I pushed 'Za for them for 2.5 years and we never had a delivery charge, thats lame because you know it's only going to the bottom line. We recieved minimum wage, a $0.40\pizza commision (X2 in snow) and tips. The margin on a small pizza even if it was over 30 minutes and you gave $3.00 off was over 40%
I made 12-15 bucks an hour delivering the sacred hoop (and I got to eat it pretty much every day). It was great. The TOTAL key to success in the food delivery business is to get a cheap beater car thats easy to do routine maintenance on and keep on top of it.
On the tip bit, most people tipped well. I view a tip also based on the sincerety of the tipper. I had a little old lady somewhere north of 80 fold a quarter into my hand with a "and this is for you young man" and I knew that that quarter was still a lot in her mind and I accepted it as if it was 5 bucks. She was tickled pink that you could actually have a hot pizza delivered to your HOME in ~20 minutes :)

It may have been Papa John' that added the delivery charge, not Domino's. Though I did see or read a story somewhere about how pizza delivery places were trending towards adding delivery charges.
