Ok, since he pleads the 5th and I probably have more experience than he does, I would be glad to also field some questions. Might be interesting if we live in different environments.

Not entirely naked, but I have had a teenage kid come to the door in his underwear while he was on the phone with his girlfriend. He made me wait while he signed his check so I had to sit and listen to them talk. It was kind of disturbing.

Most people are generally nice to me. In my town, we have roads that are often cut off by dead ends and then continue with the same name a few blocks away. I wasn't sure which section she was in, so I called the lady and asked her where she was located. She promptly started to yell at me and then hung up. I tried to call her back, but she wouldn't answer. When I finally found the place, it turns out that she had called my manager and yelled at them, because I "used up her pre-paid cell phone minutes", until she got a free pizza. She was about the rudest customer that I have had.

I have been stiffed on a tip many times. By now, we pretty much now which houses are ones that will always stiff you and we usually compete with each other so that we don't have to take these runs.
There was one time when I delived about 35 pizzas to a car sales lot. It was about a $150 dollar order and I got completely stiffed on the tip. Need less to say, I wanted to go back and let all the air out of the tires.

If it was $15 dollars and some change, I would probably assume that the person would just give me $17 dollars and I would be fine with that. At Dominoes, we have the 555 deal and the total would come to $16.98. From that, most people would just end up giving me a twenty and I really liked that. They were quite popular and the $3 dollar tips add up real fast.
Oh, and I live in a suburban area, so sometimes a good amount of driving is required.

As far as I can remember, the most I have gotten as a tip was 10 dollars, from a $90 some dollar order to a birthday party.

Do specific customers ever request for YOU specifically to deliver a pizza?
What is the most amount of pizzas you had to deliver in one run?
|
Sometimes, if I knew I was going to a place that has always been a horrible tipper. I usually just take my time to get there. If I know there good tippers, I'll usually try and get it there alot faster.
The only one that's ever asked for me specifically was my mom and my aunt once.
I delivered...50 pizzas, I believe it was, to a high school for some student function they were having once.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
