I did delivery as well, in a small honda. I agree with you, but I also agree with the folks about black people tipping especially to a white kid doing delivery. I had one encouter where a black chick ordered her KFC and passed me a hundred. If you know anything about delivery, you are supposed to call if we have to break anything over a 50, as we have a float. So I was a bit annoyed at that, but thankful that I usually carried more than most drivers. Anyways, I break their hundred and cash out the rest.
Then the lady starts arguing with me over how much I gave back, that she should get more. I told her, look. I have to pay to pick your order up at the store. This is how much they charged me. I’m not going to get less then what I’ve already paid.
Then her 300 pound linebacker bf comes down and accuses me of trying to scam them. I try to show them the math, but he picks me up by my collar. I just looked at him and told him to drop me or I’d take their food.
Thankfully he did so, and these folks are now blacklisted.
**accuses me of trying to scam them**
I hear that at least HALF of those customers. I’ve taken to charging them UP FRONT so there’s no trouble, and a few, I WON”T pick up for ANY REASON.
That sounds like some independent delivery business.
I was working for the restaurant and was already being paid minimum wage to do deliver. As far as the 300 lb. hubby, I was 6’1” and 205 lbs. and carried a pistol my self, so I was alright in the neighborhood.
I agree that blacks usually didn’t tip and in Minneapolis the black men in the house would always call for the white woman to pay, even when there was a group of black males there.
Something that was odd was all the “attitude” I felt from them, they seemed to sneer at me for delivering the pizzas and at the white girl friends for paying for them. Sneering seemed to take the place of work for some of them.
