill came to $9.70. I said to the waitress, "Here you go" and handed her a $10 bill. She takes my receipt bill and says, "Okay, I'll be right back with your change!"
I said, "No, no, that's your TIP. I think you do a pretty good job and so you deserve that. I'm paying the bill with my debit card."
"That's very nice of you!" she said excitedly, her eyes wide with delight. I knew I made her day, so I decided to compliment her some more. "I know how it is for employees like you, making most of your money in tips, so it's always good to get someone who tips pretty big once in a while." The waitress was smiling very big, and she shook my hand and wished me a good day. THAT is how it's supposed to be done! Well...not giving your pizza guy or waitress a 102 percent tip, but letting them know that you actually CARE and APPRECIATE what they do!
