I think the difference lies between what you think is right and what actually happens.
It is not right for people to spit in your food but it happens.

I don't think it's a forgone conclusion that it's okay to honker on my pizza, but I do think it's a reality, albeit a very slim chance.
I don't think it's acceptable to crap on anyone's car, either.
In the event I was to catch some kid defiling my pizza, it's going to open up a whole world of "acceptable" possibilities, though. :r

I think the whole tipping model in food service should go away. If you think about it, it is a genius business model started by the industry. The business pays **** money for labor and you subsidize the rest of the labor cost in the form of a tip. So you get to pay for the food and labor cost. Get rid of the whole system. Pay the staff a decent salary. If they suck ass at the job, GTFO. Simple.

What if other industries were on the same model?

Anyone who brings food to my door 'cause I'm too lazy to get off my @ss to go and get it, gets a fin, at least.

Forgone conclusion was too strong, but we as a consumer almost expect something afoul to happen if the service industry isn't given decent gratuity regardless of the level of service. That's my beef.

They're hiring kids, you pretty much have to expect that kind of thing. I don't think for a second that it happens as much as we might think it does, but that fear is a chip they don't even have to play. We play it for them.
I guess it's built in. We know what we're up against when we order a pizza. You give the kid five bucks, that's the deal. If I don't want to give the kid five bucks, I shouldn't order a pizza.
It's really just like everything else. If you don't want crappy service and soggy cigars, don't buy them from CI. The list goes on and on.
I suppose we could argue forever how it should be in a perfect world, or how it should be so we'd like it better, but that isn't gonna change that it is what it is. Pizza sure isn't the only place we have to "play by their rules". It's life.

Back home we have Frank's Pizza. It is easily the best pizza in the universe. It's so good that spit isn't going to matter. You could dip this stuff in a tub of spit and it'd still make your eyes tear from the sheer goodness. I think everyone should order from there (but then it'd turn into that commercial goo like Pizza Hut and Dominos). :D

Hey, I like onions, I just wish that toppings (real ones) found their way onto my pizzas, too. Maybe some anchovies?

My second sentence is meant to expand.
It is not right for them to spit BUT they do regardless.

This thread has NOT made me feel good about ordering pizza.

The former delivery guys talking about 'You don't wanna know what happens' kind of makes me sick.

If I found out that anything was done to my food, and I could prove it, someone would be prosecuted. At the very least the manager or owner would get some face time and public ridicule.

There is never a situation where it is acceptable to tamper with someones food.

So last night, for the first time, I looked at the rcpt stapled to the bag the pizza comes in..."$2.15 for crispy"! Really?! They charge and additional $2 to have my pizza go one more time around the carousel to get done a little more? The freakin' oven is already on and is gonna stay on, I call BS on that one. :sl

Don't disagree.
I personally was only guilty of making sure I was late and with a stale pizza if you had a history of being an ahole.
However, I know many guys that did.
All I am saying is don't be naive thinking you can be a butt hole to someone handling your food and not think stuff like this does not go on.
I for one will never not tip if I intend to buy from them again.

You might want to stop eating at any chain restaurant and especially skip fast food if you are overly concerned with problems with your food. :2

I think you missed the point, there was one stray onion on my pizza, and it happened to be on the last bite. I'd rather have had it on the first so the rest of the pizza would've washed it away.

if the onions are "rancid" on your pizza? You ought to find a pizza joint with fresh ingredients. Any place that would use spoiled or subpar ingredients doesn't deserve your business. ;)

Recently I have picked up the pizza, since we live about 1/4 mile away. My wife pays by credit card over the phone, but when I go to pick it up there is a spot on the reciept that I sign for a tip. A tip for pick-up? :hm

I'll leave a tip for a carry out order at a restaurant, provided everything is in order (bagged up, utensils/napkins/condiments included) and ready to go when they said it would be. A pizza joint? Not so much.

There's a difference between giving piss-poor customer service (with the thought of you get what you pay for) and going out of your way to pervert one's food.:2

Carry out food from a restaurant is a different animal. The servers still have to 'plate' it and bag it up for you to go, also particularly if they bring it to your car. Servers/bartenders also have to spend time from their other tables to pack up your food. A pizza that is made by the same guys no matter if it is delivered or picked up and doesn't require extra effort by them, it comes in the same box. :hm

Yep. A little bit of effort goes a long way with me. I even appreciate it more if bread is included and you DON'T put it in the bag, but wait until I get there to get the fresh stuff. This is good customer service and will be compensated accordingly.

No doubt.
The discussion I addressed entailed no tipping at all, regardless of good service by a pizza delivery guy, assuming they are paid enough already. Poor service should not be rewarded and is a digression from what I addressed.

There's a large portion of society that believes one should tip no matter the case. I don't necessarily subscribe to that school of thought. If an indivdual does a good job in the service industry takes care of you, they should be compensated for their effort and attention, period. What bothers me is if you get poor/no service, and yet are still expected to give a tip as if though you were adquately taken care of. Note, I'm not saying NO tip, but tip as though you would tip someone who provided good service. That's what grinds my gears.

My only comment here: Mmmmmmm onions!

Ok maybe a bit more: We not only have worked in the food service industry in our youth, but the kids have too. Without the tips our son rec'd while delivering for a franchised pizza place, he would have gone backwards fast due to gas prices and the MPG on his delivery vehicle. They pay shite, they are terrible to their employees and it's just a huge load of crap to deal with for such a minimal amount.

Oh yeah, Mmmmmmmm ONIONS!

If I eat in a restaurant, and get sh!tty service, no tip. You want to make an issue of it, I'll tell you why, in a rather loud voice, why your service was sh!tty.

If you deliver me a pizza... well, if it comes fine, you'll get a tip.

Luckily, I'm in the UK, where this is acceptable :tu

Love pizza, but not the chain stuff.

Speaking of being treated like garbage by the owners, I knew a guy that delivered for the Hut a few years back. On delivery, a guy crossed the center line and crashed him. Hurt his back and totaled the car. Dude could only afford liability. After first telling him he'd be covered by his employer, they cut him loose a week later, with no way to pay for medical bills or a car(guy who hit him had no insurance). That's rough.

How would workman's comp not cover this? Further, and I'm by no means an expert, but I'm sure that a lawyer would have a field day with this.

What do you mean, "Embarrass is out of your delivery zone?"

Last pizza I had delivered was delivered to me while ice fishing on Shawano Lake about 6 years ago. We told him where to drive on the ice, to honk, and we'd wave him in to our ice shanty. The delivery guy said it was the most unique delivery he'd ever made, wanted a picture of him delivering it to the door of the ice shack.

Wife delivered pizza for Dominoes one summer while we were teachers in the LA area. Not a good experience for her.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
