Serious ethical question?!?!?!?

here's a tip! if the bar is crowded, over-tip your bartender on the first drink! first rate service all night.

Yep.

One of the bars I went to in college had an "animal hour" every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. During that time, all well drinks were half off. The bar would get PACKED about 15 minutes prior to the deal, but, because I had always tipped the bartenders well, I would always get my drink orders taken before anyone else would, even if I was standing 10 feet away from the bar. Meanwhile, everyone else would be clawing over each other like animals to get their orders taken

$3 - $5 regardless of what the food costs. I can't fathom why someone would tip a delivery driver $20 for a bigger order when the driver does exactly the same thing regardless of what the meal costs.

Up here, minimum wage is $10.70 an hour.

My neighbor's kid delivers pizza and gets $1.50 per delivery on top of his hourly wage, plus tips. It's not uncommon for him to make 40 deliveries in 8 hours and earn $85 in wages, $60 in delivery, and another $100+ in tips. That's $245 per night, although some nights it's under $200 with fewer deliveries.

I'd give the driver $70.00 minimum for a $60.00 order. Usually in those situation every party involved tends to pitch in more than required since their individual cost is comparatively low.

I gave up wasting time thinking about it. Unless someone completely ****s up, 20% and done.

I used to live in a flat up 96 stairs, that’s equivalent to 8 flights, but this was almost vertical like a ladder. We tipped any delivery guy that came up to the door $20-$30, the meal was usually only 1 pizza and a coke so about $20…..and this is in Australia where we don’t tip. I don’t remember how I managed to have that much money to throw around basically for being lazy. No kids and renting a flat up a ladder on the side of a cliff I guess.

I used to work a few blocks away from a great pizza place and a couple times a month I would order their pizza--due to one way streets and stuff like that it was actually quicker for the delivery guy to walk to where I worked and deliver it that way--I always tipped a little extra for that.

I used to deliver pizza. We got the same minimum wage as waiters/waitresses. Mileage was at the federal rate.
Some people took cash. They got paid $5 per run and no mileage. Didn't matter how many pizzas you had to deliver at how many addresses. It was $5 per run. It as very seldom they ever had just 1 or 2 deliveries during a run. Generally they'd be loaded up.

The only way you came out ahead was the tips. You learned pretty quick who tipped and who didn't. Guess who got theirs first?

That's roughly what delivery guys get here, more or less. Slightly more wage, the tips are way less and the delivery payments more, milage gets reimbursed tax free. Insurance companies probably lose out.

If theres a delivery charge, 15%. If not, 20%.
