10 Dollar tip left on $1450 worth of Pizza

Conventional wisdom dictates that if you can afford to have food delivered, you should be able to afford the tip. Not always.

On Tuesday, a Reddit user named Jfastman uploaded a photo of a receipt for a pizza delivery that included 85 pizzas totaling $1,453. "My friend delivered 85 pizzas today and got a $10 tip," he wrote. The story kicked off a fiery debate prompting dozens to write comments such as "The delivery guy deserved more" and "Ten dollars is cheap!" Others insisted that no one could realistically expect to receive a 20 percent tip on such a large order.

Strong top comment:

"I love visiting Japan. No tipping, no tip jars. They pay their help properly and don't leave it to me to figure out what is "the right" pay. I'm not there to evaluate your help and figure out how to compensate them. I'm there to relax."

"Although no one exactly knows how tipping originated, one theory dates back to the late 1400s in Germany when a silversmith wrote a note to a patron that read, 'My apprentice helped with this and would also appreciate a tip.'"

Fk that guy.

lets be honest if that person (or more likely a company) can dropalmost 1500 on pizzas they can tip more than 10$ lol... 20%? prolly not but maybe 50-60 i'd be content with that

I love Japan and Korea too. The service is 100x better than in the US or Canada, people don't look at their jobs like they just have to be there and resent it like in North America. Oh, and there is no tipping there.

There is no tipping in much of the world, and better service. So the argument that tipping encourages better service seems not to correlate well in reality (maybe there is a theoretical benefit but it is overcome by the poor culture and entitlement of service workers in the West).

I think the main problem is that in the West, people say something like, "You should tip them, look how little they earn." Whereas in other countries people say, "If you want to earn more, you should educate yourself and get a job that a monkey couldn't do" and "Why would this person deserve more money for doing something than any idiot could do? Learn some skills."

There is a really different attitude toward entitlement in Asia compared to North America. For example, you being poor is looked at more as your own problem and lack of work ethic, and lack of familial support, than some kind of obligation for random people in society or the government to fix.

Two thoughts:

1. I hate this new trend where waiters and drivers and people like this post up pictures of lousy tips.

2. That was a ****ty tip. For 85 pizzas, I'd at least have tipped $50.

Fk that guy.

lol

[WaittWhatt]

**** man

I know i'm not the only one that hates tipping.

if i buy 15 dollars worth of food they want me to leave 3$+ wtf that is like 20 bucks easy.

I do it anyway because society dictates I should

Fuk this ghey earth

but on the posted 1500 order around 50 dollars should be given I mean that is a lot of pizzas to move around holy fuk

agree. this crying about tips thing will get tired soon

[Ascendency]

What if u threw a party and u only had 1500 and want to leave yourself some spare money? (Hypothetically) go full broke just because of the expected tip

not everyone is rich and i dont see any problem with that

P.s: in on first page

[SoLongAstoria]

a $10 tip is good.... why the **** are they complaining? you don't have to tip more money just because you're having a lot of pizzas delivered. the delivery guys aren't even the ones making the pizzas usually so its literally almost no extra work for him (outside of having to carry quite a few pizzas out the door.

also who the **** orders 83 pizzas?

[CobberRuss]

Japan and Korea

Agree 1000%

Fk that guy.

This. First thing I'm going to do when they invent time travel is do everyone a favor and murder that guy.

[JumpTheGun]

it's either tipping or a fixed 10% or so service charge

tipping: motivation for better service

service charge (staff do not get any): no motivation, just do the bare minimum

[onelifenoregret]

Don't like being stiffed by tight asses, dont work a job where your income is based upon the graciousness of the person you're serving.

I am aware that if they don't make minimum wage that their company is to cover the difference

[crsarellano]

im sure there was a delivery charge in that 1500$ so **** their tip.

and chances are if he had a suv he coulda fit all 85 pizzas in there. so its not like the **** made multiple trips. tipping is a sign of generosity. enjoy your 10 dollars

Hopefully waiters and drivers will be replaced by monkeys, or dogs with a backpack strapped to them or something. That is the level of intelligence required for their job. They should not feel entitled to anything. They are operating just above the level of a zombie.

damn i wish i could have seen the pizza boy driving with all of those pizzas. would have most certainly robbed his ass

cant believe it took this long to post this...




























































who was phone???

I can't imagine how worse service could be here if there wasn't incentive for tips

last time i ordered a pizza o nthe side of the box it said "be good to your driver. the delivery charge does not go to him so tip if you get great service!"

i'm still sure it goes to the driver for gas though

[TroyLeroy]

Carrying 85 pizzas >>>> $300 tip
all the delivery guy did was carry the pizzas to them, which would only take like 3 minutes max to get them out of the car to the guy in several big bags

dont really see much of a problem here, it's a delivery guy not a waiter guys pls

edit: if you had to make all those pizzas then maybe a little more money wouldve been good but the tippers doesnt know that

i used to deliver pizzas. where i worked, i also made pizzas. most of the time i was making the orders i was delivering. regardless of the size of the order, delivery fee is always $1. I delivered 30 pizzas once, was about $460, gave me $5. I made over half of the pizzas myself. took me forever to load/unload them all too.

[Zerafian]

Id tip him for the gas it took him to drive to my location and the work it took him to load the pizzas and unload to my place in this particular instances, not on a normal single pizza delivery. Chances are he got help loading them in the car...and who knows maybe he got help getting them out.

$10 tip is perfectly fine IF...IF he didnt do all the loading and unloading by himself.

now if he did it ALL on his own I probably would have gave him $30-40 or so.

You dont fukin tip pizza delivery guys a % you tip them for getting to your door quickly and helping with gas. I usually tip $3-6 on a $20-21 order,depending on how fast he gets to my apartment. The pizza place is about a 5 mile drive.

I always write in "delivery instructions" If pizza gets to me hot and cheese still gooey you get more money.

[ProteenBrah]

This tipping thing is seriously getting out of hand. Last time I went to a pizza joint to pick up a pizza that I had ordered by phone, the girl at the counter circled the tip line on my receipt with a pen... Tipping was supposed to be a reward for good service, apparently now swiping a debit card and handing someone a box with food in it is worthy of a gratuity.

place i used to work at: $1 delivery fee. how much of it do i get? $0.40

He was a ****ty tipper.

ive confirmed with pizza delivery drivers that they get it lol. a misc pizzahut driver told me he gets it too. fk tipping bro. im not their employer. if the service is there ima get it but unless you do something exceptional for me, you're just doing ur job and dont deserve a tip IMO. You better bring that pizza in, plate it for me, put a napkin on my lap and sprinkle some chili on for me lol
