Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.

  The poorly-paid driver, who doesn’t get any of that delivery fee. I’m fine paying that part, but the delivery fee is bullshit.

    I’m not so sure we should lump in the pizza driver with all the other delivery drivers. Generally being a pizza delivery person is a decent first job and they usually work in the store too, and receive an hourly wage.

    Not to say you shouldnt tip them, just not out of guilt.

      It’s not guilt, it’s pity. It’s a shitty job and they don’t get paid well enough, so giving them a $5 tip helps them out.

      And in a depressed economy like this town’s, it may very well not be a first job. It may be someone who lost their decent factory job.

        Its just awfully hard to make assumptions either way, I think is where I’m getting hung up. I could even see some people being upset that you pity them without actual reason to.

        I’m not sure if its better to assume nothing or to pick a path really though.

    Right, I agree with you there. I guess I should invert my question. If you’re tipping the driver, what is the delivery fee for?

    These two costs seem redundant.

      I don’t disagree.

    This is the only part of what you’ve posted in this entire thread that I agree with.

    Wise up, man… You cost yourself a ton of extra money and came here to whine for sympathy and, deservingly, received none.

      Really? You agree with Domino’s charging twice what they did five years ago? You agree that you should be forced to use a coupon (again, something I did not know existed) when Domino’s can obviously afford to charge less?

      That’s some real “hail corporate.”

        They didn’t charge you double.

        You volunteered to pay double.
