1. Absolutely free for the consumer that paid for the pizza. The cost of the napkins, plates, crushed pepper and Parmesan is built into the pizza price. Obviously, if you don't give them out on a large order, you will save that .05 for the company that treats you like shit, instead of getting a $15 tip and the company gets a return customer. Works both ways, buddy.
2. No, you are a contractor, doing a chosen job, who gets to deduct the gas and wear and tear as well as repairs off his taxes as well as receive a pre-agreed upon fee for what his "time" was worth. Stop the BS sob story and learn how business works, Mr. "Gen X'er"...
3. Never said anything about a 30 minute rule. I said he delivered it in under 30 minutes. It was a slow night. Learn some comprehension when reading.
4. Getting a tip at all after being a shitty delivery person who doesn't want to be bothered to actually do their job, ie...ensure the customer is happy, isn't from spite. It is because I was stupid enough to order delivery and pay that much more. A friggen $35 meal cost me $54 because I was a nice guy and gave an ingrate a job. If you don't like your job, find something else to do. But you agreed to do a job.There is an expectation. And no one will know to spit in the food before they got tipped because they won't know it is a crap tip. And it will be a minimum of 6 months before I order delivery again so likely they will be at some other pizza place doing BS deliveries, pissing and puking on peoples food.
5. And yeah, I know how tipping works. Been around longer than you have, X'er. LMAO
