After several weeks of good customers, I was bound to have a night like last night eventually. The first half was decent, but it got messed up by the non tippers the second half.
My first non tipper was to a run down apartment complex in Leeds that I wasn't expecting to tip. It was like I could tell the future. When I got back from that run, I had one to a house that I've delivered to twice before and the guy didn't tip. Needless to say, I wasn't excited about heading back over. As expected, the guy signed his credit card slip without tipping.
My last run was to a house on my street. A little over a block from my house. I was glad I could at least end the night on a good note. When I got there, they pulled the "Send the kid to the door trick". The total was $27.52. I handed him the pizzas and he handed me the money. As I'm walking back to the car, I count the money. $27. Sorry, not paying for any of your order tonight, kid. I go back to the door and ring the bell. He comes back to the door, and I tell him he owes me 52 cents.
Spoiler alert: If you don't tip, delivery drivers probably won't pay for any of your order.
Worked 3.5 hours, had 7 deliveries, and made $18 in tips.
