As Gas Prices Increase, Tips Should Increase As Well
So how much did you pay for a gallon of gas today?
Its crazy. The cheapest place around charges $3.45 per freakin' gallon of premium gas. Again, thats the cheapest prices around. Other stations are charging just under $4 per gallon for premium. How the hell can these people ask us for $4 for ONE freaking gallon of gas?!? Thats like a value meal at McDonalds....however, to feed the car, multiply that by 13 or in somecases, such as my SUV, 23 times. $92 dollars to fill my SUV's tank!
Anyways, the gas prices these days are making it difficult for me to deliver and still have money left over to spend for the week. Afterall, I do this just for spending money (lunch, gas, groceries). I think that it will soon become more economical to take the taxi to get around town. I wonder why they (the taxi's) don't charge more these days due to the increase fuel costs.
I for one purpose that people who get delivery also pay a premium for delivery. Its only fair. If I had paid more attention in economics class, I'd give you a thorough explanation on why its necessary. Anyways, who's with me on my train of thought here? Delivery guys and gals around the USA should start to demand more from our customers. Customers should be more generous knowing how much it costs to fill our tanks now.
Those people who order food from a place from across town, do us a favor and do not call. Please get food from a LOCAL place. If you ignore this advice, you better be prepared to tip us well, very well!
Remember, times have changed. Hurricane Katrina's timing could not be worst. Gas prices are soaring through the roof and there are outtages in many places. Delivery professionals are paying premiums to get gas for our vehicles to bring you food. The right thing to do as delivery recipients is to adjust your tipping habits to account for the increase in gas prices.

Sonix,
I don't actually drive the suv to deliver food. I'm just illustrating how expensive gas prices are. My bad for not being a professional writer, or journalist, editor, or whatever they're called.
I deliver just one day a week because I have to, can't get out of it. Been doing it since 1996.
I don't understand how people can order food and not give a tip. Small or large, you should give a tip no matter what. Some people just give you exact change and act like they did you a favor. How would you like driving across town to bring someone food and get no tip? When someone brings you pizza, don't you feel obligated to give them a little something extra for their troubles? Its a convenience to them, a service they could do without if they were willing to go get the food themselves. Not only do I save them time, but they dont have to drive and waste gas, and lots of intangibles.
Yes if the truth be known, in some moments I can say that I jibe consent to with you, but you may be considering other options.
