So a bunch of people are angry that she doesn’t get tips. Meaning that they think she should get more than $10/h. Wtf aren’t they angry that the employer doesn’t pay her more than $10/h??

"So I just took" Good grief !

So. So. So.so.so....

I got distracted by all the "So, now I just took my *nth* delivery..." She got, in total, $56.44 just in tips that night. I don't what mileage pay Dominos drivers get, but they do get a little bit of something for that. Then they still get an hourly rate, about $11 - $17/hr in the USA, I guess depending on the location, the experience and longevity of the employee, and other factors. She says her tips were low that night, so I'd like to know what they are like when it's a good night. I agree with how some are saying she's not shaming those that don't tip and she's not whining about anyone. Just wanting to share what she makes in tips. I'm not reading in too deep on this. I still say tipping should be an option and based on good service. I would give her a gratituity. The way some people think of tipping as this thing that should be mandatory, how about delivery drivers and servers have a set service fee shown before the customer pays the bill that is added into the bill?

So does she not earn an hourly wage? I'm so confused.

I used to work for Domino's myself and what I learned is most people have no idea how business actually works. First of all most Domino's stores are owned by franchisees who are by no means among the super rich. Second when cost goes up for a business it has to be passed on to the customers. Nobody stays in business losing money. At one point when the company hadn't raised it's prices in over 10 years but the costs to run the stores had. It was determined that they could no longer continue to absorb the increase in cost so they raised the price and the customers through a fit and sales dropped like a rock. Then the price was dropped and a delivery charge was added instead as a way to make up some of the costs increase and people came back just as happy as can be. And yes that is where the delivery charge goes, not to the driver. I was a delivery driver for Domino's for over ten years and I'm not saying that tipping should be required but remember it is part of the driver's income .

When I tip I do consider the total but also the distance. My wife was a delivery driver and what she got in cash tips was held onto so she could put gas into the car for the next shift. Then there's the maintenance and general wear and tear on the car. Part of the bigger picture I consider when tipping.

The whole concept of tipping is crazy to me. Why does it even exist, workers should be payed more by their employers instead of the customers. Crazy

The whole thing comes down to plain GREED. The drivers/waiters want a tip because the restaurant owner is too greedy to pay them a living wage. Tipping should be banned, because it's getting so that service people expect a tip and give crappy service if the customer doesn't tip. These people have a job to do. They need to do it, and not expect everyone to supplement their income because their boss doesn't pay them enough. I don't mind tipping, but the percentages are going up to the point, where I hardly eat out any more, and when I order food, I go and get it. I don't want to be shamed for not tipping, so I won't be. Tips used to be 10%, then went up to 15%. Now they're 20%! Next thing you know you'll be expected to pay double! It's getting stupid and I think it should stop. I repeat - this is becoming pure greed by everyone but the customer.

I feel resturaunts should be responsible for paying their own employees like any other business. Tips are given to those who give exceptional customer service.. I avoid places that make you tip a percentage of your bill. It i not my responsibility to pay your employees wages. Multi million dollar companies that pay minimum wage or even way less because they put the responsibility of paying their employees wages back on their customers. Smh.... shame on you. With that being said. I tip when I feel someone has went above and beyond or has earned it in the level of customer service they have provided. Not everyone deserves a tip. As long as Domino's is in the spot light let's talk about why iwhen I go get my own pitza I cant pay without being asked for a tip by the darn card machine. Bottom line, Domino's should pay theirl own employees for their hard work. Tips should not ever be expected to pay wages.. Thats my tip for yah.

That's a good one me too so much to help me with little big change

The delivery fee was said to cover the delivery driver costs. So we're paying for the reimbursement of gas. Note dominos is a franchise.

People who argue tip more have the money to do so. Sooo tip and STFU about those who don't. Back of the house rarely get tips but no one is complaining for us. Furthermore the company makes millions to billions and we're over complaining that about how people who order disgusting pizza don't tip. #MeanwhileInAmerica

Good for you, girl

It is not the customers job to tip! Period! If you're a delivery driver and you really want tips, get a different job if you can or stop complaining. Where I'm from we only tip if the person providing the service goes out of their way (goes the extra mile) to do so. If businesses don't want to pay their delivery driver a reasonable wage, then why should the customer pay it?

