Restaurant bans tipping. Guess what happened?

So for 10 minutes of "work" he makes double what the people who bust their ass do.

Don't get me wrong, drivers are valuable, but they're kind of like offensive linemen. You don't notice them til they screw up. (which is the sample act of following a gps to your house).

But I thought drivers were paid less per hour and relied on tips to make up the rest like a table waiter. Thats not the case? Not a biggie to me because I always pick up my pizza in person.

Some companies have went to paying $1 less than minimum wage but at the same time the majority did not. Mileage is paid accordingly so it was hit or miss but in my experience I made money on mileage while putting very few miles on my car.

I used to put 100-200 miles per shift on my car and recently Pizza Hut was sued because they weren't paying enough to the drivers for not only 3-4 dollar a gallon gas but wear and tear on the vehicle.
