Anybody that has worked a job where they depend on the tips will understand my frustration at the people out there who stiff or tip very small.
Now, please don't get me wrong and think that I am being greedy or ungrateful. That is definitely not the case.
Just please understand that my hourly pay is less than minimum wage and actually do depend on tips to get by until the next paycheck.
For me, delivering subs, I don't expect a $10 tip. Not even a $5 one. The average I would have to say is about $2-3, and that is just fine.
If I am using my own gas, adding extra wear and tear onto my car just to bring you one lonely sub and you don't tip...that just pisses me right the hell off. There is hardly a delivery charge on your food, the least you can do is give $1 if you want to be really cheap. If you can't afford to give a tip, you really shouldn't have used your last money on a sandwich.
We try the very best to get you your food as fast as possible.
No lie, I had this one delivery where it took me 9 minutes (I kept track because my PIC told me to get there as quick as possible) from the time she began to place her order to the time I walked back to my car from her house...and she gave me only 75 cents. Whuuuuuut.
Then, later that night, I had a delivery where it took me over 20 minutes because we were busy and I was the only driver, and he gave me a $5 tip.
I tip whoever and wherever based on their quickness, service, attitude, and knowledge.
I usually always tip 20% or more, depending on if I feel the 20% was too little.
I rarely stiff. But it does happen because their service was shit.
I depend on these tips to help. They are usually my gas money or spending money. Right now, it's going towards Kaiden's birthday and birthday party, then after, they will be going towards my vacation in California later on this summer.
There are others out there who depend on their tips for their bills and food, much more important than my tips.
