      <![CDATA[The underlying themes I get when I read the riveting logic from the "tipping is the one event in my life where I wield a god-like power" crowd are twofold....<br>
<br>
First, it's the assumption that a job as a server is the only thing between you and homelessness, so you should be thankful for whatever scraps are thrown your way and stop asking people with real jobs to justify your sense of entitlement. If they're not damn sure you're earning that tip and doing it with a smile on your face, they run the grave risk of giving you a fish instead of a fishing rod.

      <![CDATA[totally agree with pizza delivery , 20 bucks is more than fair, the whole tip debacle is sooo played out , you get what you deserve, I see you bust your ass, you get paid, you take my order and some export guy runs it to me, you dont, if you have to split it with them , thats your problem , when you take a wait staff job, you know the chance you take, these people make more than me working 3 or 4 nights a weeks at 4-6 hrs than I do working 10 hrs a day 5 days a week, Im sick of feeling obligated to HAVE to tip a certain amount, you do good , Ill reward you , nothing is given , and I dont wanna hear that ole bullshit then youll get spit on your food next time, I rarely eat in the same place and if I do and a wait staff sucks and I stiff them cause they suck , I either dont go back there or if I do I remember their face. I dont go by a % , if my bill is $80, I dont feel obligated to give $16 damn dollars , thats ridiculous.

      <![CDATA[I used to deliver pizza's. Unlike waiters, pizza delivery drivers don't get reduced pay (or at least didn't at the Domino's where I worked) and do get additional small amount per run or per pizza, or whatever the deal is. Most people don't tip delivery drivers as a percentage of the total, it's usually $1-$5 or whatever the customer feels comfortable with.

      <![CDATA[$150 tip is ridiculous for a delivery. The concept of 15-20% tip is based on a server that constantly serves you while you eat at that restaurant (taking orders, delivering food, refilling drinks, etc), not a delivery that shows up, drops off the food then leaves.
