Is this a good job? Has anyone done it (for a major chain like dominoes). I'm thinking about getting one. You use your own car and pay for your own gas and get payed minimum wage, but there's tips too. I'm just wondering if the tips will basically cancel out price of the gas you pay for, resulting in a minimum wage job with no tips.

no, you can usually make decent monye but it really depends on the area you live (area you deliver to).
where abouts are you anyways?

I haven't done it personally, but I have acquaintances who have made a lot of money doing it. Depending on where you live, I'm pretty sure you get some sort of reimbursement for mileage, but it's hard on your car.

i was a manager of a pizza place back in high school days and delivered now and then and made out pretty well for the most part.

Also, I think you can just claim the minimum amount of tips to be taxed, so you probably won't have to pay in quite as much as with a steady hourly wage.

sometimes people slit the delivery boy's throat and leave him to die in the weeds, just to get his pepperonis.

I'm in K4liforn14.. but in some lost town nobody has heard of which I'm pretty sure has somehow lagged behind the rest of civilization 10 or so years in time. Apartments are only 425 buckizoids a monthisus here. That's why I don't have to give too much of a shit about money (or stock options..).
Basically it would be a risk to take this job because I'd have to sacrifice my current job. My current job is actually GREAT, except for one seemingly insignificant thing that makes it TERRIBLE.. the incesant shit music they play on the intertebulon. (I currently work at a grocery store stocking stuff quite lazily).

My current job only has me working 24 hours a week too, which is AWESOME because working sucks. I'm guaranteed 24 hours though. maybe the delivery job won't guarantee me any. I hate everything. Sometimes. What? Shut up. Stop talking to myself. No.

I worked as a delivery driver for 2 years for Pizza Hut.
for the most part it was a good job. i made good money in tips. pizza hut gave me money per run for gas/wear and tear on my car.
i could basically drive around listening to music for a few hours and i got to eat a lot of free pizza. this was bout 4 years ago and i think with tips and wages it worked out to anywhere from $9-$15 dollars or more per hour depending on the night and time of year!

Good! Thanks for telling me. Now I'm optimistic about it because I only make 7.40 right now (ha ha ha, I seriously survive on a 7.40/hour job with only 24 hours a week... that's how frugal I am. Top ramen tastes good.)
That's what I was thinking though.. if I could listen to my own music in my car (instead of shit store music) I'd become less insane and irritated.
Did they kind of force you to work a 40 hour week?... or less? If I made 9 dollars an hour I'd only want to work 20 hours a week, heh heh.

Three kids dressed in trenchcoats shot and killed 11 people in their school today before turning the guns on themselves. Their favorite music was autechre and aphex twin.
That's another thing, damnit... my car isn't good enough to handle this. That means I have to endure shit music for another decade before I can afford a new car and then job change.

get a sweet little vespa thingie with a rack on the back (that's where you strap the pizzas), and use that as your delivery ride.
'cept you gotta wear a cape while your riding it.

a friend of mine worked as a pizza delivery boy in a rich neighborhood (berkley hills in california) and made utterly obscene amounts of cash in tips. i think it really depends on your area.

ha ha ha, that's kind of funny.. and kind of sad.. of course I suppose the proportion of more expensive cost of living/rent in such an area would even it out.
Yes, vespa riders need capes.. and large goggles.

Will your car insurance provider care? Could they raise your rate or force you to buy more coverage? Assuming you have insurance.

I guess all jobs kinda suck. Always annoying, backstabbing coworkers with individual pet peeves. Always annoying bosses. Always afraid of loosing your job even though you might quit. The only thing I like about jobs, most of the time, is the work. Best thing is to find a job where you are in contact with pretty girls all the time or are alone most of the time.
