Come on People...Tip the Pizza Delivery Person!!!


Zach has a friend that recently got a job as a pizza delivery person for Papa John's. When he leaves their building for a delivery he actually has to clock out. The only money he makes while he is delivering is what he gets in tips. On Halloween he made about $3 an hour! He said that usually when he delivers to the more affluent places they tip him $1 or $2. When he delivers to people of more modest means he usually gets $5. Seems a little backward.

The next time you order a pizza think to yourself, "How much is it worth to me to not have to go pick up my pizza?" Seriously, wouldn't you rather just give a good tip than have to go get the pizza yourself? Also, if you aren't home and your kids order pizza make sure they know they should give the delivery person a tip.

And while I am on the topic of Tips...what is up with the "Tips Gladly Accepted" sign at the Chili's take out door? I don't tip the people at McDonald's to hand me my food in a sack over the counter. Why am I supposed to tip the person at Chili's for handing me my food over the counter in a sack?
