    Default RANT: Tip Me You Fuckers!

    OMG, sometimes I wonder if people even use their brains, or think period.

    Today was a shitastic day at work. I did 11 deliveries and only made $31.00 ($5 of that my boss gave me because she felt bad for the shitty tippers). Allows me to elaborate on this ass day.

    Start off by coming in at 10:30am. There's only 6 drivers on shift today instead of the usual 10-12 for the daytime, so my boss says it should be good money today. However I know it's going to be a slow day when instead of 2 caterings to deliver right away, I only have one (as well as the other drivers), and it's not due until noon.

    So I get to take 2 deliveries before I need to leave for my noon catering. First one was nice and gave me over 10% tip, so I was OK with my next run being a No Charge run where I got nothing. Well, I dealt with it, I wasn't OK with it. I don't deliver for goddamn free. So then I get another right before my noon catering, and it's at a residence. I deliver it to the customer, it's $19.07. He hands me a stack of cash and says "Here's $24, keep the change." I thank him and go back to my car to record my tip.

    Looking at the money, it's only $19, not $24. The fucker didn't even give me enough to pay for his meal, and he had shut the door real fast on me. Not having time to go back because I needed to go back to work to pick up my catering, I took a quarter from my own car and put it in my money pouch, giving me an 18 cent tip which was mine anyways.

    Then I go to take the catering out. The place takes longer than most runs to get to. it's also a big bill, $253, and I think I'll at least get 10%, which is standard. Even 5% since it's in a shitty part of town will do. So I set up at the place, am polite, friendly, etc. My presentation kicks ass. The customers rave about how nice the presentation looks, how well I did, etc.

    They hand me a check for the order.

    They left NO TIP. None. Since I can't solicit, or basically do shit to ask for a tip as it is against the rules, I smile through my teeth and leave.

    Now for a mini rant:

    Hello? I'm so sure that the fucking $3-$5 delivery charge that's tacked onto the bill seems to break the bank, but driver's don't see any of that! We rely on our tips! Fucking 10% is standard you bitches, just like any other tipped employee! I use my own car, put the miles and stress on it, get to my orders on time, and use my own gas so you don't have to fucking come get your own goddamn order! Fucking tip me! There's times I want to get there promptly, so by the time I'm at the customer's address in front of them I'm out of breathe. And sometime's people don't even tip then!

    I see this as a familiar situation for a SC customer too. It's like a fucking custy paying cover to the club, and then getting a dance from a dancer and not paying! FUCK! She isn't the club, you paid the club, now you should pay your dancer for her fucking services!

    Nobody says that my work HAS to have delivery services!

    To top it off, most of the day people tipped less than 10% on their orders. I know I at least deserve this; even after only a week I am one of the top drivers already. Today was also full of a lot of less than a fucking $1 tips. Even if your order is less than $10, you should still tip more than a $1. I don't care if that's 10%; if someone actually used their vehicle to get you your food for your convenience, at least give them $2! The 18 cent tip was not even fucking worth it.

    Do people even realize how taxing being a delivery driver is on the delivery driver's car?? Having to start the car and shut it off multiple times is bad for the starter, stop and go traffic isn't good either, and you put a shitton of miles on the car.

    /rant.

    Is there a sign that says free delivery? or is it kind of a thing that your company hasn't made clear to tip? cause that sucks.

    Oh wow, that is a sucky day. Just remember that you are due for a fabulous one full of great tippers. That's your karma for smiling through your teeth at the cheap fuckers.

    The company says you should tip your driver, standard is 10%. However they don't tell the customers over the phone that, it's implied. Sucky thing is, to the people who aren't clued in to this standard courtesy, we drivers can say nothing to them to get tipped.

    Fucking come on, you tip your pizza delivery drivers as a common courtesy! And the pizza place doesn't tell you it's expected either, you should know it!

    If you don't know the standard etiquette for tipping, don't use the service.

    sorry you had such a crappy day. i agree, tips are critical! it was one of the points i always disagreed with my ex (tipping is very rare in taiwan).

    i always tip 15% or more depending on the service. i know service people depend on that and their regular wages were low, often below typical. my ex was always claiming i made that up. *sigh*

    but i can't believe you have to pay for your own gas though! that sucks! they should at least pay you some stipend on the auto use.

    *hangs head in shame*

    Pizza delivery drivers usually only get the measly 5c or whatever is the change from me as a tip. I'm one of those people you would love to run over because they don't tip.

