Ok, I see this is 3 days old, but I'll respond. I actually have delivered for Dominos. First off, you don't get just one delivery at a time. You get multiple. The driver is responsible for making sure all the deliveries are correct before going out the door. That means all drinks, sauce cups, checking the ticket against what's in the boxes, calling mistakes in the order, ordering a reorder, handling the oven for other drivers when your turn isn't up, and more. It's chaotic
@calicuz Yeah I definitely don't include the "delivery fee" as part of a tip. I tip separate. I was going to tip $3 since it's so close to my place and not a lot of items.
A tip for Domino delivery should be $5. But if you're in a hard to find area then it should be more. But a mile away and an easy apartment to get in and out of should be $5 to the driver.
@sstronaut Mozzarella made out of buffalo milk. Way better tasting than regular cow one (which is tasteless in comparison)
San Marzano instead is a specific variety of tomato that grows on volcanic soils and taste much better than whatever regular tomato sauces most pizzerias use
Yeah but as I said those combo exist also here. Except you get them on actual pizza dough and not frozen / fastfood ones 😜
@Jokersswild I was going to tip $3 since it's so close and only 2 items. By your math I would tip 2.5. My order was $25 (after all the fees). You never tip ever? Not even restaurants? While tipping IS an insane U.S culture thing, the workers really don't get paid much. And yeah I know that's not the consumers fault but it's reality. I worked at steak and shake for a day, once. My wage was $2.50 an hour, since they expected people to tip. I don't know what the hourly wage is for delivery drivers but I imagine it's the same.
@seaglass I really didn't want to do delivery but it's one of those days I just want to be a hermit. You are right though, the fees and taxes have gotten INSANE. Domino's is doing 50% off all pizzas this week but once they add the delivery fee and taxes, it's cancels itself out.
