The most aggravating things about being a driver

7. People who compliment for timely delivery and don't tip.


You arrive early and they compliment you for being early. After that, they don't tip. What does it take to please some people? This is cruel. It would be more respectful if they said nothing about it if they won't tip.

This happens so often, whenever I hear a customer praise me for getting it there so fast, I cringe and wonder if there's going to be no tip. If you want to praise the driver for being early, please wait until after you tip us. Then we can believe your compliment was not an empty verbal tip.

It seems there is an unwritten rule. If you ever get the pizza to the customer in 20 minutes or less, there is almost always no tip. They do not respect excellent service.

When you arrive early, no matter what the delivery time, it means you could have waited. You thought it would be best to hurry and be prompt. Then you get no tip for your extra effort. This makes me wonder if it's ever worth it.
