Delivery Pizza Complaints

[Eleven]

This thread has NOT made me feel good about ordering pizza.

The former delivery guys talking about 'You don't wanna know what happens' kind of makes me sick.

If I found out that anything was done to my food, and I could prove it, someone would be prosecuted. At the very least the manager or owner would get some face time and public ridicule.

There is never a situation where it is acceptable to tamper with someones food.

Don't disagree.
I personally was only guilty of making sure I was late and with a stale pizza if you had a history of being an ahole.
However, I know many guys that did.
All I am saying is don't be naive thinking you can be a butt hole to someone handling your food and not think stuff like this does not go on.
I for one will never not tip if I intend to buy from them again.

There's a difference between giving piss-poor customer service (with the thought of you get what you pay for) and going out of your way to pervert one's food.

No doubt.
The discussion I addressed entailed no tipping at all, regardless of good service by a pizza delivery guy, assuming they are paid enough already. Poor service should not be rewarded and is a digression from what I addressed.

There's a large portion of society that believes one should tip no matter the case. I don't necessarily subscribe to that school of thought. If an indivdual does a good job in the service industry takes care of you, they should be compensated for their effort and attention, period. What bothers me is if you get poor/no service, and yet are still expected to give a tip as if though you were adquately taken care of. Note, I'm not saying NO tip, but tip as though you would tip someone who provided good service. That's what grinds my gears.

You might want to stop eating at any chain restaurant and especially skip fast food if you are overly concerned with problems with your food.

Recently I have picked up the pizza, since we live about 1/4 mile away. My wife pays by credit card over the phone, but when I go to pick it up there is a spot on the reciept that I sign for a tip. A tip for pick-up?

Just ordered a pizza and picking it up in person.

I'll leave a tip for a carry out order at a restaurant, provided everything is in order (bagged up, utensils/napkins/condiments included) and ready to go when they said it would be. A pizza joint? Not so much.

Carry out food from a restaurant is a different animal. The servers still have to 'plate' it and bag it up for you to go, also particularly if they bring it to your car. Servers/bartenders also have to spend time from their other tables to pack up your food. A pizza that is made by the same guys no matter if it is delivered or picked up and doesn't require extra effort by them, it comes in the same box.

Yep. A little bit of effort goes a long way with me. I even appreciate it more if bread is included and you DON'T put it in the bag, but wait until I get there to get the fresh stuff. This is good customer service and will be compensated accordingly.

Amen to everything you said!
