Eateries in Seattle are beginning to shutdown as $15 dollar minimum wage looms

#66

Quote:The food industry is really terrible to work in, especially at the lower levels though.  I had a friend who used to deliver pizzas, and she said a lot of people were terrible tippers (which is why she quit.  She said one college dorm ordered more than 20 pizzas, and then left no tip at all)  


Then you have waiters and waitresses, who are living on tips (which usually do amount to more than minimum wage, though I'm sure it'd amount to more if people weren't jerks about tipping.  Another friend of ours said she had people tip her with cards with passages from the bible sometimes, which made her want to break the "thou shalt not kill' commandment)


But at the higher levels... some of them make some big money.  I believe the national average for Dominoes Manager is $55k/year.  That's just... wow.  I definitely took the wrong job when I was 16. 


I actually prefer Little Cesar's pizza though.  Ours makes good pizza.  And it's only $5.00.  Just walk in, get it, and go.  Which is useful when the wife and I are both busy, and the kids are really hungry.  Can't even get a frozen pizza for that much anymore.
 

I hate bad tippers, by all means I live on a modest income and lifestyle but I make sure IF I go out I can afford to tip at least 20%. I usually tip 25-30% just because I know what it's like to work a thankless job.

 

usually if the service is REALLY bad, I tip them 20% anyways just because everyone has a bad day, maybe a good tip will help them out of a slump.

 

Quote:Discount on pizza? When I delivered for Pizza hut, if the cooks messed up the pizza with toppings everyone just got to eat it. Care to guess how often that occurred? Wink
 

I'm filling out my application as we speak, one thing you just can't get in a good bunker is decent pizza. Those solar ovens just don't do pizza right.
