    If he's standing in the middle of the field and you're SURE he's really asleep... and you're SURE the farmer isn't around... Go for it.

    nicely done :smokin:

    I think you should haggle like you're in a Marrakech bazar, if it's advertised at $15, you should be able to get it for $12 no problem....No-one opens with the amount they're expecting right?

    You've made my day at 8.31am. Nice work!

    If you had to work delivering pizza just so you could earn a buck, wouldn't you want to get a tip? The extra couple of dollars wont make that much of a difference for you, but certainly will help the delivery person. That two dollars is not going to them, so add an extra two dollars. Its not a big deal.

    I think the simple answer is this:

    If you're American: Tip

    If you're British: Don't tip and tut at the idea of tipping

    Yes, if they were courteous...Most people take that job based on the premise that they will make tips. The charge is for the business, not the drivers.

    I don't know about Australia, though. Minimum wage where I live is pretty low.

    I always tip. Don't want to risk them messing with the food.



    I now can't order from favourite takeaway place. The manager seemed extremely overly keen (used to live opposite me). Placed a large order for event at work & rang back to ask if they'd drop off the receipt when next passing. No big deal but they'd forgot it at time of delivery & we needed it for petty cash. Manager rang me back had huge humiliating over reaction to apologising to me. Then rang delivery guy on his day off & screamed at him. Guy came in next night to drop the receipt in for me. He said the boss had gone completely nuts with him. Plus he said he was already having a bad week as he'd been diagnosed with a possible cancerous growth! I've never felt so bad in my entire life & haven't ever dared order from there since.

    The pizza place near my house has a $2 fee for delivery charges.

    Large pizza costs $15, that means it really costs $17.

    Does that mean I don't need to tip, since it's already included in the cost of the pizza?

    You know.. supply and demand.

    Thanks
    don't tip the pizza guy just tap him and then he will tip u :)

    First don't eat pizza... bad calories :P

    If you get a good service.. pay the tip! Its holiday season :)

    What's next, hating on bacon??? (Come to think of it, bacon + pizza = the best calories.....)

    I order online, if I am paying by card then I don't give a tip (as I very rarely have cash or change in the house), if paying by cash then I will tip (assuming I remembered to stop at the cash machine).

    I also do the round up thing so that a little donation goes to a charity.
