I treated the old ladies especially well and most of them couldn't afford to tip much, but hey, an old gal, a widow probably? Jeez, you got to.

I don't deliver pizzas but I do stock in a grocery store and at this store, the stockers have to drop what they're doing to go carry out groceries when the cashiers call us. It can make for a very long truck day when its busy during the day. I usually average about three to four dollars a day, enough to cover my lunch. People tend to tip better when we have to work on holidays and bad weather days, like the round of "snow" that just hit us, which I'm sure you folks up north wouldn't even bat an eye at. My dad is, in my opinion, pretty rude to waiters and such. He usually tips well but I always slip a few extra bills under my plate because I feel bad because I'm also that guy with the crap job that has to put up with people like him and am very grateful for whatever people will give me. Even quaters from older gentlemen help out. Even if I get crappy service I usually leave at least one dollar.

I didn't know that most people tip Pizza Guys at all till I was about 18. And personally, I think giving someone $2.50 for a tip to deliver my $14 pizza is outrageous. Do you tip carhops that much for walking your $12 worth of food out? I carhopped, and I wouldn't dream of that. A buck maybe, but not that much. Its a pizza, not a dine-in restaurant.
For the record, I tip at least 15% at restaurants unless the service is crappy. Then its a tossup wether I tip at all.

Also used to deliver Chineese food in the summers back in Brooklyn, was a master of shortcuts . Going down 1 way streets the wrong way to get to an address...always had plenty of apartment buildings to go to ....tips were good , but the best tip was always a scantilly clad hottie opening the door for her MooShoo !!!

I know all too well what can wind up in a bowl of soup or on a burger. Why would anyone risk pissing those guys off?
