    Gas isn't any cheaper for the driver. If your Pizza is only 10.00 would it kill ya to tip a guy who's flinging pizzas for a living or a second job. Karma baby, Karma

    I'd imagine any pizza man brave enough to deliver a pizza to your door deserves way more than just $5.

    Or, get this, or their employer could compensate them for the gas and other things as would happen in any sane place in the world.

    That pizza is only $10 because the company is too cheap to pay their employees and scamming everyone else into paying the wages for them. Raise the price of the pizza two bucks and pay people a decent a wage.

    Believe it or not - most drivers aren't employees. They're independent contractors.

    Ok. You're just trolling. I thought you were actually an ash hole for a bit.

    Actually most delivery drivers get paid mileage plus hourly wages for their time. They don't make typically service staff wages like waiters. Around here they typically make about $10/hr + milage costs.

    This is what FedEx drivers don't give a shit about your packages. They are independent contractors and if you call to complain, the company is just like "sorry about that."

    I tip absurdly for any service because it's no skin off my back. I went out to breakfast the other day and the bill was like $8 and I tipped $5. The difference between $1 and $5 isn't that big for me when I'm already ordering out, but the difference between a $1 and $5 tip for the person serving me is massive.

    Also, it's cool to not be a dick. YMMV.

    About tipping for pizza deiveries CNN says

    "Mike Lynn, associate professor of consumer behavior at the Cornell Hotel School suggests tipping pizza delivery folk a minimum of $2 per pizza. His reasoning: Food delivery can be dangerous if delivering to crime-ridden neighborhoods or driving in bad weather, etc. The Web site www.tipthepizzaguy.com suggests the following: 15% for normal service, with a $2 minimum; 20% for excellent service; 10% or less for poor service; at least 10% for orders of $50 or more. Don't assume a delivery charge, if there is one, goes to the pizza deliverer. Ask the person who takes your order."

    I have a local pizza place here and they pay there drivers 9 an hour and don't ask for tips.

    That's how it should be, tipping is a murican thing.

    And when I say "no skin off my back", I don't mean I'm well off financially by any means. I have $13 in my bank account right now. It's just not that hard to throw in a few extra bucks when I'm already splurging on paying someone to make food for me.
