The issue with tipping that gets me is that it used to just be table waiting, bell hops, and bartenders that was the tipped position. Now it seems every position is a tipped position. I'm referring to my local places not places like vegas where everything under the sun is tipped.
I know what you're saying. However the driver generally does less, makes as much per hour (doing the only job he does), gets reimbursed mileage and gets to keep all his tips. Typical driver spends (worse case scenario) ten minutes to your house, talks to you for 30 seconds, and smokes a cig on the way back to the store. 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.

Did you also work at a place where all the barstools were turned upside down and it was called Probe? Always seating for four.

Over a matter of maybe a single digit percent difference of one transaction out of several dozen throughout that waiter's day? The difference between choosing 18% +/- X, and having to just pay 18%?

Why is controlling that variable important enough to boycott the establishment?
Why Wouldn't it be?

You can't even leave a poor tip for poor service anymore because they will remember you and give you poor service again if you return. Major problem with tipping right there.

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.

Just remember who your waiter/waitress was and demand someone different.

Drivers now make $4-$5/hr and have the 3rd most dangerous job in America with the Bad drivers and crime. Most of them do A LOT more than just drive the pizza to your house. Even back when I drove I made the pizzas, cut them, prepped up the ingredients and delivered them. They also destroy very expensive vehicles coming to your door.

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.
