If I forget your 2 liter, instead of going all the way back to the store, I'll run to the closest shop and buy you one.
I'm suppose to tip you for taking responsibility and fixing your own mistake?

Wow, is pizza delivery an indentured servant position or are you free to quit at any time?
That's actually a good question, because I've been in the habit of factoring the "delivery charge" into my tipping, as I assumed this automatically goes to the driver.
Learn something new every day. I would have assumed that you guys have coins to make change. Not a reflection on you, but of your company. Why in the world would the send you out without the resources to complete the job? I'll have to keep this in mind though.....
This thread is going to change my tipping habits. I thought the driver got some of the delivery charge.
Not quite the same but..... I delivered a weekly business paper in and around Marion co for a few years. deliveries were mostly made to grocery/drug stores. My route (1 of 3) had about 80 stops and I delivered upwards of 1000 papers in my route (read 2 trips to the printers!). I feel your pain on the dipwad drivers driving too slow or turning without signaling.
Something else that irked me was that when i delivered to a store I would leave the car running and park in the fire lane, flashers flashing and placards on all sides of the car announcing that the car was a delivery vehice. I would exit the car with papers in hand and every time some old lady or mom with kids would give me a dirty look for "being lazy" by parking in the fire zone! Hello, can't you see that I'm NOT shopping but delivering a product? Or the time IMPD gave me a $75 ticket for "parking" in a fire lane!
Like you I had to provide my own car, gas, tires, insurance etc. The most profit I showed for a Friday delivery (10 hrs work) was about $80!!
Also, like someone already said, the write off for miles really isn't worth it but I could deduct a portion of my internet, cell phone and meals.
John
You do know that if you keep a log of miles driven for the pizza job you can deduct I believe 41 cents a mile on you taxes, along with some maintenance cost.
You can't deduct the whole 41 cents. You can only deduct the difference between that and what you were paid for mileage. If you're paid 31 cents, then you can only deduct 10 cents/mile.
WOW I delivered Pizza in High School for a few yrs and only had a great time. Tiips where always great from, cash, to beer, to pot, to ummm yeah on occasion those adult mags do get a thing right from time to time. Sorry to hear people are treating you so poorly!
I delivered pizza in high school as well. I pretty much had the same experiences you did! It's amazing the things you see as a pizza delivery driver!
After being a pizza delivery driver I decided the next step up for me was being a pool boy!
