Delivery Pizza Complaints - Page 5

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.

Ok, if you hate onions so much, why get them on the pizza?

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!

Get that off my quote or I'm gonna toss my cookies, which will then make me lost my first cup of French press coffee! Don't do me that way!

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

When you act like a douche, you get treated like a douche. I'm not talking about tipping here, I'm talking about those assholes who act like they own the world when they enter a restaurant.
I'm not directing this toward you, Scott. I'm just saying there are people out there like that.

Agreed, do unto others...

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.

Can't get delivery here. Gotta drive about 20 minutes one way for a pizza and they get mad when I try and charge mileage.

Silound · 03-20-2011, 12:23 PM

I strongly resent the fact that there is a general edge to malign those who work in the service industry as a whole. One or two bad apples can give the rest of us a bad name, but many of us consider ourselves professionals doing a job, and as such we don't like being lumped into a category with all the delivery drivers, take out services, fast food, etc etc. We really HATE being lumped in with the people who do stupid shat like spitting on food or other antics. There's a reason the industry is attractive, where else can you make $25K+ a year part time as a student?

There are times when I have given poor service, and usually apologize for it, and I still get tipped. There are times when I give great service and get miserable tips for various reasons. And don't get me started on profiling people and how they tip.

The bottom line is that the vast majority of people need to learn a bit more about the ins and outs of the service industry, and learn when (in the uncommon but possible time that is is warranted) to tip less than normal. There is no such thing as no tip unless the server assaults you verbally or physically or defiles your food in any way. End. Of. Story.

Most of you who have never done so would probably absolutely HATE working in a restaurant if you had to do it for a month.
