As recent as last night?

There are more establishments in Dublin than Domino's. Many more.

You still think you can call my post rubbish because you stood in Domino's watching drivers coming and going?

My post in post 22, mentions dominoes specifically.. It does not refer to other companies.

I am talking solely about dominoes, not anyone else.

Post 11 mentions them directly.

You quoted my post and called it rubbish, mate. I never mentioned Domino's up till then. This thread is about pizza delivery drivers, not just Domino drivers.

Don't buy pizzas but usually give two or three euro tip if I get something delivered from the local Indian or Chinese.

It's just an act of minor largese that I don't think too deeply about or sit down over a spreadsheet analyzing its potential impact vis a vis taxation and fast food industry wages.

I was under the impression my local Apache pizza drivers got a base wage and the 3.50 delivery charge on top, or 3.50 per delivery plus cost of petrol (can't remember which). Tips on top then.

I sometimes tip if they are there quick. But I've been left hanging for an hour before and received a cold slab of brick like material. In that case, no tipping. It's a stupid American thing anyway.

Why does anyone tip a driver ?Let the company pay them properly, not up to the customer to subsidise them.

Now that almost all fast food delivery add on this delivery charge, wether it be 1 euro or 3.50 onto you meal.

Should I still be tipping? [...]

Yes, I think one should tip. I don't think the delivery charge is a gratuity—it goes to the business not the driver I believe.

I work delivering Indian food, and the majority of people tip, I'd say about 75%.

We ordered dominos last night, paid with card when I ordered and when it arrived I thought I had change but I had absolutely nothing. I felt really really bad not tipping him. Guess who'll probably be last getting their pizza in future?

I try to give a euro, sometimes 2 if I pay by card.
Last time I tipped 2 euro the pizza barely had any cheese, seemed to be missing another ingredient and was overcooked to the point that it looked like it had been deep fried.
Know it's not the delivery chaps fault, but how can that justify a tip?
No way to win :mad:

My delivery girl is a woman - always tip her

judeboy101 · 28-01-2017 05:55PM

Never tip if there's a delivery charge. If I use dominos (no delivery charge) I tip if they arrive by the time they say they will.

I just the fresh pizzas from Aldi. They take about 10 mins to cook and are superior to Dominos etc which are dirt

Honest question- why is nearly every Dominos driver Pakistani or Bangladeshi (my guess)? Be it my local one or ordering in at friends all around Dublin I've never come across an Irish one in at least 15 years.

I'd say someone higher up is from there and hiring people they know from the subcontinent, or possibly based on recommendations from fellow workers. It's the same with Apache Pizza.

Similar to how practically every Supervalu employee is a school/college student working part-time, it must be based on friends getting other friends jobs.

Curious I've rarely seen a Pakistani (etc) delivering a Chinese meal, and rarely seen a Chinese delivering pizza.
(I think Chinese delivery guys tend to be related to the owners of the Chinese restaurant though, as they tend to be family-run operations).

Of course you get the occasional Irish guy thrown into the mix
