Another thing. Why do you tip the pizza guy, but the guy who shows up to unload a pallet of ceramic tile/hardwood floor gets nothing? Why don't we tip fedex drivers? Why is it only the pizza guy? He only has to carry a maybe 2 pound box about 30 paces.
That being said, I do tip my pizza guy. Just have no idea as to why.

Why?
See my prior post.
You don't eat what the guy unloading wood or tile at your house brings.
You don't eat what Fed Ex brings (generally and when you do, it is totally sealed).
You tip him if he came promptly and brought you a hot pizza, looking the way you expected it.
You tip him to make sure the next time you order and he remembers you, you are not the last guy on his route and get a cold pizza.
You tip him because generally, base pay is a minimum that sucks.
I use to get $30 for the night, working from 5 p.m. until past midnight to 1 a.m. at times.
I had to supply my own gas.
I had to risk my car and insurance.
I had to incur additional maintenance on my car.
My true livelihood depended on tips, which made the night worthwhile for me.
As such, I killed myself to reward those customers I knew would reward me.
Food for thought. Pun intended.
