So my pizza delivery guy said this: "Hi sir, I got your pizza here. Pepperoni and cheese. That'll be $19.99 plus tip"

if they had to reimburse drivers for that stuff, pretty soon there wouldn't be any drivers

When I worked in pizza delivery a while ago, I never asked people for tips or even hinted that I wanted a tip- I got PLENTY of tips (sometimes up to $100 a night, generally no lower than $40) just from being polite. I can't believe anyone would ask for a tip. That's hilarious, but I'm sure if that's a common thing for him he goes home with little to no cash in his hands…

...

Papa John's pays $1 per delivery, and delivering in a 2015 Charger meant expensive servicing on the car, decent amount of gas. Fortunately it also meant good tips from car guys. One guy who lives in a large house gave me a $50 bill on a $18 order for being a "mopar bro", in his words. I kind of saw it coming with the Caliber SRT4 and Challenger SRT8 in the garage

of course not if you live in a civillized country outside of burgerland. Tip is given when the customer is satisfied with his service and feels like the waiter has earned it.

I wonder what kind of (((entrepreneur))) is paying his workers so badly that they rely on tip to survive.

pure coincidence

...

And their business model would die and we would get something better

Because instead of having an actual welfare system the US has vast regions with living standards approximately the same as Irak. There's no real worker's policies, no health insurance to speak of…

Hence why pizza delivery guys have to rely on tips OP

That is fat ass pizza, never really noticed till now. I wanna sit on that pie.
