Today, I was the only driver at the pizza place I work at, since it was the morning shift. My recently made ex-boyfriend ordered pizza for delivery. Guess who got to take it to him. And guess who got a 34 cent tip. FML

MagickAngel tells us more.

OP here! I'm really surprised this was published! Let me clear up a few things. I do use my own car and I make less than minimum wage here in Michigan as a driver. I was actually in an accident because I was delivering last month so my tips have been going towards repairing my car. I put about $20 in gas in my car a day and the opening shift starts at 11 AM. I was not the closest place to my ex, in fact it's a 20 min drive to where he was working when he called and asked me to bring him pizza since he couldn't leave the garage he works at. He knows I am the opening driver right now because I hadn't replaced my headlight after the crash yet. The 34 cents was the left over change after I gave him back his cash. We broke up just over a month ago after 2 and a half years living together

wow immature much? to me it doesn't make much cents..

If you're that upset with someone, why would you order pizza from the place they work at?

Why should you tip a pizza delivery person? All they do is drive. The company is supposed to pay them, not you.

The same reason you tip a waitress? You're paying for the convenience of delivery on top of having the food made for you.

Well, I think tipping in general, is pretty stupid. I see the point if the system is designed to depend on tips, but why is it in the first place? Maybe it is just because I come from someplace where you don't tip. I dunno.

Pretty sure it's the same for delivery drivers as it is for waiters. They get paid less than minimum so they're actually relying on your tips. I work in a job making a little over minimum wage. I don't really think we deserve tips but I appreciate them a lot. I say thank you to every single person that tips. Sometimes those tips are what gets me through to next pay day.

that's 34 cents more than what you had.

Who? The suspense is killing me.

You are lucky you got a tip... Tips are for being nice and professional not something you should expect from every person you serve even if you are nice.

If he tips pizza delivery people 34 cents, good riddance to him!
