    Actually most people feel EA should just hire me. :)

    With all the info I have figured out about their game. Creating and adding content in the past as well.

    When I saw the members mentioned in the update I had to check twice I wasn't playing one of your storyline apk's lol you sure you ain't already started working for them dude?? ;) lol

    I'm pretty sure if I worked them them I wouldn't be delivering pizza's living off of tips.

    People tip delivery drivers?? :O

    I put people who don't tip last on my delivery list or I might even stop delivering to them. Pizza delivery drivers in the US use their own personal car and spend their own money on gas. If you don't tip a pizza guy in the US they instantly hate you. I live in a farm area I generally put over 100 miles on my car for any given night I am delivering. If pizza drivers never got tips they would no longer exist because of the cost of maintaining their personal car at a minimum wage job means they would never have money for groceries or food. It always bothers me when parents let their kids sign the credit card meanwhile their kids don't know any of this. It looks like half of the people here on this forum don't know any of this. We deliver pretty far to I've driven 20 miles round trip to someones house before. That definitely deserves a tip its a whole gallon of gas the person ordered didn't have to spend themselves.

    That was my off topic rant back to the main discussion.

    No Josh your not allowed to be a mod you hate the game remember.

    I live in the UK and we pay delivery fees for majority of the vendors and I'm fairly sure drivers I know get paid for their mileage. Must differ to the US.

    After doing this for two months in college, and spending all my earnings on car repairs, I'm compelled to give every pizza delivery guy a 4-dollar minimum tip regardless of how late they are.

    Tip? Isn't that the new "mandatory delivery fee"?

    And on top of that, why would I tip someone for doing something I'm completely capable of?

    A perverted sense of self entitlement is now tip worthy I guess.

    How about because you couldn't be bothered to do it your self?

    In many delivery situations the driver get minimum wage and the delivery fee is not for anything other then paying that wage. The tip is the courtesy that you pay a little extra to help cover the cost of gas and wear and tear on their vehicle while you sit on your couch.



    nailed it! :thumbup:

    I had to say something, I was rather bothered by that person's ignorant reply and I'm not even a delivery person.

    You have to be kidding me? Thats why we tip, to take of poor little Johnny's car? Using that logic you would have to tip anyone that commutes to work. Do you?

    I don't tip the driver when he drives to the pizza place, I tip him when he drives to mine. Idiot. In many other work places, where people use their own vehicle during work hours the company reimburses their fuel and adds a little to cover that wear and tear. I suppose the pizza place could do the same, but then they would charge more for their product to cover that cost, so really it's the same. You currently sit in the minority in not tipping a delivery driver and you are fortunate that is the case because if the tides swayed in your favour your pizza would cost more to cover that gap.

    You are clearly the person with the "perverted sense of self entitlement."

    You need a dictionary. Nothing I said was ignorant.

    So, do you tip every person you have a monetary transaction with through out the day? Thats the standard that yourself and others have now portrayed.

    My point: If any delivery place charges me a delivery fee...... then no tip. Hence the delivery fee! Cry all you want about minimum wage but there are far more strenous and filthy occupations that you wouldn't deem tip worthy.

    Example: Had a plumber to the house three weeks ago. Very steep bill, but I slipped him a 20. Why? Because he did great work and cleaned up after himself. Now, if on that final bill there was a fee for him coming to the house, then I would not have tipped.

    Do you all see my point? If there is a FEE then the tip is disregarded in my mind.

    Do you understand now?

    Really?I swear it's people like you that cause places to charge gratuity. If you get driven to work everyday in a carpool, yes you should compensate that person for the gas.

    But first, you have to accomplish a few things.

    1) become obsessed with your post count and constantly brag about being the top poster even though 99% of your posts are useless smiley faces and emoticons

    2)when someone threatens your spot as top poster, delete all their threads and blame someone else

    And finally,

    3) pretend to be a character from a terrible 90s movie

    Oh wait, someone is already doing that? Whoops ;)
    watch out someone might not agree :lol:

    No need to get defensive or insulting. It lowers your maturity level quite rapidly. Now please read what I quoted and do not take things out of context.

    You say you tip when it a good is delivered to your place, not vice versa. But how is this different than anyone that commutes to a place of business to provide you with goods or services. They still had to drive somewhere for you in either case, but once again, you only consider one tip worthy.

    If there is an idiot in the shadows I would suggest you invest in a mirror. Please tip whomever sells said mirror.

    What he is saying is that the delivery fee doesn't always go to the driver. I have a few people who ask me if I get the fee when I deliver. We originally got $2 which in my area would cover gas not wear and tear. Now we get only $1 because of "credit card fees" . I always answer with the truth to the customer though if they ask me if I get the delivery fee I used to say yes I do and still get $1 - $2 . I haven't been asked in a while but I guess I will be saying "only half" from now on. I make ok money but that goes away quickly when I'm getting an oil change every month.

    You have played the Fool. The Fool is never taken seriously nor would I consider debating any point or belief with a Fool.

    But, here it goes;

    In your example you are correct in that you should be paying your share of the fuel. However, by your logic you would then be required to tip the driver. Do you see why you have played the Fool?

    Way to go Josh, I had a proper belly laugh when I saw your name in the game, I shot over here as soon as I saw it. Lol, I'm impressed. Let's hope they've taken on some of you criticism and lowered the price for premium items.

    I agree with what you've said spanser. Its not the best occupation or situation to be in. However, you do choose to be employed in that line of work.

    Having an opinion does not make one rude, especially when you obviously didn't even understand my original point.

    Now, go back and re-read the thread. Also, do try and not move your lips at the same time.

    I have a dictionary, we're on the internet, we all have a dictionary.

    ig·no·rant

    1. lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned: an ignorant man.
    2. lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact: ignorant of quantum physics.
    3. uninformed; unaware.
    4. due to or showing lack of knowledge or training: an ignorant statement.

    My point is that you are ignorant on the topic of Delivery Fees, you should investigate how such a few is used before you suggest that the driver has a "perverted sense of self entitlement." Not all delivery fees go to the drivers and your slanderous statement about them opens you to the comment.

    Also, it's ignorant to assume what I do or do not deem tip worthy, you lack information on that topic as well. I have left tips for people in a variety of situations including and not limited to people working as cashiers, a person who informed me they were un-allowed to accept the tip so I placed a token in the businesses charity bin and informed them I was making the donation on their behalf. I also go out of my way to fill out comment cards in positive situations, because people often write them when a situation goes poorly but do not often when a situation goes well.
