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.
