dumb move. as a delivery driver of 3 years, I would never step inside a residence, even in the nice neighborhoods.
Bigger home = more places to hide victims, buckets, and lotion.

I try to avoid it at all costs, but sometimes they keep asking lol.

Any of you carry weapons for self protection?

Yes I do make decent money for a kid my age I think, I also know how to save money. I don't drink, I don't do drugs, I don't party, I wear sweat pants, and I regrettably don't have a girlfriend.

I'v always been into cars, and loved s2k's so I saved and got one lol. I wanna start auto x ing and expiericing this car though. I want to take it to a legit track but if anything happens to my car im screwed l

You might make $15-20 /hr delivering pizzas but you also average -$5 (or more) an hour in fuel and wear and tear on your car. I delivered pizzas for a few years, years back, but I learned quick that your best bet is to buy a "pizza car". I always bought a 80s civic or corolla type car, ripped out the passenger seat and drove it until it died.

Anyone driving a S2000 to deliver pizzas needs to get a pizza car ASAP due to the fact that a full time pizza driver can easily put 3000-5000 miles on their car a month and S2k tires do not last very long.

i dont tip pizza deliveries because i always pick up mine. why tip someone on something you know how to do? i know it might sound mean but thats the way i feel.

i do tip at restaurants tho. watched the movie Waiting and made me think again.

I never tip when I pick up takeout lol Kinda feel like a dick sometimes but the cooks did all the work, not the counter person lol

And yeah, Waiting makes you overthink complaining at a restaraunt hahaha

So question for you guys:

If a pizza guy showed up to your house in a CR, would you be likely to tip more or less?
To me regardless of what you drive, I tip you the same amount as the next person. If you're nice, courteous and prompt when you deliver the pizza then you get a big tip!

Tipping the pizza guy is very important, if you get to be known as someone that doesn't tip other deliveries will be chosen over yours, leaving your pizza to sit under heat lamps longer than it would have.

Not only that, if a pizza guy takes 3 pizzas out on a delivery, and sees that one of the deliveries is to a known non-tipper, that one goes last. Not to mention it might end up under the air conditioner vent the entire trip...
