Truth.
Delivery persons don't get compensated for car mileage or gas - they have to take that hit. Not tipping well is just an asshole thing to do, especially with today's gas prices.
Go shove something up your out-hole.
and you are a fvcking idiot. he tiped $3 on a $10 bill. THATS a great tip!
It's "tipped".
And rising energy costs increase OVERALL cost of living, as energy drives the economy. Since deliverymen have to buy their own gas AND generally make below minimum wage because tips are considered part of their income, they get hit with a double whammy.
Learn some economics people. I love how everyone considers 20% to still be sufficient, like we're still in the 90s Boom or something.
These days, I'm tipping service people who get lower than minimum wage and are reliant on tips as part of their income 35-40% in most cases*. This is delivery people, waitstaff, etc. Someone who already makes a flat rate per hour (bellboys, hairdressers, etc) still only gets about 10-15%, because that's just a "thank you", and they aren't really reliant upon it as livable income.
*provided they do their job. If your service sucks, your tip is going to suck. You get paid to do work....if you don't work, I'm not going to compensate you for it.