The delivery charge helps pay for the packaging. Packaging is expensive and not part of the food cost.

DID YOU KNOW that in Nova Scotia many Asian restaurants keep a MINIMUM of 50% of the delivery drivers' or Waitstaffs' tips? My gentle probing showed that typical wonderful 20-24 year olds, often students, are simply "happy to get a paycheck". Further gentle questions revealed that the manager keeps the tips because the "tip are fo good food not fo who bring good food to customer". One expensive restaurant allowed the waitress to earn up to 25% of the tips by upselling additional food to original orders depending upon the mood of the manager. Please, discreetly ask your server if they get the tips. Asian food delivery drivers usually get a maximum of 50% of the tip if on credit card. Go ahead and start asking or maybe tip kn cash discretely for excellent service.

Dang. Shes a fox

I tip my Domino's Driver... food is always hot and its been the same young lady for about a year now. I tip between $5-$7 for a small pizza and a drink for me and my Son. And if it's bad weather outside, I tip $10 because I don't drive and I appreciate the service... I live far away so when if I decide to use a delivery service, I try my best to tip the driver...

I once delivered from 10 am to 11 pm took almost 30 deliveries and only made $24

It costs my 92 year old parents over $100 just in tips each month to order their Instacart groceries

Domino's doesn't do their delivery drivers any favors. I love that that will give the customer $3 off the NEXT order if you pick up your own food. Which to me says, tip three dollars on your next delivery if you are following the companies logic. I think asking for me to tip you a percentage of a takeout order is a bit much, but I always tip. I worked for tips and they can make or break you. But Domino's ad campaign could be detrimental to their delivery drivers and in store staff.

I never understand weird tip amounts, like $5.33. Either tip $5 or $6, unless you're just rounding up.

As a former delivery driver myself, tips were never expected. I delivered to someone with a 30-40 dollar order. They handed me a was of cash, and I realized they'd given me $60. I got back out of my car, and told them about the mistake. They told me to keep it for being honest. On the flip side, I delivered.a.$240 order to a church. No tip at all. My manager was more upset by that then I was. Point is, forcing people who work one of the most dangerous jobs no one else wants to do, deserves min wage + tips.

Ok but instead of a white, young, cutesy girl put a black middle age ugly fella... Not the same outcome right? So who gives a f*ck how much tips she makes?The whole thing is completely unfair. From the tipping culture to white privilege

i always tip, grocery delivery or food. usually between 10-15% but i literally have a 10 yard walk from car to my gate. if i had stairs, or like with groceries, if it was heavy items such as water or 20lb animal food bags, i always hand them a few extra bucks. another way to look at it is $5 for the 10-15 min between stops could add up - 4 - 6 stops per hour, maybe an additional $20/hour wage just in tips. but use of their own vehicle is a bit different, wear n tear and gas, that adds up.

Here in Michigan, delivery drivers in our pizza hut franchise drive for state minimum wage while in and out of store. They average between 70~100 per night and on a good weekend can double their paycheck

Does she get paid a wage as well? Non US here, and delivery drivers get at least minimum wage here plus their tips (tends to be around 10% rather than 20)

“dominos pozza is so exspensive and your exspecting a tip aswell” not wildly related, but WHAT

That is about $40 USD converted from CAD.

Those delivery charges are 100% profit for the company. Not a dime goes to the driver. They get on average 1 dollar or so per delivery or so many cents a mile plus tips. Delivery charges are a scam. It is pure profit for nothing

Refusing to tip does not constitute a fight against the system, it screws the person who needs to put gas in their car to bring their food to you. Yes tipping is out of hand. The delivery charge does Not go to driver, it pays for insurance for the restaurant. It's always the people with expensive homes/cars/jewelry who tip zero. I worked at a pizza place for several years as a cook and we could tell by the cost of the order and where it was going whether the driver would get tipped. Going to a run down trailer park? Decent tip because they know what it's like to work in service. Delivering to a McMansion? Rounded up to the nearest dollar on credit card or handed exact change. Exception there is delivering to local celebrities, the Packer's manager and players often gave between 20-100$ depending on time of year. I tip 30% but it's based on service, if i don't have the money to tip i don't order. And that is how it should be, it's a luxury service and not a need.
