I always way overtip. It is just my nature. But somebody doing that to me would not only not get a tip, but their manager would get a call, and if the manager copped an attitude, I wouldn’t hesitate to ask everybody I know to review bomb the hell out of the place.

If that Dominos wants my future business, they will either fire that delivery person, or make sure that particular employee never darkens my door again.
Of all the nerve!

It’s almost like the delivery person were ‘casing the joint’, appraising material value of the customers possesions and didn’t have enough brain or tact not to blab that info out to the customer. I would not trust them not to ‘key my car’ at very least. Low brained thinking.

TIPS were to insure proper service...

perhaps asking before delivering is acceptable.

Pretty soon soldiers will demand tips from the enemy before dispatching them.

Some drivers forget what their job is, it is to deliver pizza.

A tip is nice and drivers expect to get some during the evening, but not at every house, and it is not a requirement.

                      NICE GUY EDDIE
                Okay, everybody cough up green for
                the little lady.

       Everybody whips out a buck, and throws it on the table.
       Everybody, that is, except Mr. White.

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 C'mon, throw in a buck.

                              MR. WHITE
                 Uh-uh.  I don't tip.

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 Whaddaya mean you don't tip?

                              MR. WHITE
                 I don't believe in it.

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 You don't believe in tipping?

                              MR. PINK
                         (laughing)
                 I love this kid, he's a madman,
                 this guy.

                              MR. BLONDE
                 Do you have any idea what these
                 ladies make?  They make shit.

                              MR. WHITE
                 Don't give me that.  She don't
                 make enough money, she can quit.

       Everybody laughs.

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 I don't even know a Jew who'd have
                 the balls to say that.  So let's
                 get this straight. You never ever
                 tip?

                              MR. WHITE
                 I don't tip because society says I
                 gotta.  I tip when somebody
                 deserves a tip.  When somebody
                 really puts forth an effort, they
                 deserve a little something extra.
                 But this tipping automatically,
                 that shit's for the birds.  As far
                 as I'm concerned, they're just
                 doin their job.

                              MR. BLUE
                 Our girl was nice.

                              MR. WHITE
                 Our girl was okay.  She didn't do
                 anything special.

                              MR. BLONDE
                 What's something special, take ya
                 in the kitchen and suck your ****?

       They all laugh.

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 I'd go over twelve percent for
                 that.

                              MR. WRITE
                 Look, I ordered coffee.  Now we've
                 been here a long ****in time, and
                 she's only filled my cup three
                 times.  When I order coffee,  I
                 want it filled six times.

                              MR. BLONDE
                 What if she's too busy?

                              MR. WHITE
                 The words "too busy" shouldn't be
                 in a waitress's vocabulary.

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 Excuse me, Mr. White, but the last
                 thing you need is another cup of
                 coffee.

       They all laugh.

                              MR. WHITE
                 These ladies aren't starvin to
                 death.  They make minimum wage.
                 When I worked for minimum wage, I
                 wasn't lucky enough to have a job
                 that society deemed tipworthy.

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 Ahh, now we're getting down to it.
                 It's not just that he's a cheap
                 bastard--

                              MR. ORANGE
                 --It is that too--

                              NICE GUY EDDIE
                 --It is that too.  But it's also
                 he couldn't get a waiter job.  You
                 talk like a pissed off dishwasher:
                 "**** those ****s and their
                 ****ing tips."

                              MR. BLONDE
                 So you don't care that they're
                 counting on your tip to live?

       Mr. White rubs two of his fingers together.

                              MR. WHITE
                 Do you know what this is?  It's
                 the world's smallest violin,
                 playing just for the waitresses.

                              MR. BLONDE
                 You don't have any idea what
                 you're talking about.  These
                 people bust their ass. This
                 is a hard job.

                              MR. WHITE
                 So's working at McDonald's, but
                 you don't feel the need to tip
                 them.  They're servin ya food, you
                 should tip em.  But no, society
                 says tip these guys over here, but
                 not those guys over there.  That's
                 bullshit.

                              MR. ORANGE
                 They work harder than the kids at
                 McDonald's.

                              MR. WHITE
                 Oh yeah, I don't see them cleaning
                 fryers.

                              MR. BROWN
                 These people are taxed on the tips
                 they make.  When you stiff 'em,
                 you cost them money.

                              MR. BLONDE
                 Waitressing is the number one
                 occupation for female non-college
                 graduates in this country.  It's
                 the one jab basically any woman
                 can get, and make a living on.
                 The reason is because of tips.

                              MR. WHITE
                 **** all that.

       They all laugh.

                              MR. WHITE
                 Hey, I'm very sorry that the
                 government taxes their tips.
                 That's ****ed up.  But that ain't
                 my fault.  it would appear that
                 waitresses are just one of the
                 many groups the government ****s
                 in the ass on a regular basis.
                 You show me a paper says the
                 government shouldn't do that, I'll
                 sign it.  Put it to a vote, I'll
                 vote for it.  But what I won't do
                 is play ball.  And this non-
                 college bullshit you're telling
                 me, I got two words for that:
                 "Learn to ****in type."  Cause if
                 you're expecting me to help out
                 with the rent, you're in for a big
                 ****in surprise.

                              MR. ORANGE
                 He's convinced me.  Give me my
                 dollar back.

       Everybody laughs.  Joe's comes back to the table.

                 Okay ramblers, let's get to

                 Because you paid for the
                 breakfast, I'm gonna tip.
                 Normally I wouldn't.

                              JOE
                 Whatever.  Just throw in your
                 dollar, and let's move.

there is already a delivery charge....the driver is getting paid......

the tipping has got way out of hand....

minimum wages are very high as it is....

btw, I tip good...but not in certain areas, like picking up fast food....

I tip at buffets a little bit...

I try to avoid tipping situations for the most part...its a hidden tax..

The video got 2.7 million views on TikTok. That might be enough to monetize and get free pizza for life.

Dominos drivers often make less than minimum wage when they’re on the road. Tipping is part of their wage. If you order service from someone where tipping is part of their wage, and you have no intention of tipping, you are a thief. That being said, if service is sub-par such that you wish you had gone to get it yourself, then maybe not tipping is justified.

At pizza places that deliver, like Dominos, the drivers usually know who is known to be a good tipper or bad. The driver might have been very direct because drivers would rather not get orders from customers who steal their service. In other words, the driver was already expecting the customer not to tip and was rude and aggressive because this customer may already have a reputation.

She should have said, “I’m not allowed to ask for a tip, but I can ask for protection money.”

What bugs me more, though, is that this customer might be able to monetize his or her evil deeds.

Did the same thing in a ‘progressive’ city. They tacked on a 3.5% (or something like that) “Living Wage Charge”, so I said, “Fine, that’s your tip”. They were pissed. And the thing was, the guy had a portable credit card processor so he knew his non-tip before he even walked away from the table.

Needless to say, he got an ‘appropriate’ review on-line.

I'd tell him to pound sand and order from Papa John's instead.

Besides, paying beforehand isn't a "tip," it's baksheesh. If you want baksheesh, move to Arabia. We don't do that crap here.

I have always tipped, and I tip well for good service. If you are unwilling to tip as you should then you should never eat out and you should never order delivery.

I even avoid eating out with people that I know who do not tip or do not tip properly.

There was this couple I knew that would not tip and always had an issue with the bill, after two or three times it became a pattern and I KNEW they were getting good service.

So now whenever they ask to meet at a restaurant I, am conveniently doing other things and can’t make it.
