If there is a job that people accept tips, but there is some kind of fee for the service. Remember that those people prolly get no part of that fee. Pizza Guy, Waiter, Skycap.
But isn't the upside of being a food delivery man is that hot women will have sex with you just for bringing them food? That is what I have seen according to the movies.
Speaking of food prices, why is there such a big difference from one Jack In The Box to the next, when they're literally a mile apart? I went to the one by my girlfriend's apartment tonight and it was $2.29 for bacon and cheddar potato wedges and $1.59 for 3 mozzarella sticks. Unfortunately, they were closed because apparently someone was late for their shift. So, I drive down the road literally less than two miles to the next one. I pull up and ordered, and while sitting there waiting for my total I see that the potato wedges are $2.99 and the mozzarella sticks are $1.89. That's more than a dollar difference! I can understand prices being different from city to city or region to region, but a couple of minutes apart? Really?
I guess I wasn't aware that fast food chains didn't set standard prices. I think they do on certain items though, to fall in line with their advertisements. I've just never seen that big a difference between two stores in such close proximity.
What I always find funny about these threads and the waiter ones is the hypocracy in them. In the waiter thread there will be 50 people talking about how this is how waiters make their money, and they deserve 20 percent regardless of how bad they suck, which can be $10-$50 or more depending on the restaurant. Waiters walk back and forth and use none of their own money and maybe spend 15 minutes total on a table. A delivery driver is buying his own gas and getting wear and tear on his car and can spend up to an hour on a single delivery, yet people think they are getting juiced because they are charged a dollar and give no tip. Am I the only one who see's this as a moronic way of thinking? I think if anything else it should be the other way around. I always tip my driver because he actually is doing me a service. I think the 20% on top of what some restaurants charge is already going way overboard to bring my food to me from 20 feet away. Its not like they are cooking it or doing anything special to it. They ask you what you want and bring it. The waiter tip is one of the biggest acepted scams in the business industry.
