asshole pizza delivery guy
    #14092865 - 03/09/11 02:32 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

Up in NJ, I used to deliver pizzas all over the place.. worked in 3 different places over the years. I never flipped out or treated anyone like shit, even the few people that didn't tip. I know it's a job and you might have had a bad day, but I'm still paying you.

Last night I ordered a pizza from Papa John's - which is a 2 minute drive. I answer the door with a very friendly "hey! how's it going" only for the guy to look me over and then sigh (I was clearly younger than him).. didn't even answer me back. I didn't think much of it until I grabbed the pizza box to bring inside.. the guy held onto it and said "no it's okay you need to sign this" and slapped the receipt down on the box.

I tried taking it again being like "oh, it's okay I can just put it over here". The fucking guy still would not let go and said "no it's fine you can sign this right here" .. something like that but in a real dick voice. He puts the receipt right near his face on the box, and stares at me while I sign it. While I'm signing it, he says "the pizza JUST came out of the oven so it's really hot".

I sign a tip and he storms off.. like I can hear this guy stomping almost. He was sort of feminine too if that makes a better mental image. Still though, only little kids stomp when they're pissed.

Anyway, this huge story probably made it sound like a much bigger deal. I figured it would bring other people to share any weird delivery stories..

that guy sounds like a dick

i used to deliver and i have to admit i did peel-out a couple times in
frustration but not usually over just tips

the worst was like an $80 order of like ten pizzas or something in the
pouring rain, guy took forever to come to the door where there was no
cover from the rain and i had to make a couple trips to my car. $2 tip

Pizza guys in my neck of the woods are all pretty cool.  My beef is with the order takers on the phone.  They sound like I'm burdening them by calling up and ordering pizza.  Then when it's time to give my phone number it gets REALLY annoying.  I'll start with my area code: "X X X...."  Then I don't know if they're waiting for me to keep going or wait for them to say okay.  So I'll wait a sec, then start giving the rest: "X X X", but before I can get the second X out, they go, "Hold on, what?"  :crankey:  So after I learn the NEW rhythm of reciting numbers, I follow it and by the time I'm at: "X-X, X---" she tells me to stop again.  What do you want from me?!!  I'm reciting it in perfect phone number rhythm (like Kevin James explains) and they still fuck it up.  Can't you type as you listen?  It's seven fucking digits.

Then comes the fun part:  "Oh I'd like to pay with a card."

"Okay can I have the number?"

"Sure, it's XXXX [3 second pause],  XX---"

"Wait... okay XXXX, then what?"

Don't have a pizza guy story.

But the bus driver wouldn't drop me off at the last bus stop last night.
It's the 2nd to last stop and he goes "Last stop!"
I'm like, "No, it's not. There's one more right over the hill." (I didn't want to bike over this huge hill.)
"There's no more stops after this one."

What a dick.
He fucking blew up at this old guy who couldn't find his bus pass too.
Like "I HAVE A TIGHT SCHEDULE TO KEEP HERE."
I was thinking, "We're 5 minutes ahead of schedule and have to wait for 1 minute at every stop. [Because we were so ahead of schedule.] It's not like there's a hurry."

I had a very similar experience just before I moved from atlanta, the jackass
wouldnt let me check my order before I paid so I told him the order was wrong
without ever checking it, told him to take it back and make it right and
closed the door. I called them, told them the guy was an ass hat and the
order was wrong having never seen it

45 minutes later the same guy shows up with a new pizza and I was already
chowing on chinese, I told him I never ordered a pizza and slammed the door

I believe in good customer service, paying customers dont need to be treated
like thieves, had the original order actually been wrong upon inspection I'd
have said fuck it, tipped him and let him know to kick the people making
pizza but he had to be a dick about it

Why would you tip him then?

Sometimes I don't tip even if the service is mediocre, let alone horrible.

I was real stoned and just felt really uncomfortable. I wasn't going to leave him with nothing, even though I sort of regretted not saying anything. Then again I honestly thought a lot of it was just in my head at the time, until right after when I thought about it some more.

Would you guys have not tipped? As dick as he was, I tried to imagine if he was having a horrible day or something. I did call the place and told them I didn't want him delivering to my house again, and that I wasn't trying to get anyone in trouble. I just don't want that guy handling my food and getting revenge :shrug:

Personally, I always tip.

But I tip a lot less if I don't like the person.

I'll tip more if it's raining regardless of the person though.

In your situation, I probably would've tipped enough to round the total off to the next dollar. But I'm a dick. And I hold grudges.

If the dude shows up on my porch with my pizza and it isnt cold, he gets $2. If he's friendly or otherwise helpful he gets $3-4. And if its a big order he gets $5-6. I try to tip around 20% most of the time though.

Really theres rarely a reasonable time to not tip the delivery guy. You tip your waitress at a resteraunt right? I've never delivered pizzas but it seems to me they work way harder than waitresses. A waitress only has to walk 30-40 feet to get your food. Delivery guy has to drive a couple miles and THEN walk about 20-30 feet, up some stairs (at least, at my house he does). Plus delivery guys dont give you all that obnoxious "you're my friend, I'm being friendly, leave me a big tip" bullshit that waitresses spew through a shit eating grin. I mean really, compared to waitresses pizza delivery guys are much more deserving of a tip.

Some people just have really bad days and have other shit going on. You can't always take this stuff personally. I doubt he saw your house and thought "oh this guy must be a fucking dick so i am going to be a dick back".

I've never had an asshole pizza delivery guy but oen time in like tenth grade I had this neighbor in like 5th grade who would always come over my house and chill with my little sisters and sometimes me so one time me and my friend convinced him to let us pretend that he's like dead and drag him across the lawn and shit. We ordered chineese food and this dude was dropping off my food and my friend go it and gave him the money and was like "get the fuck outta here, you didn't see shit" while I dragged my neighbor across the yard. The chineese delivery guy drove to the bottom of the driveway and sat there staring at us for a few mins while i dragged the kid across the yard. I think my neighbor eventually ended up standing up and the delivery dude saw, i don't really remember but if he didn't i bet we scared the shit outta that delivery guy.

There's also a delivery charge already tacked on to my order. The pizza guy gets part of that. Anything else I give him/her is a privilege.

Actually, that depends. I never got a cent of the "delivery charge" at any of the places I worked at. The 2 dollar charge went straight to them.

nope. that goes to the shop to pay his hourly wage. which, because he makes tips isn't shit. Most tipping jobs only pay an hourly of about 4 or 5 buck an hour and legally they can do that by saying your tips bring your hourly up to minimum wage (wether they do or not. at my job i get tips so they pay me $5 an hour. Rarely do I actually make minimum wage)

plus they use there own cars, which get torn apart from residential driving. Plus they have to do a lot of work at the shop, etc. And its a pretty dangerous job. Pizza drivers get jumped all the time. Especially where I am.

There's more reasons you should tip the pizza guy:

I agree with you one hundo but I am just saying I doubt this guy had any personal vandeta against OP. I would just assume he sucks at life and what he does and enjoy the pizza.

Haha yeah. I hate that shit. IMO waitresses don't deserve the tips they get. They don't do very much really. They walk back and forth from the kitchen to tables. And they try to get customers to like them. They're like unattractive, tired, Geishas :lol: .

I work in a resteraunt as a busboy and I work way harder than the waitresses. But in a lot of cases I make more than them so its all good :lol:

or is it like "Hey man, I need a fix can you drop by?" "Sure but i'm at work so you gotta order a pizza"

or is he gunna be like "fuck delivering this pizza on time, this guys getting a cold one. I gotta drop this 80 off"? :lol:
