Excellent. This pizza delivery job will surely provide for us and our 15 children. I accept and will begin inseminating you immediately. First, umm... can you tell me how?

i actually found that i made better tips in the middle class to lower class areas and crappy tips in the rich neighborhoods. some of the best tips i got came from a mexican family living in some crappy apartments. they ordered a lot of pizza, and always tipped good. on one occasion, they did not have enough extra cash to tip me so they just gave me a slice and a couple wings.
on rare occasions, customers smoked me out. and my buddy once got a tip in the form of 2 porno videos.
one time, this lady didn't tip me and she was a bitch too so i spun my tires in her lawn.
one time, a family accidently tipped me 26 dollars.
once I delivered about 15 pizzas to a church. those bastards didn't help me carry any of the pizzas in, and then they stiffed me.
There was one house where the lady never answered the door. she would just send her kids down because they didn't know that it was customary to tip.
another one of my delivery friends delivered a pizza to an old lady who answered the door in her bath robe. her little dog was jumping up and down trying to get at the pizza. he lept up and caught the belt on the lady's robe and it opened up. my friend caught a full frontal shot of this naked old lady and, unable to speak, just turned around and left. he was so flustered, he forgot to collect the money.
That's about all the pizza stories i can remember right now. not like anyone asked but i was like, "wtf" so i shared!

Its Godfathers in Witchita, Kansas where he met some OG's...thanks to them he could walk 3 kms to work and back in Crackhouse city doing the graveshift shift. Shit pay - around $4 an hour, 10-12 hours...got eat to eat there. Lived macroni cheese and ramen noodles.
In Miami, Florida at the Miami Subs he worked in the drive by window as order taker, running the fast drive by in the whole chain in the city but he clawed his way up the corporate ladder to become a cook. He met Marilyn Mason on a few occasions who gave flea a copy of his demo tape (handdone)while he was still with the Spooky Kids at the drive through who gave him flyers for his live gig..so one of nicest customers he's had!!! Gave him a free drink and got a tip

When I was a wee tike, my 13 yo girlfriend Sandra hated the old lady across the road and called and had her delivered pizzas, a truckload of cement deposited on her lawn, pest controls and other little nasty things...
I had a similar encounter as your friend with a naked man answering the door when I rang his bell when I took on parttime work selling petrol station discount vouchers for lubes and tuneups for a local garage, I screamed and ran off and quit...

A scooter is the most financially viable way of doing it. Good luck getting insurance for using a motorbike for work though...
Some guys insure it as a "personal use" bike, then use it for pizza delivery anyway. You're a bit scuppered if you need to claim and it's obvious you were using it for work though.
Also, I don't know about Tuvalu, but most places in the UK don't tip pizza delivery guys. Mind you, that's usually because it takes an hour for it to come and it's luke warm :-/

in the US it's free, fast and hot (if pizza pit still exists); lots of places give you the pizza free if it's not there in 30 minutes.

i thought they stopped doing that because delivery bros were running over nuns and little kids to get to people's homes on times.
