Do delivery charges go to the delivery person? Are they mandatory tips?

Funny that you ask I actually asked my pizza guy this weekend. It was a 1.75 dollar charge for delivery and he said he gets half. Im sorry but .87 cents is not enough for the driver.

Your looking at gas plus wear and tear and the people don't have much money in the first place. I usually give 3 bucks or so but no less I look at it as a convenience and if I don't want to pay the guy the extra I'll go pick it up. If you can afford a pizza spread the wealth around in this economy because you could be delivery pizzas next week.

No. Unfortunately for the pizza delivery person, they never see the delivery charge. So, if you do not give a tip on top of the delivery charge, then your delivery person is going to think something was wrong with the service.

Sometimes they do not think something is wrong the service, but they just do not think too highly of you. So, you are wondering where do delivery charges go? The restaurant adds delivery charges to cover costs of delivery.

Gas to fuel the delivery vehicle is not free, so they are basically charging you for that, at least. Some restaurants may provide nicer packaging with the delivery fee, but do not count on this. Pizza delivery people not only expect a tip, but if you do not tip them, they do not think too highly of the person they delivered pizza to.

It's not like they usually think they did something wrong, they usually think you did something wrong. There is no required tip, but pizza delivery tips usually run 15% to 20%. Do realize that the drivers are typically paid minimum wage and they depend on tips to make this job worth their while.

Times you should not tip: They make a mistake in the delivery. Driver gets lost and your delivery is delayed. The driver doesn't have the correct change.

The driver is not friendly or has an attitude. Obviously, when you pick up the pizza you do not need to tip the driver. According to this article, "Pizza drivers feel gas pinch, delivery charge HURTS not helps" "Let's get something straight.

The delivery charge is not part of the driver's tip and must not be confused as such. Yet, the misleading label has tricked a great many into lowering the tip, believing the driver received the extra dollar. Most customers pay at the door with the same $20 for an $18 order that used to be $17.

It is a loss of a dollar for the driver each time. The tiny raise in mileage makes the loss closer to 95 cents on each delivery. Thus, the delivery charge hurts the driver while the public believes just the opposite.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
