As someone who tips at least 20% every time, am I a rare breed? I've always been curious about this. Haha

EDIT: I should add that sounds on the video above may not be SFW... I'm not actually sure if it's appropriate to post it here anyway so just go ahead and tell me if it's offending anyone in any way...

It depends on the neighborhood. Tips are rare in that neighborhood that bitch lives in. But overall I simply average 3 to 5 dollars per delivery.

I need that album nao! I don't want it. I just need it to breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

[wakjob]

New song. Prolly old news to you's guys.

For pizza delivery? Yes. As he said, average is probably about $3-$5 (that's pretty true for me too). People don't seem to bother thinking of percentages when it comes to delivery (or distance from the restaurant, or much of any other factor, really.)

haha tipping. Such a stupid concept. I'm glad we don't have such a rubbish system in our country.

And, I'm sure if you did have it in your country, you wouldn't be one of those massive ....s that doesn't do it.

(There's a big difference between not even having such a practice, thereby not creating a segment of society that requires it to get by, and blowing off such a practice when it's ingrained into a segment of society's living)

I was a pizza delivery guy for years. if you'd like me to explain the economic advantages of tipping, Id be happy to enlighten you. If you don't wanna tip, don't tip. But don't use the services (delivery, waiter, etc) that rely on tips to make a living. tipping based jobs generally pay minimum wage (or much less, as the case for server minimums being like $3/hr), and the workers rely on those tips to make any money. Now, here's where you benefit:

You see, this saves corporations money, having to only pay employees a few dollars an hour. This drastically reduces the day to day operating costs of a restaurant. This means they will be able to reduce their prices, offer more services, have nicer dining areas etc. If they had to pay pizza guys $14 an hour, your pizza would be $35, and youd still eat the cost anyway, w/ out having someone out on the road actually trying to do his job as efficiently as possible.

Now, when you go out to eat w/ your girlfriend or whatever, and you enjoy the service of a good waiter/waitress, just think about how little of a .... theyd give if they knew the jackass they were serving didnt believe in tipping, because he is too ignorant to understand the concept, and how its a win/win for everyone. I'm sure you've had bad experiences w/ waiters before (as a former waiter its perfectly ok to not tip as a result of sub par service), now imagine its absolutely impossible to get decent service, anywhere. No one gives a .... your diet mountain dew is empty. Or that you've been waiting 45 minutes for your chicken tender meal.

You could complain to management, or corporate I guess. But they will say "he buddy, we pay these guys $3 an hour, what do you expect?" or they will say "he buddy, we can do away w/ the tipping thing, but I'll have to pay them $ 16 an hour to put up w/ all the bullshit they have to, and your chicken tenders are going to cost $8 a piece now, your choice".

So instead of all that, if someone goes out of their way to ensure you have a pleasurable experience, tip them a few dollars. All it takes is a few dollars to make sure you don't get any pubes in your food. You might not think delivery guys remember you if you don't tip, trust me- they do. Do the right thing.

^Geez relax, it just isn't an integral part of the food service culture in Australia/NZ.

Majorly OT shit goin on here. 7 days til the new album!

[xCaptainx]

Yeah see NZ/Australia has a basic minimum wage dictated by legislation and law. Which funnily enoug happens to work really well.

Tipping is non existent as the costs are build into the product/serving you are purchasing. As it should be. Sorry the onus isn't on the customer to do anything but purchase a product and service at a set rate. The only person that benefits from tipping is the company. Nobody else.

Heard your argument, and understand it. Pretty much every other country doesn't use the tip system though and their economy, or food quality, isn't falling over itself so that somewhat negates whatever point you were trying to make.

Also - reservoir dogs monologue. Wholeheartedly agree with that.

ANYWHO.

New periphery tracks are great.

[Kenji20022]

I tipped the Dominos kid last week, he appreciated it haha and he asked if what was blaring out of my room was Make Total Destroy. Which indeed it was, had a cool conversation with him and gave him a bit more for knowing about Periphery haha.

I see it as a courtesy, I don't see it as a necessity. I know full and well about how the system works, having worked a similar position but I tip out of courtesy which I believe everyone should have. Last night I went out to a friend's dinner at Stir Crazy and ordered a pretty nice meal since I hadn't eaten earlier the 20% (party of 10) tip was a bit surprising so I didn't leave anything extra.

So your delivery guy just happens to know who Periphery is?



You know Periphery is BIG when your pizza guy knows who the band is.

Yup! He's actually pretty stoked for the new record and he ordered one of the bundles. Cool kid, and yes that is definitely an awesome sign!

I never realized how much bigger you guys have been getting these past two years, it's always kind of seemed to be the same but you guys have expanded a lot.

Right now Ragnarok is my favorite preview from the album haha, I'm willing to be it's going to be the meanest sounding song on the entire album haha.

you shouldn't do anything to people's food, you should do your job. damn.

and before you say I probably don't tip, I get in trouble with my wife for overtipping in a country where it's not even necessary to tip.

I'm not sure if you correctly read what I typed.
It's ok If you don't tip. In each country, society has a different way of doing things.

I read that you take people's sauces away and eat their replacement pizzas.
However much of a .... the person is, that's just not OK because your are stooping to their low level.

Scarlet sounds ....ing AWESOME.

So not only should I allow this person to think they can get free food by lying about the condition of their previous order (which is stealing), but I should allow these ungrateful ....s to think it's ok to not at least reimburse me for the gas I spend to bring them their food? Thanks to how I treated her, she no longer orders from us, and now none of us at this restaurant has to lose money to bring her food.

This thread is about Periphery. It was an accident to derail it so bad (but it made for an awesome meme, and I usually suck at memes), but the conversation should be about Periphery.
