Objections 23. Drivers make $10, 12, or 15 an hour. Domino's has a sign that says drivers make up to $10 or $12 an hour. Pizza Hut advertises $15 an hour. This has led some customers to believe the base pay is $12 or $15 an hour before tips. As if tips were on top of that. The sign is misleading. The hourly wage for drivers is minimum or near-minimum wage. (Some stores pay sub-minimum wage.) The sign assumes tips in the figure. They assume drivers will make $12 or $15 an hour with tips included, and that's with good tips. A more accurate sign would say, "Drivers earn up to $12 an hour AFTER tips." Unfortunately, most store ads don't mention tips. If you object because the driver makes more than you, the tip is not based on what you have, but is a payment for services.