    For me, I thought the company would be re-imbursing you for fuel and paying you a little extra for the use of your car (fuel, etc) either in your per hour wage or in your end of week cheque ??

    Then again I have never been a delivery driver for anyone regardless because of what you are going on about above and because there are more people like me, who do not tip because they don't realise they need to do so, then there are 'educated' people.

    ETA: I think delivery drivers here in Aust. even Pizza Hut ones get a better per hour wage.

    No GCG, we don't get reimbursed for anything.

    I really wish that I was allowed to "solicit" for tips, especially tips I earned!

    I liked being a delivery driver (pizza) but the lack of tipping was horrendous. Made me furious- without the tip money to offset my car expense, I had to find another job.

    Heh, I guess stripping doesn't look so bad now, huh?

    No it doesn't, but when I remember what I wrote about stripping a week ago (I Just Cant), I know that stripping just isn't going to be an option again. I need job experience, and I really do like this job, just today was shitty.

    Eventually I'll be in the automotive field and happy, just got to be patient...

    On another note, I found out the other delivery driver that got hired the same time as I did, also named Michelle, was ALSO a stripper here in Tucson too! LOL small world!

    Tipping isn't as common in down under, right? Your delivery drivers must get paid more.

    well, at least you should be able to claim your auto expenses on your taxes (insurance, gas, maintenance, maybe wear & tear/depreciation).

    disclaimer: check with your tax advisor!

    have you spoken with the other delivery people? either to compare the average expected take, better days/times/schedules, trade warnings on cheap addresses (e.g. the $19.07-cheap bastage), areas you should be extra careful of (had a really bad experience, be careful out there!), etc..

    btw always count the change/payment. if you're short, you'll probably have to make up the difference than the customer being blamed later on.

    how about pretty outfits for the known guy orders? combine your two professions. maybe you'll get bigger tips!

    Haha, I wish! I have to wear a grey polo shirt, khaki pants, and a hat as my uniform. Not sexy.

    I believe I'm on the best shift- there's day and night which starts at 4pm-10pm. I don't expect many people would order from a deli for delivery at night like so many would with pizza, so I'm sure days makes more, which I'm doing.

    You're cute enough to find a bartending job, or even waitressing....There's nothing wrong with still using charisma to make mad tips.

    Okay, so your company says you aren't allowed to to ask for tips, right? Maybe the customers don't know that it is customary? When you hand them the bill, can you say that the total is $xxx.xx before gratuity.

    Then you aren't asking or even pushing for tips, just letting them know that it is customary. Adding those two words will go a long way.

    I stiffed people on tips because I didn't know it was expected. It is a fine line we walk socially, because if you offer to tip the wrong person, they will be insulted.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    alex rodriguez uses his natural talent to make $25MM. nothin' wrong with someone using their natural abilities for bigger tips.

    dress code, huh? well, that sucks.

    how about a couple of sizes too small? just make sure you change back when you get back to the deli.

    LOL Snoopy, I wish.

    As far as waitressing or bartending: most places around Tucson want you to have experience to tend bar, and I tried waitressing at an SC.... hmm...maybe I'll go back. Maybe it was the club I was at, but I hated it. That's the only place I'd want to waitress, but only problem is I'd really want to dance. I'm sure I'd get over it though...

    Hmm...

    I think you should take Paris's advice - sounds like a good way of reminding people without really asking.

    Okay. I have learnt something invaluable today. Thank you.

    I would also second Paris's post. That sounds like a good way to get around asking for tips without explicitly asking and thus educating the uneducated... or even reminding the educated.... ???

    There are some horrible tippers in this town. I absolutely refuse to run deliveries from my store because not only do they not tip, but I hate wasting my time setting up their party for free (like you mentioned).
    I know it won't make things any better, but when I waitressed here, tips sucked too. People really don't get it!!



    Because there ain't no tits on the radio

    If you all read my thread from last week "I Just Can't", you will see that I will NOT bother with dancing again; that time has passed. I am past the point in my life where stripping is the answer to any money problem. No offense, but NO! I will NOT go back to dancing, and for 2 bartenders need experience here. I am retired from dancing, I will miss it, but that is that!

    I also called the only SC that's hiring waitresses and they require you to work at least 3 days a week. Since I'd need to work at night for that, I'd need to be there until 2:30am and then have work at 8am in the morning. I can't do that.

    I'm just ranting people, not looking for another job. I like this job a lot.

    I've noticed that if you tip a delivery person in the state of Az they freak out. They stutter and stammer and barely know how to react. I seriously think that this is the WORST state evar when it comes to tips for the people who live off them.
