Today, I was delivering pizza in the rain. A woman answered the door, saw me soaking wet and said, "Wow this rain is terrible, it must be horrible to be out delivering in it." She then tipped me 21 cents. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while I was delivering pizza in the torrential downpour, I waited 5 minutes in the pouring rain for an old lady to dig 20 bucks out of her purse. Her total was $19.99. She told me to keep the change and make lots of money. FML
Today, it started pouring while I was in the middle of a pizza delivery. I had to stand out in the rain for ten minutes while an old redneck dude wearing nothing but camo boxers fumbled around for the exact change to pay the bill. I think seeing his junk was supposed to count as my tip. FML
Today, I was working as a Valet driver. After getting no customers for 5 hours in the pouring rain, a woman driving by stops and asks me for directions. Before leaving, she said, "I should probably tip you for that, since that's probably the only money you'd get all night." She didn't. FML
Today, I got a $20 tip from an old lady I delivered pizza to. Ecstatic, I walked back to my car where there was a $30 parking fine waiting for me. FML
Today, while delivering pizzas, someone ordered $19.41 in pizza and wings. After finally finding her appartment, she paid me in two sandwich bags full of pennies and nickels. I had to count them out before giving her the pizza. We aren't allowed to enter the residence, and it was 22 degrees. FML
Today, I was delivering pizzas and hit up a dude’s house who ordered two boxes of extra large. He gave me the exact change. I asked him, “What about the tip?” He paused for a minute, let out this loud rancid fart and said, “There’s your tip bub, now piss off!” and shut the door in my face. FML
Today, I helped a lady carry her grocery bags to her car. She was so grateful that she offered me a tip. I refused, but she insisted. When I finally took it, I looked at the bill to see she'd given me $1. I smiled and said thank you, but she looked at me like I’d just robbed her. FML
Today, a lady handed me a $10 tip on a $45 bill. I was happy with it, since it was more than 20%, until she came back in and said, "I'm sorry I gave you the wrong amount." I handed it back to her and then she gave me a dollar. FML
Today, I'm a waitress. A customer came in and acted very kindly and even mentioned how I was such a help to her. She also mentioned leaving a nice tip. The tip? A fake $20. Thanks. FML
Today, I was bitched out by a pizza delivery man. I didn't have the cash to pay him for a pizza I didn't even order. FML

They're not actually obliged to give you a tip, be happy you got something.

giving tips is very common in the US but condisered an insult in other countries but it is ALWAYS OPTIONAL as a pizza guy it is very common to get tips b/c of gas all u can do besides complain is remember the address and NEVER GO BACK tell another driver to do it

The company is required to reimburse delivery drivers for gas and oil (which is why most pizza parlors have a delivery fee), tips go directly into their pockets.

for those saying that they don't have to tip, those delivery charges don't really cover gas and wear and tear. those tips offset the cost because delivery drivers drive their own vehicles.

If you can't afford to tip the delivery guy, get off your lazy ass and drive there at your own expense (not to mention you'll have to pay extra anyway for delivery. If you can barely afford it, don't get it.) As other people said, delivery guys use their own cars for their jobs and some don't get gas from their employer. While OP's customer was not required to tip, it's rude not to, and it's almost insulting to just get 21 cents.

Yes, but at the same time, all, or at least a majority, of the delivery fee goes to the driver. I'm a waitress at a pizza place, so I see these boys leaving work at the end of the night with well over two hundred dollars. And btw, what does it matter if it's raining ? There's a reason they have cars...it's not like they're riding around on bikes delivering pizzas in the rain.

no. not all or most of the fee goes to the driver. I work at a pizza hut and the fee is $2.50. I get $0.91 out of that.

That instantly sucks. I got pizza last night and tipped $10 because the gate at my apartments didn't open correctly.
