Oi, I've been sexually assaulted working pizza deliveries. Fat, sweaty Irish chick grabbed the back of my head and tried to cram my face into her horrible, horrible boobs.
Yeah. Calling the cops would have compelled me to discard the tip out of principle, but I needed the money, lol. Oh, and another time a drug dealer/pimp (and possible mugger?) blocked me off in my parking spot with his car to offer wares. I had one hand concealed on the side of the seat, so he didn't try anything else after. Seriously, that job blew. Never again.
You ever work for tips in a black neighborhood? Approximately 1 in 14 people will tip you. No exaggeration. I've worked in multiple black neighborhoods, same story. They seldom tip. That's not racist, it's truth.
If you can afford pizza, you can afford a tip. And no, you're dead wrong. White people, Asian people, and Hispanic people in similar housing nearly always tipped. The issue is culture, and blacks assimilate on average more to a subculture than to what is considered appropriate by mainstream America. But, the failure to tip is not a result of "being poor." It's a result of "being a dick."
The rare ones who do usually tip above what the average tip is from the other demographics, yes. 13/14 of them will either not tip or are under the impression not asking for their 15 cents change is a tip. The other 1/14 is divided. 1/28 people tip average, (about 2-3 dollars) with the other 1/28 tipping very generously (around 8-12 dollars). So, I'd say the few black people who do tip typically tip generously, but they're in the minority (no pun intended).
I don't really care what people think of me. This is true of most America. And no, I gathered this from multiple black neighborhoods at multiple pizza delivery jobs. And this comment is funny because yes, on the rare occasion a white person doesn't tip, I only remember it ever being females or children. Some people send their kids to the door with EXACT CHANGE so they don't have to embarrass themselves with their cheap asses. I HATE THOSE. They get cars keyed. No exceptions!
I got out of food service. I'm getting my dream job in Colorado in September, so I'ma just wait for that. I don't like delivering dead animals to ignoramuses for a living.
