![]() If there were a 5$ minimum, we could have double the orders very easily, and would need about double the drivers. Unless the minimum was like 5$ five bucks isn't much for a funny prank, and certainly isn't much for bait for a robbery or something - keeping the difference between minimum delivery amount and maximum cash-on-hand is a very easy way to reduce risk for drivers, and reducing the cash-on-hand amount to coincide with a reduced minimum delivery would negatively affect a lot of people getting correct change.Ī second idea is that it keeps the required amount of drivers lower. If it's a card, there's no reason to think it's a prank or bait of some sort. If it's cash, and it sounds fishy, find a way to verify. You mean to tell me that this mega corporation that sells pizzas for $6 and pays customers $3 to come in to get their pizzas can't find any possible way to pay their employees properly, and then convince them that its the customer's fault when they don't make ends meet? Again, this is just wrong and bordering unethical business practice.Building on what was said, it can also cut down on prank orders. When you got your job, did your boss say "now if they don't tip, be slow with their order, make their food sloppy so they don't order again" or something like "we don't treat people who don't tip with any respect" in which case I understand why you believe this. This ends up treating people who have enough money to order, with 5 kids at home, but no car or no easy way to get the pizza, and then they have to pay a tip on top of the delivery fee or else they can't order or that mom is an asshole? How self centered drivers are!!! I believe they had delivery fees at some places before this but it was at literally every delivery place after Katrina.Īmerican jobs that pay with tips doesn't mean that people are REQUIRED to tip. ![]() As far as delivery fees, the way it happened where I was, it was all due to hurricane Katrina. I remember my first hiring manager told me "every penny of every tip you receive is extra and is in no way expected". When you got your job, its the hiring manager's responsibility to explain this. I did not outright call you an elitist but did mention it is an elitist mentality. The mentality of being like "tips are expected and if you don't tip don't order" is elitist. They put their lives at risk everyday driving in traffic to deliver you a hot fresh pizza, I don’t think it’s right to use corporate policies and pay to excuse a lack of a tip. You may not agree with companies giving tipped employees cheaper wages, but not tipping for that reason doesn’t punish anybody but the person working the job. I don’t have the ability to change it, and neither do you (unless your going into politics). You don’t know me, and if you’re going to “call me out” maybe you should ask questions about my stance before assuming.Īmerican restaurants and service jobs revolve around tips. You ASSUMED I’m taking the stance of a corporate shill. YOU commented to me calling me elitist for stating a fact. So the delivery fee going up is to compensate for that.Īs for the personal attacks. Costs of everything has gone up since, yet the price point hasn’t changed. The fee originally was intended to lower the cost of specials so they could advertise ridiculously cheap pizzas. Without a delivery fee, 555 wasn’t possible, 5.99 also wouldn’t be possible. The delivery fee was originally introduced to offer low cost specials to consumers. Halfway through reading and you’re already incorrect. ![]() If I kept myself at Domino's all these years I never would have amounted to anything. You don't like that someone on the internet has an opinion different from your own, or a more educated opinion than yours, take it as an opportunity to learn. You are the one who has been nothing but vulgar and insulting of others intelligence right from the start. Almost 20 years later the delivery fee is 2x as much and gas is still $3.50, but the drivers only get a fraction of that fee. Gas went from $1.50 to $3.50 in less than a month, delivery fee was $2. I worked as a delivery driver before and after hurricane Katrina, so I know where delivery fees originated from and I know they were covering delivery expenses before charging a delivery fee. So basically when you get hired, you agree to taking deliveries and all tips are optional, and not in any way mandatory. ![]() You could at the very least advocate on forums that 1) tipping is not mandatory no even in large orders and 2) it is wrong for Domino's to charge $6 a pizza because it just gets the employees mad at the customers because they are only paying $6. But you have no qualms with Domino's doing what they do by charging a delivery fee to boost their profits. ![]() No, you are not in charge of what they charge. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know I wasn't allowed to post my opinion. ![]()
