I wouldn't assume that a delivery guy would have more than $15-20 in change. So if your order was $35 and you were paying with a $50, that'd be reasonable. But $50 on an $11 order is not.

I have had drivers pull the "oh I don't know if I have enough change" routine before and I patiently wait until they dig it all up, and then tip them out of it. But just as often I'll do the math ahead of time and ask them for a reasonable $ amount back, leaving them a $2-5 tip. Usually they come up with that amount no problem.

I wouldn't tip $7 for a single pizza order... but I would probably tip $7 if I made the guy come to my house twice. Odd situation.

PS: I actually had a pizza delivery guy call me 7 times (not maliciously, he just never left a message and I just never answered) and then show up knocking on my door an hour later because I had forgotten to give him the $3 internet coupon that I told them I had when I placed the order. Apparently if he didn't come back with the physical coupon, he was out the $3. The funny thing is I'm pretty sure I tipped him at least $4, so he would have been breaking even on the deal anyway...

PPS: I just came back from vegas - only place I've ever seen where you could pay for a pack of gum with a $100 bill and they wouldn't even flinch.

I guess in Vegas we are more customer service oriented. I pay my takeout orders with Bennies all the time without any issue. If I ever had a delivery driver that could not make change I would just send it back and call another shop who could take care of me.

next time just order more pizza, you can never have too much pizza

well, sometimes you can i guess

Uh huh, extra cheese.
Uh huh, uh huh, save a piece for me.

Pizza party at your house,
I went just to check it out.
19 extra larges,
What a shame, no one came.
Just us, eatin' all alone,
You said take the pizza home.
No sense lettin' all this go to waste,
So then I faced

Pizza all day, and everyday, there's cheese round the clock,
It's gettin' me blocked, And I sure don't care, for
irregularity.

Tell me,
Why'd you have to go and make me so constipated?
Cos' right now I'd do anything to just get my bowels evacuated,
In the bathroom.
I sit and I wait and I strain and I sweat and I clench and I
feel the pain
Oh, should've taken laxatives or had my colon irrigated.
No, no, no.

I was feelin' pretty down,
'Til my girlfriend came around.
We're just so alike in every way, I gotta say.
In fact, I just thought I might,
pop the question there that night.
I was kissing her so tenderly,
But woe is me.

Who would have guessed, her family crest.
I suddenly spy, tattoo'd on her thigh.
And son of a gun, it's just like the one on me.
Tell me.

How was I supposed to know we were both related?
Believe me, if I knew she was my cousin we never would have
dated.
What to do now?
Should I go ahead and propose and get hitched and have kids with
11 toes,
And move to Alabama where that kind of thing is tolerated.
No, no, no.

(no no no)

Ooh, I had so much on my mind,
I thought maybe I'd unwind.
Try out that new roller coaster ride,
And the guide...

Said not to stand, but that's a demand,
That I couldn't meet, I got on my feet,
And stood up instead and knocked off my head you see.
Tell me.

Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated?
This really is a major inconvenience, oh man I really hate it.
It's such a drag now.
I can't eat, I can't breathe, I can't snore, I can't belch or
yodel anymore,
Can't spit or blow my nose or even read Sports Illustrated.
Oh no!

Why'd I have to go and get myself all mutilated?
I gotta tell ya, life without a head kinda makes me irritated.
What a bummer.
I can't blink, I can't cough, I can't sneeze.
But my neck is enjoying a pleasant breeze now.
Haven't been the same since my head and I were separated.
No, no, no.

Takeout orders are much different than delivery orders.

I still say that if you can't break a 50 you shouldn't be delivering pizza.

A 20 is nothing, its like a modern day 5 dollar bill. If the pizza guy can't get that through his retarded skull - then so be it.

Don't let them jack you over with that "I don't have change" routine. They have change.

Maybe you can't get it through your retarded skull. In many places it is a rule put in place by the management, not the delivery drivers, to not carry any more money than absolutely necessary on them.

Let's go over this again - HIS EMPLOYER WILL NO LET HIM CARRY THAT MUCH CHANGE ON HIM.

Geeze - I swear - you should have to pass a reading comprehension test to be allowed on the internet!

it would be waaayyyy too much to expect someone with this guys level of intelligence to actually have read the OP.

the pizza guy LEFT the pizza and came back with change. :roll: you think that is a ROUTINE for more tip?

