Now that we have answered all the burning questions that concerns
the world, let me ask a silly one. What is the accepted tip to a pizza
delivery man (person?). I usually let the guy keep the change, but a
$0.50 tip doesn't amount to much. On the other hand, I sometimes feel
that it is stupid to tip at all.
May be I should just let the guy keep a slice of the pizza. Or is
two slices the accepted number?

However, if you are unhappy from poor service, by all means give him two slices, especially if it is Domino's pizza. -- Chip Rosenthal, Intel/Santa Clara { idi|intelca|icalqa|kremvax|qubix|ucscc } ! t4test ! { chip|news }

Tip? What's that? I am afraid that I am like most other students here at
college - poor and penny-pinching. It's basically a lousy place to deliver
a pizza if you are in it for the money. ("No, really, I LIKE delivering
pizzas for nothing!" :->) Wouldn't the same sort of 15-20% work though
in your case?

<pizza to go with no anchovies> Back when I was delivering pizzas (~10 years ago) $.50 was a good tip, however this was at a store in a college town where the runs were short and you could deliver 100+ pizzas on a busy night. Of course not everybody tiped or I'd probably still be at it :-) Still I could collect $10-15 a night, not bad. These days when I get a pizza delivered I usually tip at least a dollar or two, partly inflation, and partly because I know that pizza deliverers in a residential area have longer trips but deliver less pizzas. As to tipping with a slice of pizza, most shops provide some amount of free pizza to the crew, and they also get to eat their mistakes. -- ---- William J.

Around here, there is a "delivery charge" that varies between 50 cents and $1.50 or so; I always thought of that as the "tip" or payment to the deliverer. After all, the cost for the box or bag or whatever is covered by the money saved by the pizza joint's not having to wash dishes or clean up your table, so that extra charge has to be for the delivery itself. Do you mean that you tip in addition to such a charge, or in lieu of one? Will Martin USENET: seismo!brl-bmd!wmartin or ARPA/MILNET: wmartin@almsa-1.ARPA

Take this order for a Pizza Marinara, the tip will be 0.50
