Planeden Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 yeah...theres a lot of success stories out there for those who can "take" the work...the owner of my franchise started out as a driver and now is one of the biggest franchises in texas owning something like 60 stores...he bought one and it just kept snowballing there's the stigma of the pizza guy that really bothered me at first until i realized how much i was making...laugh if you want at the guy knocking on your door...but keep in mind he's probably making the same if not a lot more than you...and he's working his tail off for it too to make sure things are right for you That's why I don't tip . Fortunately I like cold pizza and just order the day before. Of course I'm joking. Congratulations Dustin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time it looked like I might lose my job or when I actually got laid off, I seriously considered delivering pizza. Tons of guys on base/post in the military do it for extra cash. No stigma in my mind. Congrats and good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you didn't come and sit in my section at the OG. Lol. My wife is the same way. Embarrasses me when we go out to eat because she's real rough on servers. Luckily I'm the one that tips and pays but I feel bad for those guys and gals. Funny thing though. In all my time waiting tables, the vast majority of guests who were super rude, insulting, and just generally unpleasant usually left the best tips. On the flip side, it seems like the nicer people are who like to engage in personalized conversation and are almost friend worthy, give the lousiest tips. Sometimes none at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+olaggie01 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Anyone know of an refrigeration tech? We are looking at a buying a used fridge, but the seller says that it doesn't turn on. I think the compressor is shot but I want to get an idea as to the cost etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My typical order is in the $20 range, so $10 seems like it'd have to be there before I got off the phone . i like getting the inside scoop on tipping from the industry professionals. it is very handy.

Robb in Austin Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 My ex worked as a waitress for a few years so I feel somewhat compelled to tip well. But, that was when the 'standard' tip was 10% of the bill. At some point it became that 20% is the norm. I refuse to give someone a 20% tip just because. 10% ok. I'll tip well(>20%)if it's earned but not because I'm 'supposed to'. I get it that servers make most of their money off tips 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpb Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I'm a hypocrite. I hate and rarely tip as much as I expected to make in tips myself. I say expectED because I put my two week notice in yesterday and start my new job tomorrow at the hospital. No more restaurant for me. I'll be a nice guy and at least try to get my two weeks of shifts covered, but if I can't, the new job will take priority and I'll just have to apologize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planeden Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 A friend in law reviewed porn in college. She really didn't need such an extensive collection, so she tipped pizza guys with it. Apparently they fought over her deliveries, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
