well delivery to home or to the table it's a job that depends mostly on tipping.......i always tip at least 15 percent and if i feel generous more so......it's a tough business i've been there

$60 for one large pizza?!? Are you kidding?!?

Who the hell made it? Emeril Lagasse? Wolfgang Fuck? I mean, Puck?

It might be cheaper for you to go to Italy and pick one up...

Damn!

On the bright side, if the lowest wage is $25 an hour, that would explain why I cannot recall ever once seeing an ugly Norwegian woman, ever...so you guys are obviously doing something right.

But $60 for a pizza? I say "No Way" in Norway!

Unless some hottie is delivering it, and then, well maybe we can reach an agreement...

Why not charge all diners the extra 10% with their meal cost and be done with it?

I hear what you are saying Jenny ol' gal, ol' buddy, ol' pal. Here in America, if you work in a decent place you can rake it in in tips. On the other hand if you work in a crappy place or you suck, your wage is going to reflect that.

I guess most places look at it like this. If I pay you $12 per hour to wait tables or tend bar, you will make $12 per hour no matter how you treat customers. I agree it's not a perfect system Jen.

I cant even remember how long its been since I've tipped anybody!
Its been over 10 years since I went out to eat, even longer since I ordered delivery!
It cost too much, and the food is shit!
Hell, for the same price as a pizza, I can make and cook 4 pizzas, that are a whole lot better!
