quote:i had Blaze the other day and before that I ordered a pie all wasted from dominos to be delivered. I ended up spending $18 on one pizza some how. That's hard to do with dominos cheap arse pies.
Haven't had major pizza chain pizza in a long time. Last was pizza hut.
Dominos wings are still goat btw

It was actually even better. My best friend sold schwag to every employee at the local chevron station. We had a safe spot to meet people, and could buy beer 24 hours a day. For high school kids, it was a pretty sweet setup for the suburbs.

Stop playing video games and get your own food nerd.

The driver doesn't get the delivery fee and you should tip for good service.
Or get off your arse and pick it up yourself. That simple.
You really wanna take that stance pizza chain? Because when I get off my arse to go get food, pizza gets bumped far down the list.

I guess it's expensive to deliver underage kids to Podesta hence the delivery fee to grease customs officials?

They're slowly phasing out delivery.
It's pretty easy to see, if you're paying attention.

It's nothing more than an included tip, just pay it and nothing more.
You're an a-hole. Be thankful every time you get a hot pizza that the driver is a bigger and better person than you because that whole store knows your address is a stiff.
Most of the Dominos pay something like .32 cents a mile or less with gas prices lately. Idk it's been 4-5 years. It's nowhere near the govt level. They're all owned by the same company RPM Pizza, which is a nicer company than they have a right to be. They offer 401k to drivers etc. I do know that the delivery fee goes towards wages/mileage/insurance and I'm not sure if most stores could meet the bottom line without it. The NOLA area and burbs are the few stores not hemoragging money.
I'm fairly confident 90% of stiffs know they do it on purpose and give some moral justification to why they're special and allowed to be cheap fricks toward the service industry.

I'd rather drive myself, wait, buy the pizza, wait, and drive home than deliver because of that stupid fricking fee.
This is probably the point. If delivery was the same price as carry-out I bet more people would order delivery and that would create a bottleneck where people were waiting hours for pizza. You can get more people their pizzas if they come get it themselves.
By charging a fee for delivery, less people go that option, and the people who do order delivery get faster service than if everyone ordered delivery. It's like the toll road theory I guess.

I drove for a gourmet pizza place in Southlake TX in high school and we got 6 bucks an hour plus tips plus a dollar per delivery to cover gas.
I probably cleared 500 a week working 5 nights a week. For a high schooler that was amazing money. I delivered to several pro athletes like Will Clark, Mark McLemore, Mark Teixiera, Jeff Russell, and broadcaster Josh Lewin.
I agree with the poster who said a delivery charge is to keep the amount of deliveries low so there is no bottleneck. We had no delivery charge so there were times wed be backed up and I'd have to take 4-5 orders on a single run. It was like a giant math equation trying to figure out the best routes.

whoa, they actually pay for google maps?
I know a driver, they have the same grid maps they had back in the day, then the drivers are responsible for their own GPS.

If you are 30 relying on being a delivery driver for a pizza restaurant as a full time gig then you might be in a little trouble. But if you are a teenager or college student looking for some extra cash on the side for beer or video game money then there are worse options.

Did she ask for big sausage pizza?

How does anyone think it costs the same for a business to deliver as it does to sell carry out? Expecting the costs to be the same outside of tips is laughable.
If you aren't being line Itemed extra for delivery, the carry out is almost cheaper.

I've seen so many replies saying something like this but none of you have explained why there was no delivery fee 20 years ago. Domino's, Pizza Hut and Papa John's all had free delivery. I imagine 20 years from now people like you will say the same thing about checked bag fees with the airlines.

Pays for gas, mileage, insurance, etc. The drivers don't make that money.
When I was in college I delivered for a pizza place and Chinese restaurant. Both places I paid my own gas, and there was no reimbursement for miles, insurance, etc.
Iirc the pizza place had a $2 delivery charge, and $1 went to me. Plus tips of course.
I generally made larger tips delivering Chinese food. I loved the lunchtime shift delivering huge orders to businesses. One big tip and I didn't have to rush back.

Dude if you don't tip then I don't give a damn where you take your business. In fact I'd prefer that you went somewhere else so I don't waste gas and time on you.

Apparently you have no idea of the concept of convenience fees.

They have a complex dispatch system now. It'll plan out routes for drivers based on various data. I'ma computer nerd and it's impressive to me. It's not nearly Google maps.
Now when a driver leaves the store, Yea he/she is on their own with Google maps. But this system takes guess work out what runs to take and in which order to take them.
