tizz Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Ya, my mom and I have to sit down tonight and look at costs of delivering and see how much we are going to have to charge extra for deliveries. We were really hoping not to have to but the pumps have won out Quote "An intelligence that is not humane is the most dangerous thing in the world" Ashley Montague "No one should have to walk alone" Phuong Du "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind" Ghandi "If I were asked to define an American in a single phrase, I would say 'An American is a person who has the right to be different' and I think that right is growing" William Manchester
phreakwars Posted September 3, 2005 Author Posted September 3, 2005 My boss at my pizza delivery job had to raise delivery cost $1 more for each zone to $2.00 for a zone 1 and $3.00 for a zone 2 delivery. So now we get a dollar extra for every delivery for gas. We figure if people are gonna bitch about paying $1.00 more for a delivery charge, then they are MORE THEN WELCOME to drive on down themselves and pick it up, and see for themselves which way is actually cheaper. Concidering we are located on the far end of town and the person ordering the food would have to travel all the way across town, through all kinds of bullshit constuction, and with gas now well over $3.00 a gallon, then have to drive BACK to get home, it's MUCH cheaper to cough up that extra $1 charge we had to tack on. Otherwise, what was happening is, we would get .75 cents each drive we took for gas + tips, we would all usually end up having to cut into our own tips to pay for gas, and as of late, we would sometimes be using our OWN regular money for gas, therefore, we were gaining NOTHING, we were losing money... a couple of us said we were thinking of quiting (myself included, I have a regular job, the deliverys are just for something to do) because of the gas prices. And without delivery drivers, nobody gets there food, so they had no choice.. and your right... it IS getting too far out of hand.. I really do feel sorry for some of these guys I work with who rely on the job to make a living, since gas prices are so high, people try to save what they have, and one of the main ways they do this, is THEY DON'T TIP the delivery driver... Sure, don't take into concideration that they have to fucking drive all over town, that big fucking .75 cents is sure gonna give em enough gas to get to your house and back won't it ?? So word to the wise for all of you who order a pizza or chinese or whatever, and have it delivered... TIP YOUR DRIVER !! If you don't then you will be forced to get off your ass and go pick it up yourself with your own damn gas being wasted. If you wanna know how much to tip them, it's very simple. Find out how much they get for each delivery.. which in MY CASE is .75 cents, then ADD TO IT the difference to make a gallon of gas. So let's do the math then shall we ?? Gas = $3.09 a gallon - .75 = $2.34 Or, since we NOW charge a dollar more for delivery, Gas = $3.09 a gallon - $1.75 = $1.34 Is that so fucking hard ?? $1.34 more to avoid paying for gas yourself and having to pick up your own order ?? With just THIS math, drivers will break even, anything OVER $1.34 is the ACTUAL tip. Keep that in mind next time you order out. . . Quote https://www.facebook.com/phreakwars
tizz Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 The only thing I get delievered is the OCCASIONAL Dominoes (my kid likes it I hate it). I used to deliever for them and I remember thinking that $2 is usually good (I live an easy straight 1 mile fromteh store) If I lived further or I am having a party I usually tip 5-10 if I can get everyone to chip in.

DizzyME Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 As of this week, it has effected me by a great deal. I have to quit my job. For the past couple years I have driven an hour and a half to work. I make a decent living (for a college student anyways) And until this year, I hadn't felt that the gas prices really affected me. When it hit over two dollars a gallon, I started to think that perhaps I needed to find another job, but lack of work in the small town that I live in has made this difficult. Now that gas is over three dollars a gallon, there is no "maybe" about it. I HAVE to quit my job and find a new one because there is no way I can afford to drive to work. This is annoying because I have to take a huge pay cut if I am to work in this little town. It's frustrating. Quote
GrayGal Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Yeah gas prices are kickin our asses here in GA. I mean we are paying 3 a gal. still and cant go no where cause most gas stations are sold outta gas. This is so stupid...i have to save all my gas just in case of emergencies Quote http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/bf579d790688a5b6ce4acac92ae0b3e3.jpg Gray~Gal .....

tizz Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Living in a resort town on the beach I have noticed that although the traffic SUCKS ASS! it is still not as bad as you would expect. I have talked toa few neighbors that had planned to go away for the weeekend and tehrecent gas hike has kept them home Quote "An intelligence that is not humane is the most dangerous thing in the world" Ashley Montague "No one should have to walk alone" Phuong Du "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind" Ghandi "If I were asked to define an American in a single phrase, I would say 'An American is a person who has the right to be different' and I think that right is growing" William Manchester