Not my problem. It is absolutely necessary to be able to change a 20 or 50.

I ordered a pizza and if you can't make change.....NOT MY PROBLEM.

And if the "evil management" doesn't accomodate?

Again, not my problem.

I've had these scumbags try this numerous times on a 20 and a 50. They have change.

Don't ever fall for the "I don't have change scam" that the delivery scumbags try to pull.

I use take out and delivery as the same term jackass and guess what I do get a $25 order delivered and never had a problem paying with a $100

and we, the intelligent ones that actually knows the difference between take out and delivery are to assume you are too stupid to know the difference and use the terms interchangeably??

ya, that makes sense.

I think he tried to pull a fast one and got caught with his pants down. Don't fall for the "I don't have change" scam.

 

[Gunslinger08]

This thread makes me incredibly sad for delivery people. Have a little empathy, will you? If you were driving around, knocking on strangers' doors, would you want to have a lot of cash on you? More cash = bigger target.

I guess I'm one of those scumbags - I don't ever carry more than 15-20 dollars on me per run. LIke I said - you have a 50 - sorry, either cough up a check, call my store and offer a credit card, or I'm leaving with the pizza to make up for the money I'm going to loose on you.

I'll just take the pizza back to the store, and it'll get taken care of. No big loss for me, no dinner for you.

moron.

so you honestly believe that this guy would rather go to another house, make a delivery, make change (oh wait, if he had given all his change to tall bill he wouldn't have had any change for the next customer, DUHHH) and then COME BACK?

you are the type that consumes a lot of saliva at restaraunts, of that i'm sure.

It's in all of their handbooks - policies can be ammended per market and per franchise on an individual basis.

Las Vegas isn't exactly the best example - I can understand why they'd need change, since alot of customers probably carry large bills on them while they waste their money gambling.

I'm going to try this one more time, then I give up.

In this thread, three different posters (including myself) who currently work or have worked as pizza delivery drivers have told you that we are not allowed by our employers to carry more than X amount of money on us.

We do not want to carry our own personal cash on us because either we don't want to lose our own money in the event a robbery does happen, or we simply do not have the cash (in DrPizza's case). If we do get robbed, the employer does not cover any personal losses we may experience.

How hard is it to tell the place that they need to have change for larger bills when you place the order? It takes all of 5 seconds, and in some cases they'll be able to accomodate you, and others they won't.

The worst thing that happens for us if you don't want the pizza because we don't have change is we lose a buck or two in gas, the store eats the cost of the pizza and provides free lunch/dinner to the employees with it, and you are blacklisted from ordering from our store again. Not really much of a loss for us.

Where did you cook up this conspiracy theory that all delivery guys are out to scam you?

 

[spidey07]

Ryan,

Its happened much more than once and I kick those scumbags off my property immediately.

"I don't have change"

"You sure? A 11 buck pizza and I only need 5 back"

"yep"

"well take the pizza back please, this is all I have"

"ummm, ummm, let me check.....oh wait! I do have change!"

"get the F off my porch scumbag"

That's much different than not having change for a 50 dollar bill. You are expected as a delivery driver to provide change for the expected bills customers are going to give you (usually rounding to the nearest 20).

I have had drivers pull the "oh I don't know if I have enough change" routine before and I patiently wait until they dig it all up, and then tip them out of it.

I wouldn't tip $7 for a single pizza order... but I would probably tip $7 if I made the guy come to my house twice. Odd situation.

PS: I actually had a pizza delivery guy call me 7 times (not maliciously, he just never left a message and I just never answered) and then show up knocking on my door an hour later because I had forgotten to give him the $3 internet coupon that I told them I had when I placed the order. Apparently if he didn't come back with the physical coupon, he was out the $3. The funny thing is I'm pretty sure I tipped him at least $4, so he would have been breaking even on the deal anyway...

PPS: I just came back from vegas - only place I've ever seen where you could pay for a pack of gum with a $100 bill and they wouldn't even flinch.

I guess in Vegas we are more customer service oriented. I pay my takeout orders with Bennies all the time without any issue. If I ever had a delivery driver that could not make change I would just send it back and call another shop who could take care of me.
