    We used to fight over the deliveries to the strip clubs. Not just for the nudity, but strippers always tipped great. They had a bunch of cash that guys had been tossing at them all night and they'd share the wealth. One tipped me $10 for 1 pizza, which was probably only around $10-11.

    My brother doesn't even tip in restaurants. He says that if they don't like it they can find a job that pays better. The prices are high enough as they are, why should I have to pay even more to someone that is doing their job.

    It's true that being a regular customer and a generous tipper gets you treated above average by staff. Not limited to restaurants either. I am a regular at this nail salon, where they all know me and I tip well. 4-5 days after getting a regular manicure (they usually start chipping at this point) I had ripped a nail on a box at a store around the corner, so I popped in an asked if they could fix it. The girl redid my entire nail from scratch for free, and refused to let me tip her.

    I tip no less than $3 for food delivery. I've gotten 2 coffees and a bagel delivered for a grand total of $6, and I still tip $3. I've never seen anyone charge a delivery fee except for like Dominos, luckily I have other options.

    I was mainly saying it for Biggest Wave's benefit, I wasn't giving you shit for not opening the YouTube link. I often skip them too, especially if it goes to a long ad you can't skip right out of the gate.

    yeah you can. They never cook it right

    They did when it came out... now it's just garbage

    I would rather have a Little C's pizza than that shitty pan from Domino's.

    I got delivery a few weeks ago... gave the guy a little over 15 percent, I just round it up.

    He goes "Thanks a lot man, that's more than I've been tipped at my last three deliveries"

    "You're shitting me"

    "No, have a good night"

    That's fucking sad right there. Goddamn people are so cheap sometimes

    I always tip in restaurants and pizza delivery guys, but I don't disagree with your brother saying, "if they don't like it they can find a job that pays better."

    If everybody got a better job we wouldn't have waiters or pizza delivery people. And I'm sure for many people it's not that simple. If he doesn't like the system he shouldn't use it, I think it's pretty arrogant to go in there and use the service then say that they should find a better job. He should just find another place to eat, preferably at home if he's going to be that way.

    There are a lot of jobs that pay minimum wage without depending on tips to make up the difference. I might be wrong, and you can answer this, but wouldn't a pizza delivery guy make minimum wage without tips anyway? Or is it like waiting tables?

    In my experience it's different. No place I worked paid below minimum wage, because you have to spend money to make money in pizza delivery, the biggest expense being gasoline. It probably wouldn't be worth it if they were paid like waiters and waitresses. Just being paid straight minimum wage or below minimum wage with tips wouldn't amount to very much money in the end when you take out expenses.

    Maybe HE should get a better job if the prices are too high for him, or at least cook his own food.

    Actually, he owns his own construction company and doesn't really care about the money; he does very well. He just doesn't think that tipping should be something. Just pay the people right and they will do a good job without needing a tip.

    Someone mentioned how if there are X amount of people or more they will add the tip automatically. They did this to my brother one time and he crossed it off paying only for the amount of the bill. When they approached him on it he said "I don't tip. If you don't like it, call the police", or something like that.

    your brother sucks.

    I'm serious though, I hadn't even seen your comment until you replied to me. I apologize if what I said was dickish, but I wasn't making any assumptions about what you said because I hadn't read what you said and I literally was not talking to you. But I apologize.

    It doesn't matter! If you do not tip... The entire restaurant knows it!
    The quality of your pizza suffers. I can only laugh at this!
    In the National average Tipping has declined 50 cents per tip or per hour for this type of job.

    It's just a few dollars, and they know where you live... No big deal..
