/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Yea, that delivery or service fee that doesn't actually go to the driver or server is pretty bunk. I used to do deliveries and there was a $3 delivery fee for the store no matter how big the order was. Didn't really effect the big orders but if my delivery was less than $30 or so I usually didn't get any tip. They did pay me $8 an hour though, that's how they justified keeping the fee. But still, if I didn't get at least a dollar or two to cover gas and car costs then I felt like I was paying out of pocket to drive the food to them. I'm sort of biased now against tipping drivers vs waiters. A driver is actually using their own gas, car, and it's really a relatively unsafe job.

So you non-tippers, how do you feel about tipping a delivery driver? They aren't waiters, they've gotta buy gas, insurance, etc and most get paid under min wage. Drivers get in wrecks and get robbed.

I hope this isn't too off topic, but I would rather /ck/s opinion as opposed to /b/. Has anyone here ever worked fast food or delivered pizzas? If you have can you recommend why I should choose working one over the other?

I'll spare you the details but I am at a financially difficult time in my life and I need a job immediately, even if it means flipping burgers or slinging pizzas. I'd like to know the pros and cons of each from people who have done it. Pizza delivery seems like it would make more money because of tips but it also seems like it would be sort of dangerous (I live in the inner city). Fast food seems like a more steady and set paycheck and I wouldn't be wearing out my car and gas, but it seems like it would be hellish compared to driving around all day.

What should I try to get? I need a job NOW.
